Received the Minister of the Environment Award at the 7th Japan Open Innovation Prize
We are excited to announce that our joint project, "Demonstration Development of Recycling Technology for Woody Biomass Combustion Ash to Achieve Social Implementation of Ultra-Low Carbon Concrete," led by Professor Koji Takasu at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering, The University of Kitakyushu with Kyoto University, Nishimatsu Construction, Nippon Eirich and Hibikinada Energy Park LLC, has received the Minister of the Environment Award on February 5th.
The new material developed through industry-academia collaboration was highly evaluated for its contribution to CO2 emission reduction, the fact that the technology has been completed to the point where it is ready for social implementation, and the fact that the effect can be quantified and expected to spread in the future.
We would like to thank all of you for your cooperation over a long period of time.
