In 2020, the then Prime Minister Suga declared that Japan will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In order to achieve the goal of "limiting global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels" as set out in the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015, many other countries around the world are taking similar actions. In the field of ocean development, we need to address the issues such as, global warming countermeasures, the use of renewable energy and the transition to decarbonized fuels.
In order to address such issues, The Nippon Foundation is implementing a joint R&D program with DeepStar*1 and Scottish Enterprise*2.
In December 2021, the Nippon Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with DeepStar (USA) and started a new joint R&D program to promote decarbonization in offshore oil and gas technology development. Currently, 12 projects are ongoing under this new program. In 2017, an MoU was signed with Scottish Enterprise and a new scheme was launched in 2019 to promote joint R&D for a "blue economy," a concept aimed at realizing economic growth through sustainable use of the ocean. As of November 2022, a total of 9 projects have been completed under this R&D program with Scottish Enterprise.
In this seminar, Japanese companies that have worked on these joint R&D projects will report on the progress of joint R&D with DeepStar and present the achievement of joint R&D with Scottish Enterprise.
*1 DeepStar : A consortium of offshore technology development consisting of companies responsible for exploration, development and production of offshore oil and natural gas around the world, such as Chevron (USA), Shell (UK) and Equinor (Norway), which are called upstream companies, and companies, universities, research institutes, etc. that provide products and services to these upstream companies
*2 Scottish Enterprise: Scotland's national economic development agency and a non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government. To deliver a significant, lasting effect on the Scottish economy, they work with partners in the public and private sectors to find and exploit the best opportunities.
