We aim at the development of new conversion process and sustainable circular use of biomass.

Determination of Fine Structure by NMR and Development of Utilization Using Enzymes of Biomass

Kyoto University and Daicel ltd. have been carrying out collaboration aiming at realization of circular-type low-carbon society and development of industries. We have contracted the comprehensive cooperation agreement on October 1, 2021. The contract will stand for eight and half a year until 2030. Our Institute has started "Biomass Product Tree Industry-Academia Collaborative Research Laboratory" in collaboration with Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere, Institute for Chemical Research and Daicel ltd. Professor Katahira's group participates in the Collaborative Laboratory with the research theme of "Determination of Fine Structure by NMR and Development of Utilization Using Enzymes of Biomass". Currently, sixteen members are engaged in the Collaborative Laboratory.
