关井化工有限公司.有限公司. (President and 代表 Director: Keita Kato; hereinafter, “SEKISUI 化学”) and INCJ公司. (President and COO: Mikihide Katsumata; hereinafter: “INCJ”) have established a joint venture called 关井生物精炼厂.有限公司. (以下, (“合资”),目的是验证将可燃废物转化为乙醇的技术并将其商业化*1 使用SEKISUI 化学和美国初创公司LanzaTech(以下简称LanzaTech)联合开发的微生物催化剂, “BR*2 乙醇技术”).

*1参见SEKISUI 化学 Dec. 6 2017年新闻稿: “Turning “Waste” into Ethanol Establishing a first-in-the-world innovative production technology”.
*2 BR:生物精炼厂的缩写.

合资公司将对BR乙醇技术进行最后阶段的验证,以备未来的实施和商业化, a verification plant will be established in Kuji City, 岩手县. It is planned that operation for verification project will start at the end of fiscal 2021. At the verification plant,大约imately one tenth (approx. 在标准规模的废物处理设施处理的城市固体废物量的20t/天)将从现有的废物处理设施接收,然后用作生产乙醇的原料. 当地市政当局等合作伙伴, 垃圾处理相关公司 and plant manufacturers will be widely recruited. 验证工厂生产的乙醇将供应给各行各业对该技术感兴趣的许多公司,以评估乙醇在各种产品和业务中的使用. 通过这些举措,合资公司的目标是实现BR乙醇技术的全面商业化.

Through the verification project of BR ethanol technology by the JV, SEKISUI 化学和INCJ都将为创建最终的资源回收社会系统做出贡献,这将有助于解决各种社会问题.

1.背景

约6000万吨*3 of combustible waste is generated each year in 日本. When converted to calories, this would equate to approximately 200 trillion kcal. 尽管与日本用于生产塑料的化石资源的数量(大约1000万美元)相比,这很容易达到足够的规模. 3000万吨/年*4,大约. 150万亿千卡), 只有一部分废物被回收,而大部分废物被焚烧并通过填埋的方式处理.

塑料被用于各种便利的产品,为十大赌博娱乐平台的生活方式,是十大赌博娱乐平台日常生活中不可或缺的一部分. 与此同时, as highlighted by the issue of marine plastic waste, the handling of plastics after they have been used is a serious problem. In order to solve this issue, plastics need to be recycled after use..

To pass on a sustainable society to the next generation, SEKISUI 化学 has engaged in the conversion of waste into resources for new products. 在这个倡议下, unsorted unrecyclable waste including plastic waste are converted into an urban oil field. In 2017, 与LanzaTech合作开发了将未分类的不可回收废物等原料转化为乙醇的技术. 从那时起,它利用环境部支持的项目(碳循环社会模式示范项目)招募合作伙伴并研究商业模式,以实现该技术的实际实施和商业化.

【BR乙醇技术】

In 2017, SEKISUI化学和LanzaTech共同开发了一种生产技术,该技术可以将废物处理设施收集的废物转化为气体,然后在不使用任何热量或压力的情况下利用微生物将气体转化为乙醇. This innovative technology has made it possible to use “waste”, abundant but extremely difficult to use in 业务, as a resource alternative to fresh fossil resources.
