Description

Japan is emerging as a potential leader in carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) — and is developing another next-generation decarbonization technology: CO2-absorbing concrete. In this episode of the ESG Currents podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Yasutake Homma speaks with Junichiro Miura, deputy director at Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, about the current status of CCUS and CO2-absorbing concrete, as well as their future prospects. Why are these technologies critical for achieving a decarbonized society yet still not widely adopted? What are Japan’s plans for international expansion, and what implications could these developments have for industry? This episode was recorded on Oct. 15.
