As a net oil importer since 2004, Indonesia’s success in developing fuel economy and infrastructure for electric vehicles would be vital to ensuring energy security and decarbonization from the transport sector. Following the Presidential Regulation on the Acceleration Program for battery-based EV for Road Transportation in 2019, the Indonesian government provides incentives for the domestic production of EVs. However, as EV technology is relatively new for the domestic automotive industry in Indonesia, it needs to go through stages of development to achieve full readiness in society. This study analyses the key stakeholders’ perceptions of EV industries using the Japanese technology readiness assessment (J-TRA) to better understand the current readiness level of EVs in Indonesia. Primary data are collected through interviews with an EV start-up company, experts in the EV field, government officials in charge of the national EV projects, and EV end-users. Extensive literature related to success stories of EV adoption in other countries was conducted as the basis for this study. The results showed that key stakeholders agree that EV technology has reached a high readiness level in technology development. Most of the stakeholders voted that the readiness bottleneck is commercialization, safety, and integration parameters. Furthermore, an elaborate policy recommendation gathered from both literature reviews and interviews with related stakeholders is presented.

As the automotive industry shifts from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs), many countries are setting new strategies in their transportation sector. The Li-ion battery is currently the most common battery used in EVs due to its high energy density, durability, safety, and cost competitiveness. Nickel is predicted to be an essential component for the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NMC) as a cathode material of choice for EV applications. Indonesia, one of the world’s largest nickel ore suppliers, put an export ban on nickel ore effective from 2020. The bold movement was intended to initiate the domestic EV industry and encourage investors abroad to drive their manufacturing activities into the country. On the other hand, the global Li-ion battery manufacturers who imported nickel from Indonesia had to restrategize their businesses. This review discussed the chronological events leading to the ban and after the ban from the media, government regulations, and literature reviews. The authors of this study also conducted interviews and attended seminars with the national experts and key players in the battery and EV industry to gain their most pertinent insights. The SWOT analysis of the reviewed materials indicated that while the Indonesian battery industry is still new, it needs to diversify its research and development activities and collaborate internationally to optimize the utilization of its resources and meet the purchasing power of the domestic EV market. Finally, this study summarized six key factors to support Indonesia’s ambition to be a new regional hub for EVs. These factors are: (1) pricing, (2) technology, (3) policy, (4) investment, (5) infrastructure, and (6) compliance with sustainability standards.

In Japan, breakthroughs to improve the share of renewable energy in the energy mix have become an urgent issue. However, the problem could not be solved by simply adding more power plants for various technical reasons, such as the unsuitability of using renewable energy as baseloads due to its intermittency. Furthermore, establishing the required cooperative systems for regionally distributed power adjustment is also tricky. Based on these backgrounds, this paper constructs an operation plan that minimizes CO2 emissions by correcting the generation and load patterns of the renewable energy of solar power, utilizing power generation from waste as a substitute for baseload power, and estimating the power demand of each facility. The result shows that by adjusting the operation plans, the model can reduce CO2 emission by 20.95 and 8.30% in weeks with high and low solar power generation surpluses, respectively. Furthermore, these results show that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions in regions that have power sources with low CO2 emission coefficients by forecasting the amount of power generation and power load in the region and appropriately planning the operation in advance.

Japan’s declining population has caused changes in the amount and characteristics of municipal waste. In order to optimize waste incineration plants as a countermeasure to this problem, we analyzed the performance of the integration of the plants with the Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) system. In the integrated system, food waste and sewage sludge from waste incineration plants, sewage treatment plants, and industrial facilities were mixed and fermented to produce methane gas. In this study, we evaluated the environmental and economic performance of the integrated system in four case scenarios. The integrated system is located in Ichihara City in Chiba Pre-fecture, where the Keiyo Coastal Industrial Zone is located and where petroleum and chemical industries are concentrated. The MBT system in which the heat generated from the incineration of waste was transferred to the Keiyo Coastal Industrial Zone was found to be the best. This method could reduce CO2 emissions by 1341 t-CO2/Y, and the annual cost was the lowest at 1.60 billion yen/Y. However, the results of the sensitivity analysis of the food waste ratio and the piping distance suggested that it may be impossible to obtain appropriate evaluation results without considering the regional characteristics.

This paper presented an overview of local power producers and suppliers (local PPS) that were established in Japan since the general liberalization of the retail electricity market, with particular focus on the current situation and issues of the local PPSs in terms of their operations and their renewable energy-related efforts. Further, this paper analyzed relevant cases in Ishikari city in Hokkaido, Karatsu city in Saga prefecture, and Sakura city in Chiba prefecture, to discuss and inform future efforts towards realizing a Japanese version of Stadtwerke.

The Teshima Waste Disposal Project is a project to detoxify and recycle the wastes of the Teshima Incident, in which about 900,000 tons of industrial wastes including contaminated soil were illegally dumped in the western part of Teshima, Tonosho-cho, Kagawa Prefecture. Since the settlement of the pollution arbitration in 2000, the project was started with the idea of ”Co-creation” in which the local government and residents are involved as the main actors. In the progress of the project, we have built the local information platform to support the co-creation of residents and the local government by monitoring and sharing the progress of the project through visualization of quantitative data by 3D modeling. In this study, we introduce the specif-ic development specifications of the information visualization system as an example of the implementation of each function in the platform theory, with the aim of providing more practical support for the Teshima project.

In this study, we proposed improvements based on actual measured data of a hybrid heat supply system that uses solar heat and ground heat as the heat sources of a restaurants complex in Honjo city, Saitama, Japan. Our evaluation from the actual monitoring measurements showed that the solar heat collection efficiency was 50–60%. The geothermal Heat Pump’s Coefficient of Performance decreased significantly in the summer. We propose to set the heat insulation and burial depth of the piping from the ground heat collection to the heat pump and recommends five units of 5 units of solar heat collectors as the most ideal scenario.

