According to the "Japan Economic News" report, Japan and the United States will jointly develop technologies to reuse carbon dioxide emitted from coal-fired power stations as raw materials for building materials. In the context of accelerating “getting rid of coal†in places such as Europe, Japan and the United States are stepping up the commercialization of reuse technology to respond to the Paris Agreement and reduce the burden on the environment.
Japan Coal Energy Center (JCOAL) and Wyoming, Columbia University and other institutions in the United States plan to cooperate and have signed a memorandum. All parties will finalize specific cooperation issues and formally launch research activities as early as 2020. Wyoming has many coal industries in the United States, and the two parties will conduct empirical tests at a coal-fired power station with an output of 400,000 kilowatts in the state. The study mixed carbon dioxide with coal ash and waste containing calcium into calcium carbonate that can be used as concrete and road materials. The technology has been realized by the test equipment of Columbia University in the United States, and relevant institutions in Japan and the United States will use this test equipment to explore commercial mass production. The Japanese government and the US state government will likely provide financial support.
The background of the cooperation between Japan and the United States is that the “emancipation of coal†movement centered on Europe has warmed up. With the entry into force of the Paris Agreement, global awareness of greenhouse gas reduction has been increasing. Coal-fired coal-fired power generation, which emits carbon dioxide, has encountered strong headwinds, financing by financial institutions has been restricted, and investor withdrawals have also increased.
Japan's coal power generation is indispensable when the nuclear power plant restarts, and Japan plans to continue to use coal while strengthening the "downstream" technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to respond to the Paris Agreement. Coal-fired power generation in the United States accounts for more than 30% of the electricity mix, and it will take a long time to "get rid of coal." From a global perspective, the demand for coal-fired power generation is still very strong. If Japan and the United States successfully develop commercial carbon dioxide reuse technology, it is expected to export technology and equipment to other countries in the future.
