Dear participants,

On behalf of the organizing committee of International Symposium of Heterogeneous Catalysis for Sustainable Energy and Chemical Production, we would like to extend our deepest appreciation for your participation in the symposium.
We hope that this symposium will serve as a platform for generating solutions to create a better future by through renewable energy and sustainable chemical synthesis.

Please enjoy the soft snow of Sapporo and make sure to stay warm.

Sincerely yours,

Asso. Prof. Kiyotaka Nakajima
Chair of the Symposium

Prof. Emiel J. Hensen
Co-chair of the Symposium


The emission of CO2, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG), is the leading cause of global warming. To counter this issue, Japan Science & Technology launched the Advanced Low Carbon Technology Research and Development Program in 2010, which was aimed towards the development of technologies that reduce CO2 emission in the atmosphere. This symposium will highlight the fundamental and applied research topics in the field of heterogeneous catalysis for sustainable production of energy and chemicals from renewable resources with the aim of minimizing CO2 emission.
Sapporo, is the capital of Hokkaido, and famous for delicious food, beer, and plenty of snow. We hope that the participants will make the most of their visit and enjoy the symposium and sightseeing.
