Shimizu Corporation and Hokkaido University have developed an applicator designed to enhance carbon dioxide (CO₂) absorption by simply applying it to the surface of existing concrete structures.

This innovation, which transforms concrete structures into forest-like ‘CO₂ absorbers’, is known as Direct Air Capture (DAC) coating. It even controls corrosion of the rebar (reinforcement bar) inside the concrete, helping to prolong the lifespan of the reinforced concrete.

Osaka-Kansai-Japan Expo 2025, slated to kick off in 2025, is planning to use the applicator for its pavilion.
