本稿は、日本のセメント・コンクリート産業におけるカーボンニュートラルと循環経済への移行に向けた政府支援の研究開発の動向を概説する。1970年代の石油危機以降の資源・エネルギー効率化の歴史的背景を踏まえ、限られた国内資源という地質的条件の下での日本の取り組みを紹介する。各国の事情に合わせた研究開発の必要性を示唆する事例を提供している。
English
This paper reviews government-supported R&D trends toward carbon neutrality and a circular economy in Japan's cement and concrete industries. It incorporates historical context from the 1970s oil crisis, emphasizing resource and energy efficiency under Japan's unique geological conditions with limited domestic resources. The study presents Japan's experience as an illustrative case for how R&D must be tailored to national circumstances in the global challenge of carbon neutrality.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のコンクリート産業はCO2排出の主要産業であり、本稿は日本の2050年カーボンニュートラル目標や循環経済戦略に沿った研究開発の取り組みを整理している。SSBJやGXリーグ等の国内政策に資する知見を提供する。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a national case study on decarbonizing a hard-to-abate sector, relevant to global climate disclosure frameworks like ISSB and transition finance. Japan's historical emphasis on resource efficiency provides transferable lessons for other economies developing sector-specific decarbonization pathways.

📄 Abstract（原文）
At present, Japan—similar to many other countries—is undertaking government-supported research and development aimed at transitioning the cement and concrete sectors toward carbon neutrality and a circular economy. This study introduces the approaches adopted by Japan’s cement industry, which operates under unique geological conditions with limited domestic resources, as well as the initiatives pursued within the concrete sector. Because Japan has emphasized resource and energy efficiency since the oil crisis of the 1970s, background information on research and development originally conducted to reduce resource consumption during that period is also incorporated. Although carbon neutrality is a global challenge, each country faces distinct historical and contextual constraints, including geological and resource-related boundary conditions. Research and development efforts must therefore be tailored to national circumstances. In this respect, Japan’s experience is presented here as an illustrative case.
