- Synopsis
- The Green Innovation Fund was established by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for the development of technologies to achieve the ambitious goal of realizing a carbon-neutral society by 2050. One of the Fund’s projects in the concrete and cement field is an initiative called “Development of Technology for Producing Concrete and Cement Using CO2” involving three companies that the authors are affiliated with as leading organizations, and approximately four years have passed since its adoption. This paper introduces the current status of development of various technologies under this project.
