Topy Industries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Nobuhiko Takamatsu, hereinafter "Topy Industries") participated in one of a green innovation fund project, the "Development of Carbon Pool Concrete with Advanced Use of CO2 and Its Implementation in Pavements and Structures" project (hereafter referred to as the project) by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in FY2021 which was adopted in the "Development of technology for manufacturing concrete, etc. using CO2"*. In addition, we would like to inform you that a dedicated website for the project has been opened today.


1. About the project
The CARBON POOL concrete developed in the project is a concrete that can fix CO2 generated in the cement firing process, etc., into industrial waste derived from concrete. Furthermore, by maximizing and speeding up the absorption of CO2 using new technology, we will be able to fix more than 310 kg-CO2/m3 of CO2, which is more than the CO2 generated in cement burning processes, etc., and achieve carbon negative. Through the development and social implementation of this CARBON POOL concrete, the project aims to achieve a reduction effect of more than 2 million t-CO2 per year around 2040, contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society.

In the project, Topy Industries will be in charge of the development of "steel bars that does not deteriorate due to progress of rust" used in CARBON POOL concrete.

The Topy Industries Group will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through various initiatives such as the reduction of CO2 emissions and the development of environmentally friendly products, and aim to improve corporate value.

 

2. About the website dedicated to the project
The dedicated website that introduces the details of the project opens with a concept movie of the project, expressing the determination of participating organizations to work together to make the project a success and contribute to a decarbonized society. Project overview materials (Japanese and English) are also available on the site. Stay tuned for regular updates on the progress of the project.
