The first Japanese centre to join the network, RITE was established in July 1990 as a center of excellence which would work internationally toward implementing Japan’s “New Earth 21” plan, a 100-year strategy to clean up the natural environment and address serious issues of global warming.
Headed up by Yoichi Kaya, RITE has over 160 employees and regularly carries out R&D activities, particularly for the mitigation of global warming, including R&D on carbon dioxide capture and storage, biorefinery technologies and scenario studies on the paths for mitigating global warming.
