Four menu items will be prepared including a smoothie made of vegetable and fruit produced in Hokkaido, collaboration with Osakan mix juice and also a cocktail of tomato with beer. At the stores in the EXPO site collaborative robots will work to make and serve the drinks, so that the future drinks can be made and served jointly by human being and robots.

Thirdly, Air Water will exhibit an own developed CO2 separation/recovery device to be exhibited in the connection with the show case business for future society.

Using the device, CO2 can be separated and recovered from the waste gas of combustion and dry ice can be produced and then reused as the raw material of the synthetic methane so that it may be utilized as the energy for the EXPO site. In the device a newly developed absorber of Na-Fe type is adopted. So, it can effectively separate and recover CO2 using the TSA system.
