panel discussion

With new land and sea circulation,

Aiming for carbon fixation and ocean restoration

A panel discussion on "New Land-Ocean Cycles for Carbon Fixation and Ocean Regeneration" will be held at Kagawa Forum 2022, a super interdisciplinary conference hosted by RIVANES.

Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Kagawa Forum 2022

Atmospheric CO2As a way to reduce emissions, attention is focusing on the fixation of carbon in the ocean as "blue carbon" by having marine organisms absorb it. On the other hand, the oceans, which are the source of this absorption, are now facing problems such as rocky shore scorch, oligotrophication, and the influx of garbage from the land, and measures to maintain their abundance are required. Can we solve both global warming and ocean restoration at the same time by connecting technologies from different fields? In this session, three businesses and researchers from different fields will talk about their technologies and initiatives, and consider how we can create collaboration to solve these two global issues.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, startups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. For more information, please refer to the conference website.
*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.
