From FY2019, the existing technical field will be changed to new technical fields (6 fields).
By expanding the scope of technology, environmental technology that could not be verified in the conventional technology field will also be verified in new technology fields.
What is the area? The Ministry of the Environment determines the technology areas to be verified based on technological trends, market demands, social needs, etc. (currently the above 6 areas) from the advanced environmental technologies that are already in practical use but have not become widespread due to the lack of objective evaluation of environmental conservation effects, etc.
What is a classification? The Ministry of the Environment determines the technology areas to be verified based on technological trends, market demands, social needs, etc. (currently the above 6 areas) from the advanced environmental technologies that are already in practical use but have not become widespread due to the lack of objective evaluation of environmental conservation effects, etc.
Technologies that do not belong to existing verification technology categories are organized by similar technologies. If the Ministry of the Environment determines that it is necessary to set a new verification technology category, the Ministry of the Environment will set a new verification technology category.

Although it will be a new technical field from FY2019, details related to the existing technical field (until FY2018) can be confirmed from the following.
A list of technical fields that have been verified in the past and those that have been suspended
It will be a new technology field from FY2019.
