Japan: Taiheiyo Cement says it is progressing with its C4S project to develop a novel concrete imbued with CO2 from direct air capture (DAC). The project is a collaboration with the University of Tokyo, with support from the Japanese New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO). Taiheiyo Cement says that concrete developed by the partnership aids faster CO2 capture via DAC, increasing strength, confirmed seismic resistance and carbon neutrality per full life-cycle assessment.
Taiheiyo Cement says that the eventual certification of DAC-carbonated concrete will play a significant role in the decarbonisation of the Japanese construction sector.