We compared the readiness levels of Japan supported biomass energy conversion technology development projects in emerging Southeast Asia measured with two different methodologies; (1) levels as stated by the project fund provider, and (2) Technology Readiness Assessment (J-TRA) method. Results show that while the first method could tell the general idea about a technology development progress, the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of J-TRA is better at indicating the project bottlenecks.

In this paper, we attempt to calculate an estimate of the energy system demand in Thae Kone village, located in an off-grid area in Myanmar. Based on the results of the calculation, we introduce a renewable energy plan that is appropriately tailored to local needs. Furthermore, through a literature review on decentralized energy systems, the paper discusses their self-dependence from social acceptance and the perspective of clarifying their roles as operating entities. We conclude that a project model that is community-driven and closely partnered with private enterprises shows great potential as a vision for independent and decentralized energy systems in the future.

Although cooperation between waste incineration and sewage treatment facilities is an effective approach to improve the efficiency of waste treatment, there are few examples of cooperation between the two facilities. We conducted a questionnaire survey of local governments to understand the issues for cooperation between the two facilities. We confirmed that information exchange between waste and wastewater departments is infrequent, and it is essential to create an environment where the information they can easily obtain from each other. We visualized information on the processing scale of the two facilities using GIS and extracted the conditions under which we judged the possibility of collaboration to be high.

Energy conservation standards for detached houses in Japan are evaluated only based on skin performance and primary energy consumption at the time of design. So the effects of construction technology and the accuracy of adiabatic work have not yet been clarified. In this study, we quantitatively evaluate the effects of construction technology and accuracy of adiabatic construction by evaluating actual measurements of temperature and humidity and HEMS data from a model house and analyzing the heat balance simulation of a standard house model. The results show that the current standard and top-runner homes are heavily influenced by the construction technique and accuracy of adiabatic construction with more than 60% of the heat loss occurring during the defrost season.

Responding to goal No. 7 on the agenda, efforts to provide modern energy to all the world population must be pushed forward. This is important because electrification in the rural area can indirectly support opportunities for social and economic development resulting in an acceleration of the eradication of poverty. The research goal of this study is to contribute insights about the scale of energy demand in unelectrified villages in the Southeast Asian countries and to discuss some factors that might influence the energy demand growth. This is done by making projections based on surveys and interviews, including a time-use survey, in three off-grid villages located in Myanmar, Indonesia, and Laos. Our analysis presented the living condition, highlight the types of energy sources, how, and in what rhythms people use energy on a daily basis in those villages. The demands in each case study villages were then projected based on several constructed scenarios. It was found that the factors of household size, proximity to the city, climate, and topography may influence the present and future growth of energy demands in the villages. The estimated energy demand may be useful for project managers to design a pilot off-grid energy system project in a similar environment and pointed out important factors to consider when formulating off-grid energy policies in the region.

© 2020 by the authors Many agricultural waste residues are generated in Southeast Asia while some areas in the region still do not have electricity. This study explores the potential effective utilization of agricultural residues in Southeast Asia to generate power. Firstly, visualization of the potential for energy generation was completed using a geographic information system (GIS). Secondly, a comparison of effectiveness was completed between the torrefaction and hydrothermal treatment of low-grade agricultural residues as pretreatment techniques for the modification of agricultural residues. In this study, the feasibility of utilizing rice residues was analyzed (i.e., rice husks, which are produced in large quantities in Southeast Asia) to determine their suitability for pretreatment as feedstock for power plants. This was assessed experimentally by focusing on the pyrolytic characteristics of the husks and the rate of ash change both before and after treatment, while the subsequent implications on transportation costs were also noted. The results indicated that the percentage of ash in torrefied rice husks was 26.7%, whereas the percentages of ash in rice husks that were treated with water or an NaOH solution were 13.96% and 8.87%, respectively. The reduction in transportation costs after compression was 90.8% for hydrothermal treatment and 88.7% for torrefaction.

Forests cover two-thirds of Japan’s land area, and woody biomass is attracting attention as one of the most promising renewable energy sources in the country. The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Act came into effect in 2012, and since then, woody biomass power generation has spread rapidly. Gasification power generation, which can generate electricity on a relatively small scale, has attracted a lot of attention. However, the technical issues of this technology remain poorly defined. This paper aims to clarify the problems of woody biomass gasification power generation in Japan, specifically on the challenges of improving energy utilization rate, the problem of controlling the moisture content, and the different performance of power generation facilities that uses different tree species. We also describe the technological development of a 2 MW updraft reactor for gasification and bio-oil coproduction to improve the energy utilization rate. The lower heating value of bio-oil, which was obtained in the experiment, was found to be about 70% of A-fuel oil. Among the results, the importance of controlling the moisture content of wood chips is identified from the measurement evaluation of a 0.36 MW-scale downdraft gasifier’s actual operation. We discuss the effects of tree species variation and ash on gasification power generation based on the results of pyrolysis analysis, industry analysis for each tree species. These results indicate the necessity of building a system specifically suited to Japan’s climate and forestry industry to allow woody biomass gasification power generation to become widespread in Japan.

The COVID-19 crisis has had a great impact on Japanese society. The author is rapidly going online and trying to make the transition to a new way of life. This study discusses the topics before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. Then, smart approaches to waste management for post-COVID-19 smart cities in Japan are described by illustrating the results of the author's research group. Specifically, the author states that virtual reality can be an effective solution for remote education. The work chain management system contributes to the promotion of cashless in addition to the traceability of waste. The multi-benefits mobility system that supports self-driving will contribute to the automatic garbage collection by linking it to smart garbage bins. Besides, remote control of waste incineration facilities and robotic arms in waste treatment and recycling facilities will take on more importance. The author believes that the COVID-19 crisis could be an opportunity to accelerate smart city initiatives in Japan.

