Japan Enhanced Rock Weathering Technology Collaborative Innovation Partnership will hold its first seminar to introduce the current status of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) technologies and the activities of the consortium to business stakeholders and members of the public interested in GX (Green Transformation) initiatives. The seminar aims to promote broader understanding and adoption of ERW technologies while fostering awareness of the consortium’s work.
As the event will take place during the autumn season in Kyoto, when visitor demand is expected to be high, we are providing advance notice of the date and venue. Further details, including registration information, will be announced at a later date.
