ダバオ市内で開催された第2回 ASEAN Science Diplomat Assemblyにおいて、フィリピン代表のマイケル・アンジェロ・プロメンティリャ博士は、石炭火力発電の際に発生する廃棄物をセメントの代用として利用できる「ジオポリマー」を開発したと発表した。廃棄物を再利用して生産されることから、廃棄物による環境汚染の心配も減る。
また、同開発はセメントを生産する際に大量のエネルギーを必要とする問題にも対応できると期待されており、同技術の実用化によって地球温暖化の原因ともなる二酸化炭素の排出量も減少させることができるとされている。
同氏は、石炭火力発電所の産物であるフライアッシュとセメント産業の二酸化炭素の両方を削減し、石炭灰の管理という将来的に起こるであろう問題を未然に防ぐことを目指していると述べた。
同技術は現時点において研究・開発段階にあり、1年後には実地実験、5年後には実用化を見込んでいる。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