Nine years have passed since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, but it is still difficult for residents to return to their homes in some municipalities. In addition, it takes 30 to 40 years to deal with the accident, which requires long-term efforts and decision-making across generations. In order to construct such a project for the reconstruction of Fukushima, co-creation project management by multigenerational and diverse actors is necessary. In this research, we analyze project continuity from the viewpoint of P2M, with the aim of realizing social innovation, which is a long-term strategy, through initiatives such as Future Sessions at the Fukushima Study Group.

We evaluated the feasibility of waste-generated heat using a 100-kW digestion gas engine at the Karatsu City Water Purification Center by evaluating its disaster resilience through four indicators. We achieved the best outcome, i.e., a power generation rate of 1,122 kW and a power self-sufficiency rate of 22% when two or more digestion gas engines were installed to supply waste-generated heat to the absorption chiller/heater of a water-pool. Additionally, we evaluated the environmental and economic aspects of a Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) system installed in Karatsu City. The results suggested that by installing an MBT system, the annual cost could be reduced by ∼100 million Yen and the power generation capacity could be increased to 4,310 kW; this could also help reduce 19,000 tons of annual CO2 emissions with increased power generation. The environmental and economic feasibility assessment tool developed here is configurable; hence, applicable to other regions.

While in many emerging Asian countries more than 50% of municipal waste is organic waste, the amount of organic waste treated with biogas technology remains very limited. This study identified key challenges faced by practitioners in sustaining biogas plants from literature and interviewed a number of sustainably operating biogas plant managers and, based on the findings, developed an implementation framework to help decision makers and practitioners in planning a sustainable municipal organic waste biogas plant facility.

The Teshima case, one of the most important illegal industrial dumping incident in Japan, and the Teshima waste disposal project that restore environment by removing and detoxifying harmful substances, achieve establishing relationships between residents and local government with the keyword "co-creation". In this research, we set the holistic mission of the program to solve the Teshima case, verify the effectiveness of relationship management and platform management that were behind the Teshima case and the Teshima waste disposal project. In addition, we propose a method to support the co-creation platform required for the next project cycle by strengthening the value base of information system using ICT and virtual reality (VR).

In response to Japan's increase on coal dependence, co-firing of woody biomass in a coal power plant has been considered as the most feasible sustainable alternative. We propose torrefaction as an effective method to improve the quality of biomass fuel. To measure how much CO2 can be avoided by utilizing torrefied fuel, Life Cycle CO2 (LCCO2) of woody biomass co-firing in the Japanese coal power plant was conducted in this study. As a comparative analysis in the LCCO2, scenarios constructed included the use of woody biomass in the form of chip, pellet, and torrefied fuel. Due to the unavailability of large quantity domestic feedstocks in Japan, Indonesia was chosen as the origin of the imported woody biomass in the simulated scenarios. The results showed that significant CO2 reduction could be achieved especially in the co-firing that includes torrefied fuel. In the case where 30cal% of torrefied fuel or 5cal% of pellets were used for co-firing in a 50 MW capacity coal power plant, 95,000 t of CO2 could be avoided annually compared to using 100% coal.

Various efforts are being promoted towards building low-carbon society and sustainable society. In the environment and energy fields, it is important to realize not only technology and system development but also construction of social systems based on institutional design etc.. However, it can not be said that a methodology for forming a new social system is established. In this report, problems are presented on the deficient viewpoint, using resource recycling system, municipal waste disposal system, distributed energy system etc. as concrete examples. Looking to 2030 and 2050, the importance of technological development considering social acceptance is shown.

In this study, the measured evaluation of radiant conditioners that are considered conducive to the improvement of comfort and energy savings in civilian facilities is done. More specifically, in the mediumsmall space such as a home or small office and large-scale space such as a gymnasium, the evaluation in terms of comfort on the basis of PMV is calculated. In addition, by using fuel consumption, power consumption and the initial cost of each facility, we have performed energy-saving and economic effect. The results indicate quantitatively the effectiveness of the radiant during cooling operation of the large space as well as small and medium-sized space.

The purpose of this study is to develop the general-purpose assessment method for energy system which covers from demand sides to supply sides in consumer and business facilities. In this report, the energy saving simulation is shown for football stadium that has a characteristic energy consumption change compared with other facilities. The energy consumption problem from simulation is shown by getting thermal load daily data and event schedule for a year. From this, the high-cost operation of heat source equipment has become cleared as one of the typical problems. Then the methods for energy saving and economic efficiency by equipment replacement and changing heat source are shown using simulation and the best-available heat source formation is proposed.

This study is aimed to find out the most effective way of the information provision which makes more people to take actions for energy saving. The author examined the result of "Home-eco diagnosis" by analyzing the data collected by a questionnaire, and discuss the method for providing effectively the appropriate energy-saving information.

Thailand, with its abundant agricultural resources, is a well positioned to deploy biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. To enhance the self-dependence on the energy and economy in rural areas, the government has implemented the 'Alternative Energy Development Plan: AEDP 2012-2021', aiming to increase the amount of alternative and renewable energy utilization. To ensure the sustainability of the biodiesel production not only research on high efficient production technology improvement is need, but also studies on the impacts from promoting the non-food feedstock such as Jatropha. This study aims to evaluate environmental and social impacts of Jatropha-based biodiesel production by using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) concept. The scope of this study is defined as 'cradle-to-gate' which includesJatropha cultivation, harvesting, oil extraction and biodiesel production. Inventory data used in this study was developed byan on-site interview and consultation with Jatropha farmers and experts throughout the three provinces in the northern part of Thailand. The environmental impacts were analyzed by the modified LCA methodology called Environmental Load Point (ELP), formulated by the Nagata Laboratory of Waseda University. The weighting factor used in ELP developed by taking Thailand as a case study. The assessment of social impacts of Jatropha biodiesel systems referred to criteria indicated in the Global Bioenergy Partnership Sustainability Indicator for Bioenergy. The results show the environmental impacts of the Jatropha biodiesel production from a localized environmental viewpoint. The social impacts are focused on results of the change in income and job creation in the local community due to the establishment of biodiesel production system. These can be useful for the policy maker to promote the advantages of non-food biodiesel and enhance the cultivation areas and production plant to the rural in further. © 2014 Asian Institute of Technology.

