On the 20th, Research Institute of Innovative Earth Technology (RITE, President Kenji Yamaji), Maeda Sugar and Sumitomo Osaka Cement announced that they will test technology to fix and absorb emitted carbon dioxide (CO2). coming out of factories and other places. source of road base materials, notification has begun. If this technology is put into practical use, 5 to 15 kg of CO2 can be processed into one ton of road base material in about an hour.
Road base materials are becoming increasingly popular as social infrastructure, considered promising sites for CO2 fixation and absorption. RITE has conducted fundamental research on the fixation of CO2 as carbonate minerals in various aggregates and recycled road base materials.
