Japan's NGK Insulators develops technology for direct air capture of CO2

NGK Insulators is adapting its catalytic converter technology for direct air capture of CO2, aiming to significantly reduce costs and combat climate change. The company's patented honeycomb structure, coated with a CO2-binding material, offers a more efficient way to capture the greenhouse gas from ambient air compared to current methods. NGK plans to commercialize this technology by 2030, leveraging its global manufacturing capacity, as Japan seeks innovative solutions for its carbon neutrality goals.