This paper aims at evaluating the efficacy of LFS (Liquid Feeding System) which feeds shochu distillery byproduct as liquid feed in a pig farm from a perspective of CO2 emission. Specifically, by obtaining the survey data in the business (brewing manufacturer, pig farm) which adopted LFS in Kagoshima Prefecture, the comparison with the other processes such as the formation of dried feed mainly used in the feed-producing technique, was performed. As a result, it was found that the CO2 emission per pig was reduced 3% as compared with the case where the usual formula feed was used, and the CO2 emission per pig was reduced 18% as compared with the case where the same amount of shochu distillery by-product was made into dried feed. Furthermore, while confirmed that it has an economic advantage over the other processes of feed formation, it was objectively shown that this is a mechanism which is beneficial to both brewing manufacturers and pig farms. © 2013, The Resources Processing Society of Japan.

This report shows the development of 3D modeling method of Teshima waste disposal project using GPS. Teshima waste disposal project has been conducted since 2003 as a solution of the illegal industrial waste dumping occurred in Teshima-island, Kagawa Prefecture. To prevent illegal dumping and to accumulate data of this project, we measured the disposal area 4 times a year and made the 3D model of the area. We call this system a "Co-creation system". By comparing the 3D model change in time course, we can show stakeholders how the project has advanced. And by measuring the area changed between the two 3D models, we can calculate the amount of disposed garbage. With this system we promoted information sharing between stakeholders. © 2013 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Natural resource scarcity and the effects of environmental destruction have pushed societies to use and reuse resources more efficiently. Waste should no longer be seen as a burden but rather as another source of material such as energy fuel. This study analyzes the potential of three waste management scenarios that include the combination of four waste management technologies - incineration with energy recovery, composting, anaerobic digestion, and sanitary landfill gas collection - as ways to recover energy and material from municipal solid waste. The study applies the environmental load point (ELP) method and utilizes municipal waste characteristics and composition from India, Indonesia, and China as case studies. The ELP methodology employs integrated weighting in the quantification process to get a one-unit result. This study particularly uses analytic hierarchical process questionnaires to get the weighting value of the nine impact categories: energy depletion, global warming, ozone depletion, resource consumption, ecosystem influence, water pollution, waste disposal, air pollution, and acid rain. The results show that the scenario which includes composting organic waste and sanitary landfill with gas collection for energy recovery has medium environmental impact and the highest practicability. The optimum material and energy potential is from the Chinese case study in which 254 tonnes of compost fertilizer and 60 MWh of electricity is the estimated output for every 1,000 tonnes of waste treated. © 2012 Pandyaswargo et al.; licensee Springer.

This report shows the results of LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of the advanced stoker-type incineration system and sewage gas generation system. Both of them show the reduction of ELP (Environmental Load Point) and C0 2 emissions calculated by LCA. The case study is done to realize the effect of the establishment of the incineration plant attached to the sewage plant. By exchanging heat and fuel the attached system shows the good effect of CO 2 reduction compared with the non-attached case. Then the effectiveness of the cooperation of the some plants for constructing high-quality waste management system is shown. © 2012 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The aim of our study is to propose manufacturers and users should be building a sustainable society through quantification of the design for environment, DfE For a background problem of global warming and depletion of natural resources, it is required to reduce the environmental loads of the products and services life cycle. In recent years, the way of using products and services have been changed according to the development of ICT. For example, we can buy products on the internet without going to the store. Since a smaller personal computer is carried around all the time, the environmental load assessment for not only "a product" but also "a product with others" and "a product system" are needed. On this study, the environmental loads of "paper meeting" and "paperless meeting" using ICT as an example of product system are compared. © 2012 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The objective of this paper is to examine the waste gas emission of China in 2007. With input-output model, the total waste gas emission composed of the direct emission from the sector itself and indirect emission from the intermediate produced by other sectors was counted. A series of indicators, including direct and total waste gas emission intensity, waste gas emission multiplier and total waste gas discharge percentage of each sector were also studied. The results show Production and Distribution of Electric Power and Heat Power discharged most direct waste gas, while Household, Service and others discharging most indirect waste gas. As to the waste gas emission multiplier, Household, Service and others exert the largest influence to the whole system.

This paper explains the necessity of implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility by the octopus theory in the viewpoint of philosophy. Up to now, there are many definitions of corporate social responsibility. This paper analyzes and clarifies these definitions. In addition, many standards and guidelines about the Corporate Social Responsibility exist in the world. According to their content, author sorts these standards and guidelines so that they are well-known and easily adopted by enterprises. The corporations need to pay many social responsibilities for running better. But some of social responsibilities are primary and some are secondary. Therefore, by analyzing the Hierarchy Theories of Corporate Social Responsibility of others, author draw finally a hierarchy structure of the corporate social responsibility according to the different stockholders.

