Evaluation of forest resources using airborne laser
~ Towards better accurracy with less field work ~
Traditional forest inventory techniques require a lot of field work. Workarounds exist but at the expense of accuracy. Here, field work for forest inventory in Malawi (Photo: Asia Air Survey)
Instead, we are introducing an automated inventory technique that utilizes airborne laser scanning in order to improve accuracy and reduce field work.
Airborne laser is a technology for measuring the shape of the terrain, buildings, forests, etc. by mounting a laser scanner on a plane or helicopter. Asia Air Survey is developing a method to evaluate forest resources using this technology. Information on the color tone of the vegetation, canopy shape, and tree height is obtained by scanning forests from above. By repeating this every few years, it is possible to measure the growth of each individual tree and hence to calculate its carbon accumulation. Outside Japan, the carbon balance of forests is generally estimated by multiplying the variation of forest area by the unit carbon amount of each tree species or forest type, but by using laser data, more accurate carbon assessment can be achieved, which can result in higher quality credits.

Carbon Negative Concrete "CO²-SUICOM"
"CO²-SUICOM" is a technology that absorbs and permanently stores carbon dioxide during the hardening process of concrete.
CO²-SUICOM is a technology that can contribute to the reduction of CO² emissions of more than about 300 kg/m³ during the production of concrete.CO²-SUICOM can (1) drastically reduce CO² emissions during cement production by replacing more than half of the cement with special admixtures made from industrial waste or other raw materials with zero CO² emissions (reduction: approx. 200 kg/m³), and (2) a large amount of CO² is absorbed and fixed in the concrete by curing the concrte in a highly concentrated CO² environment (absorption amount: approx. 100 kg/m³). According to various research organizations (McKinsey, etc.), concrete absorption and fixation technology for minerals, including CO²-SUICOM, is expected to contribute to the reduction of billions of tons of CO² by 2030, which has the potential to exceed Japan's national emissions.
CO²-SUICOM is the world's first commercialized carbon negative concrete technology.
In Japan, it is already used for construction of highways and paved roads, etc., and we are now promoting commercialization overseas. In order to decarbonize our society, The Chugoku Electric Power Company, Kajima Corporation, Denka Corporation and Landes Corporation has developed the technology, and Mitsubishi Corporation is in charge of commercialization overseas.
A CO²-SUICOM concrete block can reduce CO² emissions equivalent to what a cedar tree can absorb in a year. This is a break thorugh technology for concrete which is one of the most consumed materials in the world.With the power of CO²-SUICOM we aim to realize a sustainalble society by decarbonizing the global infrastructure.

New Solar Cells to Boost Renewable Energy
Light, film-type perovskite solar cells and Cu₂O tandem solar cells with high power generation efficiency
Perovskite cells and tandem cells meet different needs in urban areas
If we are to achieve carbon neutrality, we need to deploy more, and more efficient, photovoltaic power generation. However, current silicon (Si) solar cells are heavy and inflexible, which restricts where they can be installed, and there are limits to how far they can be improved. Two solar cells that Toshiba Group is developing will change this. Film-type perovskite solar cells are light, thin and flexible, and can be installed in buildings and locations inaccessible or unsuitable for Si cells. The Cu₂O tandem solar cell places a transparent copper oxide (Cu₂O) solar cell over a Si solar cell, boosting generation efficiency and producing much more power by area.
