B-DASH Project*

* Breakthrough by Dynamic Approach in Sewage High Technology Project

What is "B-DASH Project"?

The Breakthrough by Dynamic Approach in Sewage High Technology (B-DASH) Project has been conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to accelerate the research and development, and commercialization of new technologies to substantially reduce sewage service costs, create renewable energy and support Japanese enterprises' overseas water business expansion.

In the project, demonstration researchs have been conducted by private companies as government-commissioned researchs from National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management.