While global warming has become more deeply concerned, it is vital for Japan, which has world's top energy efficiency, to proactively adopt renewable energy in consumer category to shift from high dependency of fossil fuels. As for such approach, we have made comprehensive analysis and determination for usage of solar thermal energy. Although it is one of the most effective green technology to reduce GHG emission today, number of installation in Japan has been declining as well as its market shrinking causing withdrawal of manufacturer from the division. On the other hand, installation of such equipments in abroad has been growing which tightened competition resulting in improvements of cost performance and technology, and eventually price-reduction. Thus, we have completed verification test of foreign-made solar heat panels on behalf of Ministry of the Environment and examined its usage, economic impact and influence of installation in order to stimulate domestic market of solar heat panel. © 2011 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

In recent years, the exportation of resources such as iron, aluminum and copper scrap etc. including e-wastes, is increasing in Japan under the background of economic development in Asia, while exported resources sometimes are processed improperly in developing countries that breed environmental pollution. Therefore, an appropriate physical distribution management system with traceability for the resources is necessary. This paper attempts to build a model of International Resource Recycling System using Information Technology such as Global Position System (GPS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, etc. between Japan and China by means of an international accepted traceability system. We also did a demonstration test between Japan and China. As a result, it is confirmed that the traceability system (covered from emission, collection in Japan to processing and landfill facilities in China) is an effective mean to ensure appropriate process of transportation, processing and final disposal of the residue of each stage.

This research aims to develop the system that quantitatively evaluates the learning effect of the environmental study program by the aspect of transformation of the action. This evaluation system can identify quantity of reduction of the carbon dioxide by answering a question about the environmental consideration action. I performed environmental learning and evaluation for Kanamachi elementary school and Tomisatodaiichi elementary school with this evaluation system.

In Japan, illegal dumping of waste is a social problem, and proper disposal is required. In addition, there is a possibility of efficiency improvement in waste generation, collection and transportation and sorting processes. We will construct three systems to promote proper treatment of medical waste and improve the efficiency of collection work. 1. Traceability system by WCM, 2. AI automatic vehicle dispatch system, 3. Pick-up instruction system by one-touch button and weight sensor. The purpose is to conduct a demonstration experiment with the cooperation of clinics and collection and transportation companies in the I city area and propose a business model for social implementation. In addition, we will examine the possibility of expanding WCM to waste and recycled resources other than medical waste. For example, WCM can be expected to expand to the proof of origin of pruned branches in the FIT system. When using woody biomass as a fuel material, it is necessary to issue a certificate of origin. Introducing WCM with proof of origin will lead to improved work efficiency. In addition, WCM can be expected to be used for thinned wood and waste plastic.

In this paper, we examined the integration of power supply and demand and evaluated the CO2 reduction effect for a large-scale recycling center (hereinafter referred to as RC). Actual power measurement of each processing facility for the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide After evaluation and operation shift, it was shown that the CO2 reduction amount was 2590kg-CO2 / W in the week when surplus electricity was generated. In addition, the CO2 emission amount of RC was calculated by the annual coefficient method and the emission coefficient by time. It was shown that the error rate in November was 0.5% and the error rate in May was 18%, which differed depending on the season. Also, the CO2 reduction effect by utilizing RPF and trans heat container utilizing RC resources was shown. Evaluation was performed.

In this study, we investigate and propose the introduction of AI and IoT technologies for the upgrading of waste treatment systems through technology readiness assessment (TRA). First of all, in order to understand the examples of AI and IoT technologies currently used in waste treatment facilities, we organized information such as papers and constructed a database. Each technology was categorized by the process of waste incineration, and the contents of each were evaluated using TRL (Technology Readiness Level). As a result, it was found that most of the technologies used in MSW incineration plants had a high level of maturity, while many of the technologies used in the collection and transportation processes had only reached the level of demonstration tests and were not yet in widespread use. In addition, interviews with manufacturers revealed that even if manufacturers incorporate AI and IoT technologies, it is difficult for them to gain recognition for their efforts because local governments focus on results and efficiency.

This report focuses on the infectious waste discharged from small medical institutions and aims to build a system that utilizes the IoT to promote the appropriate treatment of medical waste by streamlining the small-lot collection operations. Specifically, a traceability system based on an activity record management system will be introduced, and a vehicle dispatching system using AI will be designed for future implementation. As the preliminary stage of system construction for the appropriate treatment of hazardous waste at medical institutions, we grasp of the actual situation of infectious waste discharge, collection, and transportation. This was done by conducting local interviews and questionnaire surveys in three collection and transportation companies and 260 small medical institutions located in the “I” city. In addition, we conducted a function verification test of the activity record system as a preparatory work for building a system using IoT.

With the autonomous driving technology advancements in the recent years, significant changes in the arterial industry has been expected. However, its application to the venous industry has not received much attention. On the other hand, the situation surrounding the venous industry is changing every day due to the labor shortage and aging problems. In response to this situation, we propose a "modular compact mobility" that has a module above its chassis. The module can be changed flexibly depending on the purpose and a prototype can be developed. In this report, based on the demonstration experiments at the Waseda Festival, we consider its use as a garbage collection solution for predicting future use at the next Osaka Expo. At the same time, we proposed and evaluated the utilization of mobility in various regions and considered its economic and environmental values.

In Southeast Asia, where the population and economy are growing rapidly, active efforts to utilize the biomass energy are taking place. In particular, there are high untapped energy potentials from the agricultural biomass and its residues. In order to promote effective development and use of biomass energy conversion technologies, it is essential to evaluate their level of readiness status objectively. In this study, we created a database of energy conversion technologies for agricultural biomass in international projects of the Japanese companies and organizations and evaluated them by using the TRA (Technology Maturity Assessment), GIS mapping and LCCO₂ methodologies. Specifically, we presented an evaluation case study focusing on Indonesia and proposed a dissemination strategy based on the evaluation.

Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all is the goal number 7 within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While most of the countries in the Southeast Asian region aim for universal electrification within 2020 to 2030, it is predicted that a couple of millions of the population will not have access to electricity by then due to various reasons. Among them are challenging geographical terrain and the low population density in rural areas. In this study, we analyzed the current situation of the population living in the off-grid area through field surveys, estimated their energy demand, and projected the future growth of energy demand. As case studies, we selected three communities in Myanmar, Indonesia, and Laos. Also, we proposed a strategy to appropriately introduce renewable energy in the communities based on our analysis and observation.

