O.C.O Technology and Kobelco Eco-Solutions: Pioneering Sustainability at EXPO 2025 OSAKA, KANSAI, JAPAN
O.C.O Technology is proud to celebrate its long-standing collaboration with Kobelco Eco-Solutions, a partnership that continues to drive innovation in sustainable materials and carbon reduction technologies. This collaboration has reached a remarkable milestone with the adoption of Carbonel™ materials for the signature pavilion ” LIVE EARTH JOURNEY” at the EXPO 2025 OSAKA, KANSAI, JAPAN.
Carbonel™ technology, exemplifies cutting-edge advancements in carbon mineralization. By utilizing industrial by-products such as fly ash and slag, Carbonel™ immobilizes CO₂ as stable calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). This process not only reduces CO₂ emissions but also transforms waste into valuable resources, aligning perfectly with Kobelco Eco-Solutions and O.C.O Technology’s mission of sustainability and innovation.
The “LIVE EARTH JOURNEY” pavilion showcases the potential of Carbonel™ materials in Hybrid Prestressed Concrete panels (HPC®). These panels, manufactured by Kooge Concrete Co., Ltd., are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, thanks to the use of carbon fibre instead of traditional steel reinforcement. Approximately 100 HPC® panels were produced using Carbonel™ materials, demonstrating the technology’s versatility and environmental benefits.
The collaboration between O.C.O Technology and Kobelco-Eco Solutions underscores a shared commitment to resource recycling and CO₂ reduction. By integrating Carbonel™ equipment unit into biomass power plants, the partnership aims to further enhance the effective use of waste and contribute to global sustainability efforts.
