About the Event
Industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, but the journey toward defossilization — eliminating dependence on fossil fuel feedstocks— is just as critical. The shift toward electrification and sustainable alternatives is transforming value chains, driving the search for innovative feedstocks for fuels, chemicals, and materials.
Join us at the Lux Forum Tokyo to explore the cutting-edge technologies and key drivers for the transition away from fossil-based inputs. This event will equip industry leaders with essential frameworks to make strategic decisions today, ensuring agility and resilience in meeting the growing demand for sustainable products while defossilizing their value chains.
Leveraging Lux Research’s Decarbonization Radar, this forum will serve as a comprehensive guide for roadmapping and decision-making around technologies aimed at decarbonizing and defossilizing industries.
Attendees will gain:
- Insightful Analysis: A deep dive into the opportunities and risks of moving away from fossil-based inputs, with a focus on the dynamic Asia-Pacific region.
- Actionable Case Studies: Learn from real-world examples of successful and unsuccessful strategies in defossilizing raw materials and operations.
- Practical Tools: Hands-on guidance on using the Decarbonization Radar to develop robust technology roadmaps for a sustainable future

The Future of Carbon — and What Innovation Leaders Should Do About It As the energy transition unfolds, the supply of fossil-based raw material inputs will dwindle — but the world will still need carbon to make chemicals, plastics, and other physical goods. Where will it all come from? Defossilization is driving strategies in renewable raw material inputs like biomass, captured CO2, and recycled plastics to transform industry inputs. Companies fear that if they scale renewable routes too early, they will be at a disadvantage. However, acting too late could leave them behind peers who develop supply chains better fit to the future landscape. How should companies make their bets on the future of chemicals production? If the raw material inputs change, will the product outputs change as well? And when should companies engage with emerging solutions? This presentation will address these questions and provide guidepost for making decisions about a defossilized future. |

Picking the Right Path to Decarbonize: The Lux Decarbonization Radar To meet upcoming decarbonization targets, companies must identify technologies that can help them decarbonize in the near term while continuing to invest in options that have longer-term potential. Leaders need to evaluate not only emissions reduction potential but assess the challenges of deploying and integrating new technologies into existing large-scale industrial facilities. This session presents the Lux Decarbonization Radar — a framework that categorizes decarbonization technologies based on their adaptability to existing industrial processes. It then applies the framework to decarbonization strategies for chemicals production and highlights implications for defossilization. |
