What can we do now
for the future of our planet?
The carbon that the Earth has stored underground for millions of years is now
being released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide due to human activities.
The Earth is getting hotter and hotter—what kind of future awaits us?
What can we do now to ensure a happy and sustainable future?
RITE is conducting research to capture carbon dioxide emitted by human activities,
as if creating a new forest.

Exhibition Contents
We are engaged in research and development of technologies to separate, capture, and store CO₂ underground, CO₂ being considered the main cause of global warming. Additionally, we are developing technologies to directly capture CO₂ from the atmosphere.
At the RITE Negative Emission Demonstration Plant, you will experience the latest negative emission technologies, which are designed to reduce historical CO₂ emissions beyond achieving carbon neutrality. We also present various environmental technologies, such as CCS technology and CO₂ mineral fixation in asphalt pavement materials (developed by Maeda Road Construction Co., Ltd.), using interesting interactive videos and panel displays that make these complex technologies easy to understand.
DAC（Direct Air Capture）
DAC is a technology that removes CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, thereby reducing its concentration. It is gaining global attention as an innovative solution for mitigating global warming. At the Expo venue, you can see a live demonstration of a functioning DAC system.
CO₂ Storage Technology
This technology collects CO₂ that is inevitably emitted during human activities and stores it deep underground. As a crucial strategy for achieving carbon neutrality, demonstration projects are being conducted worldwide. Through videos and panels, we explain how this technology works, where the CO₂ is stored, and the details of the process.

Friendly Methods
The "RITE Future Forest" Guidance Hall has been constructed using the latest wooden architectural methods that are environmentally friendly.
The hall has been built using a large single CLT panel in an origami-like folded structure, representing a modern and sustainable architectural approach.
