Special issue on:
[Advanced concrete technology for circular economy]
“CO2 Valorization, Sequestration, and Utilization by Cement-based Materials”
Editors:
Prof. Ryoma Kitagaki, Prof. Yuya Suda, Prof. Atsushi Teramoto, Prof. Go Igarashi, Dr. Takeshi Yamamoto,
Dr. Takeshi Torichigai, Dr. Eiji Owaki, Dr. Hikotsugu Hyodo, and Mr. Taiichiro Mori
The cement and concrete industry is turning to carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies to address climate change. In Japan, the Japan Concrete Institute published the "Concrete sustainability declaration" in 2012 and has been leading research on various measures to reduce CO2 emissions in the concrete sector in Japan. In the cabinet decision on 18th June 2021, the action plan for the growth strategy was presented. This plan lists the development of CO2-fixing concretes and other related technologies for the concrete sector, and many national projects are in progress. The Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology is intended to be a showcase for information from Japan and a forum where relevant advanced and latest information from inside/outside Japan can be presented and discussed.
All papers accepted by the end of 2025 will be published in this special issue.
This special issue of JACT is intended to be peer-reviewed even more quickly than usual. We encourage you to submit your papers for prompt review.
We really appreciate your kind contribution to publishing your excellent research works in this special issue of JACT to promote international academic discussion on the development.
Please use the template, and state that the submission is for the above special issue in the manuscript notes when you submit it.
