Japan: Sumitomo Osaka Cement is working on a three year CO2 mineralisation research project from 2020 to 2022 with Yamaguchi University, Kyushu University and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO). The initiative plans to develop the technology to build a process that captures CO2 exhaust from cement and power plants and then mineralises it with calcium-containing waste materials. It intends to use the process practically in 2030.
