What is PLASMA-X?
PLASMA-X is a device developed as part of climate change mitigation efforts, utilizing cold plasma technology. This technology enables the decomposition of carbon dioxide (CO2), which conventionally required high energy, to be achieved efficiently with low power.
Furthermore, it aims to make CO2 recycling possible. This device has the potential to bring about numerous technological innovations.
The State of Affairs

Reducing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is an urgent priority, and technology is essential to achieving this goal.
At COP29, countries set a goal to reduce greenhouse gasemissions by 43% from 2019 by 2030. This target is basedon scientific evidence indicating that this reduction isnecessary to limit the global average temperature rise towithin 1.5°C.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, the most urgent and critical challenge in mitigating climate change, is tackledhead-on with the latest research findings and technologicalinnovations. The key to achieving CO2 emission reductionslies in our ability to harness these advancements.Specific measures include expanding the adoption ofrenewable energy, improving energy efficiency, deployingcarbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, and promoting hydrogen energy.
Countries are advancing technological development to realize these initiatives, which requires substantialfunding and viable energy resources. Against this backdrop, the application of advanced cold plasma technology is attracting attention as a means to efficiently and economically decompose CO2 emissions.

The Future of Carbon Dioxide Recycling
with Cold Plasma Technology
PLASMA-X is a CO2 decomposition system based on cold plasma technology. Conventional methods require more energy to decompose CO2 under high temperature and pressure conditions.However, PLASMA-X uses cold plasma to achieve highly efficient decomposition with less energyconsumption. This technology has the potential to convert CO2 into valuable resources with muchlower energy consumption.
Advantages

Reducing Environmental Impact | Low-energy CO2 decomposition can minimize the environmental impact. |
Applications Across Multiple Fields | PLASMA-X can be applied in various fields, including the decomposition of industrial exhaust gases and the reduction of greenhouse gases in agriculture. |
Global Expectations for PLASMA-X
PLASMA-X was showcased at COP27 (the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United NationsFramework Convention on Climate Change), held from November 6 to November 18, 2022, in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. It received recognition from various countries as an innovative solution that combines reducing carbon dioxide emissions with effective resource utilization.
