Outline of JCCP Regular Course TR-4-21

Managers involved in low-carbon technology in the technology development and planning departments will advance their understanding of the current state and future vision of Japan’s energy mix, and broadly learn about Japan’s own technology and the current state of its practical application toward the realization of carbon neutrality. 
In addition, through mutual discussions, the purpose is to grasp the direction of the future role of the oil industry in each country based on the current state of the energy mix of each country.