We conducted a survey about the feasibility of introducing MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment) systems for waste incineration facilities linked with sewage treatment facilities. We focused on this topic because the decline of Japan’s population has caused the need of expanding service area of waste treatment facilities and optimizing the efficiency of energy use. From the questionnaire surveys distributed, we received 64 responses from waste incineration facilities, mainly in cities designated by government ordinance, and 78 responses from sewage treatment facilities. Our analysis results showed that 4.7% (3 cases) of incinerators and 3.8% (3 cases) of sewage treatment facilities have the possibility of installing both incinerators and sewage treatment facilities, which is unprecedented in Japan. Municipalities with more frequent communication between departments tended to choose the same pattern we offered, suggesting the importance of inter-departmental cooperation.

In this study, we attempted to understand the actual condition of feedstock supply after the construction of FIT in Nara prefecture in order to improve the system for utilizing unused woody biomass in cooperation with the local community. Specifically, we visualized the amount of biomass available and road information by GIS and studied the ideal system for biomass utilization after the implementation of FIT. We also visualized the amount of transport per hour with road information, estimated the amount of chip distribution, and examined the inflow and outflow of wood. As a result, it was shown that the proposal of different utilization systems in the northern and southern part of Nara Prefecture was effective.

The purpose of this paper is to improve the energy density and quality of low-grade biomass by appropriate pretreatment, and to study the improvement of transportation efficiency and power generation efficiency. To solve the problem of clinker formation due to ash, we focus on the hydrothermal method as a technology for extracting ash from raw materials. In addition, through a Literature review, the pretreatment technologies that can be applied have been systematically organized, and proposals for effective utilization measures of low-grade biomass have been made. In order to understand the characteristics of agricultural biomass, the characteristics of rice husk and rice straw were analyzed by literature review and TG-DTA analysis. An experiment on hydrothermal treatment was conducted to reduce the ash content of agricultural biomass. In addition, the applicability of pretreatment technology for agricultural biomass in Southeast Asia and China has been evaluated.

The Teshima Waste Disposal Project is a project to detoxify and recycle the wastes of the Teshima Incident, in which about 900,000 tons of industrial wastes including contaminated soil were illegally dumped in the western part of Teshima, Tonosho-cho, Kagawa Prefecture. Since the settlement of the pollution arbitration in 2000, the project was started with the idea of "Co-creation" in which the administration and residents are involved as the main actors. In the progress of the project, the local information system has been constructed to support the residents' cooperation in the form of information as a material for monitoring and examining the progress of the project by visualizing the project by 3D modeling of quantitative data, etc. In this study, we analyze the positioning of local information systems in P2M, which enables joint creation of administration and residents by strengthening the value base of information systems.

Nine years have passed since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, but it is still difficult for residents to return to their homes in some municipalities. In addition, it takes 30 to 40 years to deal with the accident, which requires long-term efforts and decision-making across generations. In order to construct such a project for the reconstruction of Fukushima, co-creation project management by multigenerational and diverse actors is necessary. In this research, we analyze project continuity from the viewpoint of P2M, with the aim of realizing social innovation, which is a long-term strategy, through initiatives such as the Future Session at the Fukushima Study Group.

世界の経済の高速発展に伴い、自動車は急速に普及している。その一方、使用済み自動車（以下、「ELV」という）の処理は世界的な課題になっている。日本では、「使用済み自動車の再資源化等に関する法律」（以下、「自動車リサイクル法」に省略）が本格施行されて14年を経過し、ELVのリサイクル率が99％に達している。現在、自動車のリサイクルシステムの高度化を加速するために、リサイクルのコストの削減と高効率を求めている。本報では、日本の自動車リサイクル法の実績評価とアジア圏における中古車・リサイクル部品の市場動向及び各国の中古車輸市場の傾向の分析を行う。それに、人気のある中古のハイブリッド車の輸出状況を調査する。また、本研究を深化させるために、海外への中古車の流出状況から、中古車が流出している国にリサイクル部品を販売する対策を検討する。

We analyzed the temperature and humidity of the room and the measured data by HEMS for the high airtightness and high insulation ZEH model house located in Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture. A correlation was found between the maximum temperature and the air conditioning load, and it was found that the air conditioning load peaked when the hot summer day continued. Therefore, we conducted statistical analysis of air conditioning power consumption and meteorological conditions and considered the factors.

Data were collected and analyzed for business facilities that introduced a domestic renewable energy heat utilization system. The welfare facilities in Shisui Town have introduced a solar-heat / ground-heat hybrid system, and the annual COP was 0.65. It has been found that the COP is improved by about 40% by applying the improvement proposal. In addition, analysis of data from large-scale heat supply districts across the country showed that the average system COP and CO2 emissions were most efficient in the power-based business, and there was a correlation between COP and CO2 emissions.

In this paper, we measured a solar-thermal and ground-thermal hybrid energy system in Honjo city. In this system, hot water warmed by solar-thermal is used to back up the hot water supply. It is also used as a heat source for an adsorption refrigerator. From the ground-thermal heat pump, hot water and cool water are supplied to restaurants. Energy utilization factor in this energy supply system is as low as 0.5 in the summertime. In July 2018, there was a problem that air conditioning did not work under the influence of intense heat. We investigated the cause and found that the capacity of the heat pump has about 30 kW of power shortage. In order to improve the energy supply system, we investigated whether an adsorption type refrigerator is necessary and calculated the number of solar heat collectors required. Results showed that the adsorption refrigerator only lowered the ground temperature by about 1 to 2°C and the optimum number of collectors is seven.

