"Sumitomo Metal Mining Industry-Academia Joint Course for the Effective Use of Carbon Dioxide" established at Kyoto University: research and development of a photocatalyst for CO2 reduction to achieve carbon neutrality

Kyoto University and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd, or SMM, in R&D collaboration since 2019 on a CO2 reduction photocatalyst, established the "Sumitomo Metal Mining Industry-Academia Joint Course for the Effective Use of Carbon Dioxide" on 1 June 2022 at the KyotoU Katsura Campus with a view to accelerating their joint effort. This industry-academia joint course, commencing in earnest this month with the appointment on 1 July of Program-Specific Senior Lecturer Shoji Iguchi as one of its instructors, is run by Catalysis Chemistry Laboratory (faculty: Professor Tsunehiro Tanaka and Professor Kentaro Teramura) of Applied Reaction Chemistry Chair in the Department of Molecular Engineering at Kyoto University Graduate School of Engineering and SMM.
