Origin of Green Recovery

Against the backdrop of the economic devastation caused by the new coronavirus, the term green recovery has become the topic here and there. 　 According to Wikipedia, Green Recovery is one of the after-corona policies that seeks to address environmental issues such as the decarbonized society as it seeks to revive the global economy, which has been chilled by the outbreak of the New Coronavirus infection. It was originally advocated mainly in Europe, where environmental awareness was high, and it is sometimes described as the “Green New Deal” in imaging to the New Deal policy, which led the recovery from the Great Depression.
If I unravel the “the Green New Deal policy”, that is the word combined the economic reconstruction policy “New Deal” advocated by US President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s when the Great Depression broke out and “Green” which represents the environment & greenery. 
After passing a long, long time, this policy was taken over by the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, and he strongly promoted investment to improve energy efficiency for the government and doubling alternative energy sources such as wind power and solar power. I think that is new to our memory.
In another way to think of it;  “the Green Recovery” that originated from “the Green New Deal” was maybe becoming only the tendency to be satisfied with feelings, aside from the actual actions, by speaking aloud for “green recovery” when you fall into some situation that shakes the world.

The one process that contributes to a green recovery

However, as the global climate is getting worse and worse, I shall say that it is time for people all over the world to take voluntary action for green recovery.
 Japan has been working to prevent environmental pollution for some time. And in particular, the announcement of “Green Economic and Social Transformation”, the Japanese version of the Green New Deal in 2009 by the Ministry of the Environment brought the trigger.  It can be said that that announcement spurred efforts such as popularizing energy-saving home appliances, promote measures against climate change, encourage recycling, and protect the air and water environment, etc.
 Under these circumstances, we hope that the CO2 removal and disposing technology we have developed will be just one tool for green recovery. Especially, we could state that this environmental restoration is “process” that breaks the vicious cycle of inducing new environmental pollution because it does not require an additional power source to separate and process CO2.
 This process will be applied to the removal and dispose of high-concentration CO2 contained in natural gas. Then after that, we are prearranging this technology to apply for the removal and dispose of CO2 emitted from coal-fired power plants and production plants.
