\n\u30fbVenue Access Boat\u3010Smart Mobility Expo\u3011
\n(Iwatani Corporation)
\nHydrogen fuel cell ships navigating on a hybrid of hydrogen and electricity will provide a smarter, cleaner means of transportation for visitors to the Expo site via the sea. Iwatani Corporation has begun development of a hydrogen fuel cell boat in 2019. In fiscal year 2021, the project was adopted as the one subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), and the development of hydrogen fuel cell boats has been promoted with the cooperation of The Kansai Electric Power Company, Incorporated, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.; Development Bank of Japan, Osaka Aqua Bus Ltd., and others. The Expo will position the boat as a \u201cmoving pavilion,\u201d transforming transportation to and from the Expo site into a special experience and serving as a base for communicating the appeal of hydrogen energy to the world.<\/p>\n

\u30fbAll Photonics Network\u3010Digital Expo\u3011
\n(NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION)
\nNTT\u2019s IOWN all-photonics network, which combines low power consumption, high quality, large capacity, and low latency transmission, will be used to connect major facilities such as pavilions and event facilities within the Yumeshima site, providing a demonstration environment that enables the sharing of various content and events within the Expo site and an immersive experience without feeling distant. The NTT Group will further evolve its telecommunication services with the experience and technological capabilities it has cultivated to date, and bring the experience of a future society to life at the Expo.<\/p>\n

\u30fbWireless LAN environment and roaming infrastructure \u3010Digital Expo\u3011
\n(Cisco Systems G.K.)
\nThe \u201cWireless LAN Environment and Roaming Infrastructure\u201d will provide a wireless LAN environment (Wi-Fi) compatible with the roaming infrastructure (OpenRoaming) that can be used at major facilities within the Expo site, using access points and controllers manufactured by Cisco Systems G.K. OpenRoaming is a system which provides safe and private guest access that is authenticated and encrypted, and once authenticated, Wi-Fi can be used seamlessly and safely even on different SSIDs. Cisco Systems G.K.\u2019s know-how and technology will be utilized to create a secure and convenient communication environment for visitors at the Expo.<\/p>\n

\u30fbEXPO VISION\u3010Digital Expo\u3011
\n(Advertising NAGATA Co., Ltd.)
\nAt the Expo, where the world\u2019s most advanced wisdom is gathered, we will connect messages from young creators who will lead the next generation and various innovations from Japan to the world through \u201cEXPO VISION\u201d. \u201cEXPO VISION\u201d has centripetal force and the power of communication. By looking to the future and providing a world-class venue for transmitting digital content culture, we aim to realize the entertainment of the future to trigger various insights, encounters, and innovations, which in turn will lead to the happiness of Expo participants around the world.<\/p>\n

\u30fbDAC\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth)
\nThis project is designed to capture and store atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is considered the largest cause of global warming, directly within the Expo site. Direct capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere allows carbon dioxide to be captured in the vicinity of the reservoir, regardless of the source of the carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, by storing carbon dioxide recovered from the atmosphere in the ground, negative emissions can be achieved, which is expected to make a significant contribution to the prevention of global warming. The DAC technology development to be implemented in this project is being carried out as a commissioned project of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) under the Moonshot R&D Program.
\n\u203bDirect Air Capture (DAC) is a technology for separating and capturing low concentrations of CO\u2082 in the air.<\/p>\n

\u30fbCO\u2082 recovery equipment\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(AIR WATER INC.)
\nThis is a demonstration project to recover carbon dioxide emitted from heat supply facilities installed in the Expo site and use the recovered carbon dioxide to produce dry ice, etc. Efficient separation and recovery of low-purity carbon dioxide, including combustion exhaust gas from general factories, is expected to promote the widespread use of carbon dioxide recovery and utilization, thereby making a significant contribution to the prevention of global warming. This project is subsidized by the Green Innovation Fund of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).<\/p>\n

\u30fbMethanation\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(Osaka Gas Co., Ltd.)
\nThis is a demonstration project to synthesize methane, the main component of city gas, from carbon dioxide in biogas derived from food waste generated at the Expo site, carbon dioxide collected by DACCS and CO2 recovery equipment at the Expo site, and hydrogen derived from renewable energy. Synthetic methane as a substitute for natural gas contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, and since existing infrastructure can be used without modification, it is expected to be implemented in society at an early date. This project will be implemented as a model building and demonstration project of the Ministry of the Environment for low-cost hydrogen supply utilizing the existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u30fbNext generation solar cells\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.)
\nThis is a demonstration project to install film-type perovskite solar cells, which are the next generation of solar cells, in the Expo site and utilize them as electricity for lighting in the area. Film-type perovskite solar cells are lightweight and flexible, and can be installed on low-load-bearing roofs, building exterior walls, curved surfaces, and other locations where conventional solar cells are difficult to install. This is expected to make a significant contribution to the expansion of renewable energy and the realization of carbon neutrality.<\/p>\n

\u30fbEnergy management systems\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(KINDEN CORPORATION, MUTRON,inc.)
\nThis is a demonstration project for energy management that achieves both comfort and energy conservation at each pavilion and other facilities in the Expo site by using data obtained from temperature, humidity, human flow, and various sensors in the Expo site, and controlling air conditioning by utilizing AI.<\/p>\n

\u30fbHydrogen Supply Chain Model\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(NTT Anode Energy Corporation, Panasonic Holdings Corporation)
\nHydrogen is expected to be used as a clean energy source in the future to realize a sustainable society. The NTT Pavilion will generate \u201cgreen hydrogen\u201d derived from renewable energy on-site [Create\/Store], and supply it to the Panasonic Group Pavilion via pipeline transportation using underground telecommunication pipelines [Carry]. Both pavilions will then use the electricity generated by pure hydrogen fuel cells based on this green hydrogen [Use]. With sponsorship from the NTT Group and Panasonic Group, we will promote the spread of renewable energy and contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society through the establishment of an on-site hydrogen supply chain at the Expo site.<\/p>\n

\u30fbForest of Tranquility (Provision of trees)\u3010Green Expo\u3011
\n(KURODA AFFORESTATION PROMOTION CORPORATION DONATION)
\nThe \u201cForest of Tranquility\u201d is planned for the central part of the Expo site, in contrast to the Expo site, where the latest technologies and cultural traditions from around the world are gathered and people from all over the world are filled with anticipation and bustle. This \u201cForest of Tranquility\u201d will be a space that embodies the theme of the Expo by welcoming \u201clife\u201d in the form of trees, plants and flowers. KURODA AFFORESTATION PROMOTION CORPORATION DONATION, which is engaged in greening projects in Osaka Prefecture and sympathizes with the concept of \u201cForest of Tranquility,\u201d will select trees that will become the symbol of the \u201cForest of Tranquility\u201d and sponsor tree planting at the site. In addition to providing a comfortable place for visitors to relax, it will be a symbolic space where nature and people coexist in harmony, presenting an environmentally conscious vision of the future.<\/p>\n
