Development of an Energy-Saving CO 2 Capture System for Small- and Medium-Scale Emission Sources

Nippon Sanso Corporation and Tottori University’s joint research project, Development of an Energy-Saving CO₂ Capture System for Small- and Medium-Scale Emission Sources, has been adopted under the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Program to Develop and Promote the Commercialization of Energy Conservation Technologies to Realize a Decarbonized Society. The research is developing innovative capture technology to efficiently recover and concentrate CO₂ emitted from sources such as lime kilns and boiler exhaust gas. By combining the two organizations’ expertise to commercialize a high-performance CO₂ adsorbent and capture process, the project supports the wider adoption of CCUS and contributes to the realization of a decarbonized society and the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050.
