A consortium of 55 companies, universities, and research institutes, including Kajima Corporation, Denka Company Limited, and Takenaka Corporation, has formed under the Green Innovation Fund Project* with the major goal of achieving a carbon-neutral society by 2050. The Consortium will continue to develop concrete to utilize carbon until 2030.
Specifically, we will promote the development of technologies to utilize CO₂ in concrete making, as well as the development of manufacturing systems aimed at cost reduction. In addition, we will develop methods to evaluate the quality control and CO₂ fixation of established technologies.

* The Green Innovation Fund Project is a 10-year initiative by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a national research and development agency, to support research and development, demonstration and social implementation in order to achieve the goal of “carbon neutrality by 2050”.
NEDO has created a 2 trillion yen fund to be used by companies and other organizations that share ambitious and specific goals with the public and private sectors, and that are committed to addressing these goals as management issues.
