Circular Engineering for Sustainable Resource Use
The goal of this research group is to help establish a more sustainable society by developing technologies and systems to ensure thoroughly efficient resource utilization, including water, air, and other environmental resources, as well as food, and energy, including both hardware (e.g., equipment, materials) and “software” (e.g., social system design, evaluation methods). Our principal research themes are: “resource recycling” through the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and in various other ways, including repair/renovation and recovery; challenge of “decarbonization,” by establishing systems that use up energy, both from a supply and demand approach; and “coexistence” through industries and lifestyles that are in harmony with nature, to support the basis of human existence. By organically linking these research themes, we are pursuing a variety of engineering research initiatives focused on shaping a genuinely sustainable and intelligent society.
