ICEF is a global convention for discussing amongst industry-academia-government leaders world wide to advertise “INNOVATION”, the important thing to fixing international warming. The convention will function discussions amongst personal sector, tutorial, and authorities officers with experience, who will current and share their newest data of social and technological innovation.

ICEF2022 will likely be held beneath the theme of “Low-Carbon Innovation in a Time of Crises,” with audio system together with TANAKA Nobuo, Chair of ICEF Steering Committee and Former Executive Director of International Energy Agency (IEA), Ahmad O. Al-Khowaiter, CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of Saudi Aramco, and different main consultants from varied fields, as we have to transfer ahead to a brighter future even in a time of crises. In addition, younger researchers of the entrance line will be a part of the session to share the most recent data on local weather change countermeasures and focus on in regards to the innovation which is the important thing to fixing international warming, together with “CDR (Carbon Dioxide Removal technology)” talked about on the G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministerial Meeting, “critical metals and minerals” contributing to carbon neutrality which will likely be featured in ICEF for the primary time, and discussions on decarbonization from a political perspective.

The mission of ICEF is to carry the chance to share the data with main consultants from world wide, promote dialogue and cooperation amongst individuals, and disseminate innovation in power/environmental know-how to a wider viewers than simply the individuals. Also, ICEF promotes gender equality and youth engagement primarily based on our consciousness that diversification is the origin of innovation.

Participants could have a beneficial alternative to work together with main consultants in respective fields and be uncovered to the forefront of technological innovation in Japan and world wide.

Policy Innovation

In order to realize carbon neutrality by the mid-Twenty first century, accelerating actions by 2030 is strongly required. Due to the present state of world affairs and fast shift to renewable power leading to excessive power value, power safety in every nation is prone to being jeopardized. While some nations have accelerated renewable power use due to the excessive power value, different nations with heavy reliance on fossil fuels should take crucial actions to stability its power safety and additional decarbonization.

In this session, coverage innovation surrounding broad points corresponding to international affairs and worldwide power commerce will likely be mentioned.

Demand-driven Energy Transformation

This session discusses power transformation of the demand-side by encouraging behavioral modifications in power customers. The demand-driven power transformation primarily entails power effectivity enchancment and renewable power enlargement. The dialogue focuses particularly on applied sciences and coverage frameworks to help behavioral change in enhancing power effectivity and using renewable power, and social innovation to assist the power demand to be managed. The session additionally touches on how the power customers might have an effect on the supply-side business. The panelists will share info and data on applied sciences, improvements, and insurance policies to nudge the customers towards power transformation.

Actions Needed for Realizing Carbon Neutrality in Heat and Transport Sectors with Hydrogen and E-fuel/E-methane

In hard-to-abate sectors, expectations for hydrogen and artificial fuels (e-fuel and e-methane) have been rising. For occasion, artificial fuels made out of CO2 and hydrogen are anticipated to play an vital position in varied sectors corresponding to transport, {industry}, and family. In explicit, electrification by itself is not going to be sufficient for decarbonizing the transport sector.

The uptake of hydrogen and artificial fuels stays restricted and faces challenges, and particularly so within the transport sector, the place it has the very best dependency on fossil fuels than some other sectors.

This session will focus on the most recent tendencies and challenges of hydrogen and artificial fuels, and what could be achieved by 2030 in an effort to notice carbon neutrality, primarily specializing in the point of view of the provision facet to the transport, {industry}, and family sectors.

Energy Transition Leaving Nobody Behind

More than 100 nations have pledged their very own Carbon Neutrality (CN), nonetheless there are totally different approaches in every nation for realizing the purpose. A holistic strategy to sort out each the local weather change concern and financial growth is required to realize CN on the worldwide scale. We must also take into account if fast mitigation measures such because the sudden mass set up of renewable power might speed up the deterioration of power safety, increase unemployment for fossil gasoline {industry} employees, and so forth. The pathway to CN in every nation just isn’t the identical for all nations, however every wants a neighborhood, complete transition strategy which includes an efficient fossil gasoline coverage, {industry} coverage, and environmental coverage. This session discusses the compatibility of financial growth and carbon neutrality, and the stability between local weather change coverage and different insurance policies to attenuate hostile financial and social impacts. Possible particular actions till 2030 will likely be explored.

Carbon Dioxide Removable Technologies

Commitment to attaining carbon neutrality in 2050 has accelerated growth and funding in economically and technically obtainable carbon dioxide removing applied sciences that make the most of engineering-based know-how and pure sources, corresponding to forests, soil, and ocean.

The newest IPCC AR6 WG3 report printed in April 2022 talked about that carbon removing applied sciences would turn into important in attaining internet unfavorable carbon emissions.

However, to advertise the deployment of carbon dioxide removing applied sciences, we have to develop methodologies for quantifying and certifying carbon removing from the environment utilizing such applied sciences and for ecological impression evaluation.

In this session, we are going to focus on good governance for avoiding battle with meals manufacturing and the challenges and potential options associated to MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) of carbon removing utilizing carbon dioxide removing applied sciences.

Sustainable Nuclear Systems

The quantity of greenhouse gasoline tentatively lowered by COVID19 turned to extend once more. Giving such a scenario, loads of measures are required to appreciate carbon impartial on the planet. Importance of power safety elevated together with the altering worldwide scenario. In such a scenario, dialogue of the significance of nuclear power elevated once more.

On the opposite hand, sustainable situations of radioactive waste corresponding to sustainability necessities and design together with native communities are required for propelling nuclear power.

In this session, we are going to summarize the analysis and growth of nuclear power and focus on sustainable nuclear system within the context of the timeframe aimed toward carbon neutrality by 2050.

How to Secure a Sustainable Value Chain within the Age of Resilience: Critical Metals and Minerals?

We have witnessed successes and improvements in diversifying suppliers, sourcing/resourcing various supplies, realizing a round economy and design and redesign with alternate options. Yet, on the similar time, our dedication and plans to realize internet zero carbon emissions are being challenged by growing geopolitical complexity and perplexities, intensified local weather change, air pollution and lack of nature, long-standing justice and equality questions, specifically round land use and land rights of indigenous communities. Therefore, extra urgently than ever, we have to collect collective knowledge and partnerships not solely throughout the provision chain but in addition past it to rethink, redesign and reshape the worth chain, and thus meet the challenges and demand of {the marketplace} and the clear power and industrial revolution.

In mild of the scenario, this session will concentrate on improvements for securing a steady provide of vital metals and minerals within the context of attaining carbon neutrality, whereas contemplating the worth chain from the manufacturing section, impacts of worldwide tendencies, various supplies, and the round economy.
