A modeling framework for comparative evaluation of municipal sludge treatment technologies
Effective implementation of municipal sludge treatment technologies requires systematic evaluation across environmental, economic, and technical dimensions under site-specific constraints. This study develops a modeling framework to compare alternative sludge treatment technology combinations at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). A total of 197 technology scenarios were generated by integrating bibliometric analysis with recent review…
From solid waste to circular value
A region‐specific environmental analysis of technology implementation of hydrogen energy in Japan based on life cycle assessment
Energy systems using renewables with adequate energy carriers are needed for sustainability. Before accelerating technology implementation for the transition to the new energy system, region‐specific implementation effects should be carefully examined as a system. In this study, we aim to analyze an energy system using hydrogen as an energy carrier with the approach of combining life cycle assessment and a regional energy simulation model. The mo…
Application of technology assessments to co-learning for regional transformation
Japan is faced with sustainability challenges such as resource security and depopulation. Well-coordinated, multifaceted actions including a shift from imported fossil to locally available renewable resources and empowering of rural areas are vital in tackling these challenges. Here, we present our co-learning approach to practice the multifaceted actions with a case study on Tanegashima, an isolated Japanese island. In these actions, thorough un…
Rethinking sustainable bioenergy development in Japan
A socio-technical analysis of consumer preferences about energy systems applying a simulation-based approach
Distributed Cogeneration of Power and Heat within an Energy Management Strategy for Mitigating Fossil Fuel Consumption
Distributed energy sources, such as self‐power generation, steam boilers, and combined heat and power production (CHP), are operated to manage the supply of energy by optimizing the costs of meeting the demand for electricity and heat. This article was written in conjunction with reports by the United Nations Environment Program's International Resource Panel that quantifies and compares the environmental and natural resource impacts and benefits…
Industrial Symbiosis Centered on a Regional Cogeneration Power Plant Utilizing Available Local Resources
Plant‐derived renewable resources have the potential to enable the simultaneous generation of high‐value‐added products, such as foods, with energy, such as electricity and thermal power. Much of the heat cogenerated from renewables in power plants has been discarded because of the geographical and temporal gaps in heat supply and demand. In this study, we aim to devise an effective industrial symbiosis (IS) for a regional combined heating and po…
Hierarchical Activity Model for Risk‐Based Decision Making
For the practical implementation of the assessment of environmental impact, actual procedures and data requirements should be clarified so that industrial decision makers understand them. Researchers should consider local risks related to processes and environmental impact throughout the life cycle of products simultaneously to supervise these adverse effects appropriately. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a useful tool for quantifying the potentia…
