脱炭素エネルギー先導人材育成フェローシップ実施委員 ご挨拶28九州大学 エネルギー研究教育機構教育推進部門サブコーディネータClimate change is a complex and urgent challenge that requires a multi-facet-ed response. The ongoing carbon emissions from energy production, transporta-tion, and other human activities are contributing to the warming of our planet and threatening the health and well-being of people and ecosystems. The solu-tion to this problem requires a combination of new technologies, policies, and societal changes.Kyushu University is at the forefront of this effort, with several fellowship pro-grams to cultivate a new generation of researchers, leaders, and thinkers who can contribute to the fight against climate change. This program is an excellent example of the university’s leadership in this area. It is a privilege to be a part of it as a researcher and coordinating team member.My research focuses on carbon capture and storage, specifically using high-performance gas separation membranes to separate and capture CO2 emissions from industrial sources such as heat power plants, cement, and steelworks. However, as the scale and consequences of carbon emissions have become more evident, my research has expanded to include direct air capture of CO2 . This ap-proach will be critical in the future, not only in reaching carbon neutrality of the energy system but also in removing the high amount of CO2 already emitted into the atmosphere.I am inspired by the dedication and enthusiasm of the fellows in the program and their wide range of research topics. Their work gives me hope that together, we can significantly impact the goal of net carbon zero by 2050, the target set by the Japanese government. It is essential to reach this goal to protect the planet and people’s well-being.The Japanese government has announced its intention to reach carbon neu-trality around 2050, a critical first step toward addressing the global problem of climate change. However, achieving this goal will require a concerted effort from all sectors of society, including government, industry, and individuals. The Q-ENERGY fellowship program at Kyushu University is integral to this effort. It is training the next generation of leaders who will be essential in driving the transi-tion to a carbon-neutral energy system.The road ahead will not be easy, but with the support of the Japanese govern-ment, institutions like Kyushu University, and the contributions of a new gen-eration of students, we can make real progress toward a more sustainable, more secure energy system and, eventually, a healthy planet for all. Our work today will directly impact the future, and it is our responsibility to ensure we leave a legacy that future generations can be proud of.I welcome many students to apply for the fellowship program to build a robust interdisciplinary, collaborative environment, learn from each other and achieve higher goals together.Discussion of the details of the DAC system with Tinahui Fan (Q-ENERGY fellow), who col-laborates with Dr. Selyanchyn and performs the Life Cycle Analysis of the DAC device.Explaining his own research and its contri-bution into the future energy system to fel-lows of the program during the 2022 Sum-mer retreat.
