本研究は、モンテカルロ法を用いた熱力学・拡散解析により、世界中のコンクリートの周囲環境での炭酸化によるCO2吸収量を評価した。その結果、2030年までに年間約0.23ギガトンの吸収が見込まれるが、これはセメント生産による排出量の10%未満であり、有意な削減効果はないと結論付けた。したがって、近い将来の産業脱炭素化と意図的な気候変動対策の重要性を強調している。
English
This study evaluates global ambient carbonation of concrete using thermodynamic and diffusion-based Monte Carlo analyses. It finds that by 2030, carbonation will uptake about 0.23 Gt CO2 annually, less than 10% of cement clinker emissions, concluding that it is a negligible mitigation. The authors stress prioritizing near-term industrial decarbonization and intentional climate solutions.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のセメント・コンクリート産業は、カーボンニュートラルに向けて炭酸化の活用を検討しているが、本研究成果はその限界を示し、より積極的な排出削減策(CCUSや代替材料など)の必要性を示唆する。日本の建設業界や政策立案者にとって、脱炭素化の優先順位を考える上で重要な知見となる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a rigorous quantitative assessment that challenges the viability of ambient carbonation as a meaningful CO2 mitigation strategy, informing global debates on cement decarbonization. It underscores the need for more aggressive measures like CCUS and alternative materials, relevant to ISSB/CSRD reporting and transition finance decisions in the construction sector.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a robust modeling framework and quantitative evidence that ambient carbonation is negligible, guiding future research on cement decarbonization.
🏢実務担当者:Informs cement and concrete companies that relying on ambient carbonation for carbon credits or sustainability claims is not viable; should focus on actual emission reductions.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights that policies promoting ambient carbonation as a mitigation strategy may be ineffective; should prioritize industrial decarbonization and CCUS.
📄 Abstract(原文)
Abstract Ambient carbonation—the passive uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide into the alkaline pore solution of concrete—has been proposed to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions from cement production. Herein, we apply thermodynamic and diffusion-based analyses within a Monte Carlo framework to evaluate the extent and rate of ambient carbonation across concrete formulations and geometries (i.e., described by their surface-to-volume ratio, ranging between 0.01-to-80, /m), globally. The analysis indicates that, by 2030, the carbonation of concrete placed in service, globally, under ambient conditions, is projected to uptake around 0.23 gigatonnes annually (i.e., <10% of annual cement clinker emissions). Thus, the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by ambient carbonation is negligible compared to the quantities emitted during cement production. Importantly, this analysis underscores the importance of prioritizing near-term industrial decarbonization and of advancing intentional climate change mitigation solutions that deliver meaningful and timely reductions in anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions.
