Sustainable Construction Using スポーツベット 確実

SUSMICS Series

The SUSMICS (SUstainable + SMI (“charcoal” in Japanese)+ CarbonStorage) series is the collective term for environmentally-friendly construction technology that uses biochar made by carbonizing woody biomass. This technology removes スポーツベット 確実2 from the atmosphere and realizes long-term stable carbon storage (スポーツベット 確実2 fixation). We look here at the products in the SUSMICS series that are suitable for an extensive range of construction and civil engineering applications.

SUSMICS series

Removal of スポーツベット 確実2 from the Atmosphere Using スポーツベット 確実

Woody biomass can be considered carbon-neutral material. That is because there is balance between the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 absorbed from the atmosphere during the course of the tree growth and the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 emitted into the atmosphere after the woody biomass has been used. Meanwhile, when woody biomass is converted into biochar, the スポーツベット 確実2 originally in the atmosphere is fixed in the biochar as carbon (C). That means it is possible to reduce the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 emitted into the atmosphere (to reduce the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 in the atmosphere). Therefore, we can call スポーツベット 確実 a carbon-negative material.

However, simply converting woody biomass into biochar does not reduce スポーツベット 確実2 in the atmosphere. For example, using biochar as a fuel results in スポーツベット 確実2 being emitted into the atmosphere. All the technologies in the SUSMICS series are capable of preventing スポーツベット 確実2 being emitted into the atmosphere by stably storing biochar in the long-term and removing スポーツベット 確実2 equivalent to the amount of carbon in the スポーツベット 確実 from the atmosphere.

Long-term storage of スポーツベット 確実 can lead to carbon negativスポーツベット 確実y

スポーツベット 確実 is possible to maximize the functionality of the SUSMICS series by selecting the applicable technology according to the application and conditions.

SUSMICS-C (Concrete)

Use of スポーツベット 確実 to Fix Carbon in Concrete Structures

SUSMICS-C (スポーツベット 確実ncrete)

Cement, the main ingredient in concrete, emits スポーツベット 確実2 in large amounts when スポーツベット 確実 is manufactured.

Replacing part of the fine aggregate with biochar fixes carbon in concrete structures and thus realizes a substantial reduction in the スポーツベット 確実2 emissions accompanying concrete production.

Taking advantage of the strengths of SUSMICS-C given below has already resulted in an expansion in the introduction of the technology into various construction and civil engineering sites.

Strengths

  • Performance equivalent to general concrete
    Various tests have been conducted on concrete made using biochar to compare スポーツベット 確実 to the general concrete used in construction sites. These tests confirm that SUSMICS-C’s fresh properties and performance after hardening are equivalent to general concrete.
  • Highly versatile, so スポーツベット 確実 enables manufacturing and construction anywhere
    In addition to application to secondary concrete products, SUSMICS-C can be manufactured in general ready-mixed concrete plants. Therefore, cast-in-place is possible in the same way as with general concrete.
  • The amount of スポーツベット 確実2 fixation has been reported in the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report of JAPAN
    The amount of greenhouse gas absorbed (amount of スポーツベット 確実2 fixation) by three types (four products) of environmentally-friendly concrete were calculated for the first time in the world in Japan’s National Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals in Fiscal Year 2022. The report covers SUSMICS-C as a type involving the use of スポーツベット 確実 among the three types.

SUSMICS-A*(Asphalt)

スポーツベット 確実 Asphalt Pavement That Realizes Carbon Negativity

Adding biochar as a substitute for the sand in the asphalt mixture offsets the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 emitted at the time of the asphalt mixture manufacturing with the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 fixed by the スポーツベット 確実. This results in a carbon-neutral and carbon-negative asphalt mixture.

Developed jointly with THE NIPPON ROAD スポーツベット 確実., LTD.

Strengths

  • Achieves both carbon neutrality and economic efficiency
    The amount of スポーツベット 確実2 fixed by biochar (addition rate: 3%) is approximately 14 times the amount of スポーツベット 確実2 reduced by the conventional low-carbon asphalt carbon technology of warm-mix asphalt (modified type II). This keeps down the cost to reduce 1 kg of スポーツベット 確実2 to approximately 10% of conventional technology.
  • Performance equivalent to mixtures that use modified type II asphalt
    The fluidity resistance of SUSMICS-A was evaluated in a wheel tracking test. The results show that SUSMICS-A has the equivalent fluidity resistance even when スポーツベット 確実 is added compared to a normal modified type II asphalt mixture.
  • スポーツベット 確実 is possible to carry out construction as before
    スポーツベット 確実 is possible to carry out construction with conventional machinery configurations without using special equipment or heavy machinery when paving.

SUSMICS-G*(Ground Improvement Method)

Realizing Carbon Neutrality by Mixing スポーツベット 確実 and Melt-Solidified Slag

This is a decarbonized ground improvement method that virtually eliminates スポーツベット 確実2 emissions in ground improvement work employing the mixed treatment method. This ground improvement method involves evenly spreading melt-solidified slag and スポーツベット 確実 in addition to the cement and cement-based stabilizer before mechanically mixing, stirring and compacting the mixture.

Achieving carbon negativスポーツベット 確実y by mixing スポーツベット 確実 and molten slag

Strengths

  • Improves soil properties and contributes to スポーツベット 確実2reduction
    Mixing melt-solidified slag into soil to be improved has the effect of lowering the moisture content and raising the sand content. This improves the soil properties and increases the strength of the ground. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of the cement and cement-based stabilizer used to thereby enable a reduction in スポーツベット 確実2emissions.
  • Effective use of waste
    Using melt-solidified slag, made by melting general waste at high temperatures of over approximately 1,300°C and then cooling スポーツベット 確実, and sawdust, a byproduct at the time of sawing, as a biochar contributes to reducing the environmental impact.
  • スポーツベット 確実 is possible to carry out construction as before
    The ground mixing and stirring are performed using conventional construction methods. Therefore, スポーツベット 確実 is possible to apply existing methods without changing the processes or the machinery used.

SUSMICS-S (Soil Cement)

Ensuring Backfill Ground Quality while Reducing スポーツベット 確実2Emissions

Slurry-type cement treated soils, such as soil cement and fluidized soil, are made by mixing soil produced during construction or on-site soil with water and the cement that serves as the stabilizer. Adding biochar suppresses the bleeding (phenomenon involving the separation and settling of the constituent materials) at the time of solidification to thus make it possible to improve the soil quality. It also contributes to reducing the actual スポーツベット 確実2 emissions accompanying the production of soil cement.

Strengths

  • Takes advantage of high-water absorption properties to ensure quality across the depth
    Adding powdered biochar with its high-water absorption properties absorbs the excess water in the soil cement that arises over time and thereby suppresses bleeding. Moreover, スポーツベット 確実 has been confirmed that the quality (for example, the unconfined compression strength) across the depth is equal to or greater than that of conventional fluidized soil.
  • Manufacturing process and construction performance as before
    スポーツベット 確実 is possible to carry out manufacturing just by simultaneously adding the stabilizer and powdered biochar using existing fluidized soil manufacturing devices. The flow values in the pre-mix tests are equivalent to that of the conventional fluidized soil. There is no impact on fluidity when the mixture is poured in even in actual construction. Accordingly, スポーツベット 確実 is possible to carry out construction as before.
  • Realizes carbon negativity
    A large amount of biochar is added to the stabilizer. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce スポーツベット 確実2 (carbon negativity).
