Japan, TSMC to conduct chip project
AFP, TOKYO
Japan has signed off on a ￥37 billion (US$338 million) semiconductor research project to develop cutting-edge chip technology in the country with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電).
Taiwan’s chipmaking plants are among the largest and most advanced in the world, and the project is intended to boost Japan’s competitiveness in a key sector.
The move comes as the industry grapples with a global semiconductor shortage that has hampered the manufacturing of numerous products, particularly vehicles.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced today that it is working on developing a world-class facility for the production of “blue” ammonia as part of “promotion”, the new integrated industrial system in the Ruwais complex.
Through this facility, which is in the design phase and will have a production capacity of 1000 kilotons per year, ADNOC is working to strengthen its leadership in the emerging market for hydrogen, and through this project, it continues to contribute to the UAE’s efforts to create local and international value chains for hydrogen and contribute at the same time. In the process of development and economic diversification in the state.
The International Energy Agency outlined the path to net zero emissions this week, but some Asian countries and companies have backed down.
Asian energy officials objected to the call from the International Energy Agency (IEA) on Wednesday, believing that there is no new oil, natural gas and coal investment in the world until 2050 to achieve zero carbon net emissions, and that this approach is too narrow.
The International Energy Agency (IEA), which has previously advocated for the oil and gas industry, outlined this week the road to net zero emissions. The proposal recommends stopping new investment in oil, natural gas and coal supplies and phasing out fuel in developed economies by 2030. Coal power plants, and prohibit the sale of more new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035.