We investigated a combined system of the garbage disposal facility and sewage treatment facility in Japan. We evaluated the environmental and economic efficiency for the facilities with waste disposal scale of 300t / D and 50t / D in six constructed scenarios. To get information about the details of construction and maintenance costs, we conducted a questionnaire survey with five plant manufacturers. From our analysis results, we found that in the facility scenario with a waste disposal scale of 300t / D, the installation of a combined waste treatment facility and a sewage treatment facility costs 2.28 billion yen annually and emits 15991t-CO2 / year. At the 50t / D facility scenario, the environment and the economic factors were traded-off. From the results of our sensitivity analysis, it was found that the annual CO2 emissions can be reduced by 12448t-CO2 / Y and the annual cost can be reduced by 150 million yen when the ratio setting of garbage is set to 15% to 45%.

For the purpose of developing a low cost bio-oil production process, we have investigated rapid pyrolysis of woody biomass by using an entrained flow reactor as the key device. The entrained flow reactor was selected because of the fine controllability of reaction temperature and residence time, which were the main factors affecting liquid products yield. In the bench-scale testing facility with entrained flow reactor, wood particles were rapidly pyrolized and the products were collected to analyze. The yield of bio-oil was higher than 50wt% compared with the fed biomass in dry weight. The obtained bio-oil formed two layers, which were hydrophilic layer containing condensed water and hydrophobic layer settled on the bottom. The moisture of hydrophilic layer should be removed and the products are expected to use as an alternative to heavy fuel oil.

Combustion tests were conducted in an actual incineration plant in order to evaluate the bio-oil as alternative kerosene. Large differences in combustion characteristics, such as exhaust gas compositions and temperature conditions, were not observed in these tests, so that the bio-oil is considered to be used as a kerosene alternative.

香川県豊島で起こった国内最大級の産業廃棄物不法投棄事件は現在，住民との間に調停が成立し，豊島廃棄物等処理事業が行われている．この豊島における廃棄物等不法投棄現場の処理事業は住民，行政，島外の支援者の「共創」の理念のもとで進められ，この理念からも事業の進捗状況を解りやすい情報として，関係者に示し共有することが重要である． 本研究では処分地の地形をGPS測量手法により調査し，それから求められる掘削体積量を知るとともに，各工程での処理相当量との整合性を検討し，事業の進捗状況を管理するツールとしての有用性を示す．あわせて，処分地の地形データの３Dモデルを活用し，処理対象物をすべて処理したあとの地形と現状との違いなどを簡便に表示するなどの情報公開手法について検討する．

豊島廃棄物等処理事業は「共創」の理念のもとで進められている．その中で豊島・直島の住民や関係者には，事業の監視の役割が求められている．一方，事業者である香川県では，適切な情報の公開や住民等からの意見の反映が必要とされる．こうした対応には，事業の進行に合わせた情報整理の方針と公開のルールが必要と考えられる。本報告では，特に毒性の強いダイオキシン類の管理に寄与する検討を行った．具体的には，平成16年秋の台風に伴う異常降雨により豊島処分地から管理基準を超えるダイオキシン類を含む雨水が処分地内の沈砂池への流入したことの汚染原因を，DXN同族体分布を用いたクラスター分析で検討，および処分地西海岸に打ち上げられるダイオキシン類を含む黒色物質に関しても同様の分析と顕微鏡観察やX線回折分析，蛍光X線分析を行い、これらが樹脂やゴムなどの工業製品の廃棄物の焼却残渣であることを特定した．

近年、循環型社会に対応した廃棄物処理体系の構築が必要とされている。一般廃棄物処理は，ごみの排出段階から収集輸送・処理・リサイクルまでの段階に分かれており，筆者らはこれまで各段階において評価手法を開発してきた．さらに，各段階の検討事項は相互に関連しているため，システム全体を考慮した評価が求められ，環境・経済的に優れたシステムの構築が必要となる．そこで，TLCA（Technology Life Cycle Assessment）とLCC(Life Cycle Costing)を考慮した包括的な評価方法CLCA(Comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment)の考え方を導入し，その中で最適なシステム（BAS：Best Available System）の提案手法について検討する．本研究では，そのBAS提案のためのツールとして，プラントメーカーや自治体から提供していただいたデータを基に，ユーザーの中心となる自治体が利用しやすい「一般廃棄物処理技術のBASソフトウェア」の開発を行った．

2005年1月1日より自動車リサイクル法が本格施行された。それに伴い、自動車メーカーなどは、シュレッダーダスト（ASR）、エアバッグ類、フロン類の引き取りを義務付けられており、引き取ったASR及びエアバッグ類については、再資源化すべき量に関する基準に従って再資源化する義務を負っている。そこで、ASR再資源化の実効状況を客観的に評価することを目的とし、各企業が公表するASR投入施設活用率を基に環境負荷評価手法であるELP（Environmental Load Point）を用いてLCA評価を行った。

飲料容器には、PETボトル、アルミ缶、スチール缶、紙パック、ビンなど様々な素材を用いた製品があり、また、ふたがある製品などその機能も多種多様である。このような製品を正当に比較評価するためには、環境負荷に加えて、製品の機能面や利便性等のプラスの側面を評価することが可能な定量的手法が必要であると考える。そこで、本研究では、消費者が求める本質的な要素を飲料容器の「効用」と定義し、その定量化手法に関する検討を行うこととする。なお、場面に応じて飲料容器の効用は異なると考え、「屋外」、「屋内」という2種類の効用を作成することとした。

近年、循環型社会構築に向けて重要な役割を担う廃棄物処理関連施設において、事故やトラブルの発生が頻繁に報告されている。そのため、廃棄物処理施設における安全・安心への関心が高まり、廃棄物の安全かつ適正な処理が求められている。本研究では廃棄物処理関連施設における事故やトラブルの未然防止、拡散防止、安全体制の構築などを体系的に実施し、施設設計や操業時の安全性および周辺住民への安心感醸成などを実現することを目指し、事故・トラブル事例/安全向上策データベースの構築とこれをベースとした安全設計解析手法の開発、施設運営等における操業管理システムの構築とバーチャルリアリティなどの新技術を駆使した効果的・効率的な施設運転者の教育に資する人材育成プログラムの開発、施設周辺住民等の「安心」を確保するためのわかりやすい情報共有・情報伝達の方法論の開発等に関して検討した。

