JOURNAL FREE ACCESSUnder the Kyoto Protocol, any Annex I country is expected to achieve its commitment target through not only reduction in its domestic GHG emission but also utilisation of the Kyoto Mechanisms. An examination of “The Kyoto Protocol Target Achievement Plan” established by Japanese government implies that Japan's compliance with the protocol would highly depend on the Kyoto Mechanisms. Since the Kyoto Protocol can be seen as the first step towards the long-run emission reduction in the future, it is likely that Japan faces even further GHG emission reduction target in the post-Kyoto regime, where a dependence of “Kyoto Mechanisms”, rather than domestic reduction, could be deepened to achieve the target. Avoiding such situation, a development of “break-through” new technologies to reduce GHG emissions is extremely desired.View full abstractDownload PDF (2307K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe alternating copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxide to give aliphatic polycarbonate is one of the most promising methodologies for the efficient utilization of carbon dioxide as a direct raw material in the synthetic chemistry. In this article, recent author's examples of efficient catalysts for the alternating copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxide are described.View full abstractDownload PDF (1506K)
