Contributing to a sustainable society through research oriented towards “problem-solving” based on the concept of developing manufacturing methods with reduced environmental impact

Since its establishment in 2013, RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) has been a leader in creating a sustainable society through transdisciplinary integration of plant science, chemical biology, catalytic chemistry, and biomass engineering. Using as guides the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions, we are promoting six flagship projects.