近年、地球環境問題や安全・安心に対する関心が高まり、廃棄物の安全かつ適正な処理が求められている。しかし、一般廃棄物処理施設における事故多発が多方面から報告されており、既存の廃棄物処理システムは社会的な信頼を得るには至っていない。こうした背景から、廃棄物処理施設に内在するリスクを洗い出し、施設の設計段階で簡便に活用可能な安全設計解析手法の開発を行った。本手法は、利便性に配慮した事故・トラブル事例データベースを構築し、これと連携することによって被害額とその発生率からリスクを定量化する手法である。また、安全向上策と連携して評価を行うことで、経済性も考慮した安全設計の検討を行える手法を提案した。

近年、日本国内における廃棄物発生の増加とその質的変化によって、多くの自治体で処理方策の検討が進められている。とりわけ、焼却処理における溶融処理は、廃棄物の減量化による最終処分場の維持・管理および延命化に寄与するとともに、資源の循環的利用を促進するための有効な手段となる。溶融処理では、発生するスラグの再利用は多く検討がなされているが、同時に発生する溶融飛灰の取り扱いに関しては、そのほとんどが埋立処理されているのが現状である。溶融飛灰は高濃度に重金属を含有した廃棄物であると同時に有用資源でもあるため、適切な保管と輸送、再資源化が必要とされている。 そこで、本研究では既存の非鉄製錬の技術を応用した溶融飛灰の資源化処理および、溶融飛灰処理に伴う広域輸送の環境負荷評価を行うと伴に、経済性も含めた評価を行い既存の埋立処分と比較し実現可能性の検討を行う。

近年、様々な地球規模の環境問題が深刻化しており、わが国でも循環型経済社会への移行が望まれている。あらゆる場面で環境に配慮した生活が求められており、個人の環境活動への積極的な参加が必要であると考える。そこで、本研究では，自分達こそが消費者であり環境負荷低減の可能性を秘めているという意識を励起させることで、環境に配慮した行動を促進することを目的とし、工学的視点を導入した学童向けの実践的な環境学習プログラムの開発を行う。消費者の視点に立ち、より実効力のある行動を環境学習プログラムを通じて提案し、自ら考え行動していく姿勢を身につけることを目的とした。大学主催の小中学生向けの科学実験教室「ユニラブ」にて工学的視点を導入した５つの環境学習プログラムを実施した。そこから得られた知見をもとにより消費者教育向けに、「お菓子の包装」を題材とした環境学習プログラムの検討を行った。

In these years, as the correspondence of the global environmental problems like global warming, exhaustion of energy and so on, the construction of the environmental-friendly society is strongly required. For constructing such society, as concerns the industrial products not only the consideration to 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) at the design stage, but also the management, by the maker itself, of the energy saving at the using stage and proper treatment for the used products at the recycle and waste stage is demanded under the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). However, such a system that manages all the life cycle of the industrial products is not investigated enough. In this study, we attempted to construct such a synthetic environmental-friendly technology for production and operation of industrial machines, especially pump system, by using special 1C tag. We call this system, Environmental Information System. At the same time we developed the special 1C tag, which exchanged information between each life cycle stage, we investigate some other technologies for decreasing the environmental impact in each process.

In recent years, to construct the Sustainable Society, the importance of consideration in the design and the manufacturing phase to 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) increases in various Industrial products. Especially, concerning Reuse and Recycle, the improvement of the disassembly property of the products is an indispensable matter. Industrial machines are essential products for the manufacturing site such as factories. However, Industrial machines are late products on 3R consideration at the total Life Cycle Stage. In this research, we target the pump, the fan, and the compressor in Industrial machines. We disassembled them, and evaluated by using Disassembly Property Index, our own assessment method. As a result, it turned out industrial machines that the assignment of connection disassembly process was high. Based on the assessment, we proposed the design for disassembly on the General-purpose pump, and the Environment-friendly pump was developed.

The concept design of environmental-friendly production and operation / recycling system is proposed. To realize this system, it is necessary to broadcast the information effectively over internets such as the life cycle of industrial machines to consumers and the way of recovery / reproduction to producers. Especially, by storing a history in use of an 1C tag, the information, which is useful to the improvement in operation efficiency is extracted, and design data is offered. On the other hand, broadcasting the 3D-CAD data related to the flowchart of distraction is not only supportive to reproduction or maintenance, but also to analysis of the recycling effects. This system could be applied to processing of waste, and an accumulation result can be fed back to the design of the product.

In these recent years, environment-conscious type society is being requested. But on the other hand the industrial products are not necessarily operated wisely. It can be said that effective maintenance and the operation of the energy consumption type product, such as business equipment, are extremely effective, for instance as CO_2 measures. So, as a familiar example, we have researched about the effectiveness of the operating information management system intended for the vending machine, since its diffusion of the whole country is very high. Concretely, we have examined the operational condition of the cup type and the can vending machine set up in the Waseda University Ohkubo campus, and its energy-saving measures too. Driving matched from acquired data to the number of buyers of every time zone that the vending machine was able to be used, therefore power consumption during a day confirmed 17% or less had been reduced in the cup type vending machine, by 3% or less in the can vending machine.

The concept design of environmental-friendly production and operation / recycling system is proposed, which broadcasts effectively the information over the life cycle of industrial machines to consumers and recovery / reproduction producers. Especially, by storing a history in use in IC tag, the information, which is useful to the improvement in operation efficiency, is extracted, and design data is offered. This system could be applied processing of waste, and an accumulation result can be fed back to a design.
