Efficiently cycling resources and CO₂, for a cleaner environment!

Based on environmental chemical engineering, our group is conducting research on resource circulation and decarbonization systems required for the establishment of a sustainable society, covering a wide range of resource production, utilization, recycling, and disposal. Specifically, our group is developing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies via mineral carbonation of alkaline materials (i.e., byproducts, waste, and minerals), investigating novel mineral materials and innovative electrodialysis techniques for effective water treatment, striving to develop final disposal methods for various waste, and accompanying environmentally hazardous substances. For mineral carbonation technology, our group is also working on establishing accounting methods for CO₂ emissions reduction.
