ESCO and the resource company business 1999.05.15

In the Environmental business field, energy conservation and resource-related business are likely to stand up. In the energy saving business, various technologies, products, and services related to energy saving and power saving are born to promote the rationalization of the use of energies. In Europe and the United States, it is called the Energy Service Company (ESCO) business, and it is in full swing as a business to provide the facilities, technology, manpower, and funds to enable energy saving and power saving for existing construction and factories.

In the Japan, it is commercialized for the enterprise, and energy saving and the power saving equipment are becoming popular gradually in the general process. The resource Service company business related to the resource saving if you want there is a business that such a ESCO business leads to energy saving, and it is not amusing to be commercialized in earnest. It is a support business that re-emphasizes production-oriented social structures and is a "resource saving" type. For each company and local government, we have developed a small amount of high-value-added products, the development of recycled resource-based product, the resource procurement of products, and the consulting of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for all production, distribution, consumption and disposal. It can be said that this is a comprehensive project to promote resource saving such as introduction of recycling technology and clustering of wastes.

This business is in full swing to promote resource saving and recycling technology. Japan imports vast amounts of natural resources from overseas and exports them to foreign countries as processed goods. Therefore, it is discharged to a large amount of waste and domestic. 2.2 billion tonnes of resources flowed in 1996. Of these, 1.29 billion tons are discharged after becoming new stock, such as civil engineering buildings, but only 230 million tons of recycled materials are used. Less than 900 million tonnes of waste are required, and the industrial wastes, 50 million tons, are general waste. The resource company business inevitably comes into view in the drastic improvement of the resource problem.

Countermeasures against Freon gas are delayed ③

Expand business opportunities related to CFC countermeasures Prof. Hideaki Nakane of Kochi University of Technology (environmental science) is important not only to strengthen the application of penalties, but also to develop CFC-less greenhouse effect and use of alternative substances. Although it is not a frontal penalty, the development of substitutes for each company is progressing. The development of refrigerant, foaming agents, and detergents using a completely different type of material is also underway. For example, a large commercial refrigerator for ammonia and refrigerant is considered the use of old-fashioned ammonia, there is toxicity and flammable ammonia, there is a problem in the use of household refrigerators, Instead, hydrocarbons such as propane and butane have been researched and developed. Hydrocarbon. It seems that there is no problem because the amount of filling is small in the refrigerator for the home though it is flammable. In Europe, household refrigerators that use hydrocarbons are quite popular. Japan manufacturers have started production and sales since 2002. The introduction of hydrocarbons into air conditioners is also under research and development. Sales have been started in the Germany. Although non-flammable carbon dioxide is an ideal refrigerant, there is a drawback that there is no refrigerant effect in the environment with high outside temperature. However, the research and development to use it for the car air conditioner advances. On the other hand, the MH refrigeration system which uses the property "The heat is discharged when the hydrogen is absorbed and the hydrogen is emitted, and absorbs the heat" of the hydrogen adsorption alloy of the refrigeration system which does not use the refrigerant is one of the attempts. In addition, the electronic device is systemized. A system that utilizes the Peltier effect of "heat transfer from one metal to the other metal when electricity is passed to the junction of two metals", the cooling of the processor of the computer and the small refrigerator of the hotel and the hospital because it is quiet It is already used for the refrigerator of the wine only. Hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide for the foaming agent, the conversion to water has been partially practical, for the propellant is converted to hydrocarbons (liquefied natural gas: LPG) except for special applications. Water or the like is used for the cleaning agent. Environmental business is a mission to improve the environmental impact of "century in the Environment" in the 21st century, the needs are just growing.

Ocean Purification Business Expanding②

<A variety of organisms from Japan cross the sea and have been in various parts of the world. >

● In various parts of the world damaged by ballast water, not to be overlooked the damage by ballast (weight) water to load the ship in order to stabilize the running. Seawater loaded into the ballast tank at the departure of the Japan is discharged at Port of call. In addition to having a bad influence on the local ecosystem and the water industry as described above as an alien species, the organism of the Japan production which had been mixed has brought it to the occurrence of the health damage of the local person. Cases of damage caused by foreign organisms that are considered to be caused by ballast water. Australian farmed scallops and oyster damage caused by starfish brought from Japan, etc. Due to the proliferation of zebra shells from Eastern Europe, the closure of the inlet of the power plant on the Great Lakes Coast United States. There have been cases where one million people have been infected in South America due to the cholera bacterium that has been transferred to the Mexico Bay, and 10,000 deaths have died.

● Market size of ballast water measures: trillion yen although the damage has not been manifested at this time, there is a high possibility that new damage will occur when the growth environment of governing organisms changes in the future of climate change, the activation of economic activity of the GDP supremacy, and water pollution by industrialization and urbanization, etc. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the "Ballast Water Regulation Treaty" in February 2004. The treaty requires that new shipbuilding be equipped with equipment that properly handles ballast water since 2009. "This processing unit is expected to be in demand for more than two trillion yen in the world" (Eco-business Network Research) Other, the damage measures caused by the biological movement, it is no doubt that an immense market will be created. This is business opportunities in the marine Japan of the environmental technology nation.

2018 Nov Protests against the rise in tax hikes on the France

In my opinion, France has a traditional history of designing policies and systems in a consultative system by a partnership of about 200 years (government, citizens, universities, etc.). However Japan there is no such traditional partnership. I will advance things in the upper mind of the boss and the Japanese flag. There is a political shop looking for interest in Urochoro. In France case, people's riots would be a sound demonstration to the government that would discard and push the partnership agreement.

In the Japan, there is no such a traditional partnership, and the "parliamentary democracy" led by the number of politicians pushed by the diet is gone. By the way, the policy and the institutional design of the environment are always outside the mosquito net. If the recycling method is raised as an example, it is "cart before toppling" which says that the industry profit priority is made by each law of the European imitation, and the framework is created later. The system design of the boss and the Japanese flag is done.

The Renovation and renewal business of housing 1998.11.15

The "Renovation and renewal" business of housing, is expected to grow to a market that exceeds 20 trillion yen in fiscal 2015. The average service life of a Japan residence is very short with about 25 years. Compared with the 75 years of the United States, 44 years of the United Kingdom, it is well below considering the difference of the building method such as the wooden house and the brick. In the past, construction and renovation of new buildings has helped Japan domestic building demand. The construction industry has grown steadily in proportion to economic growth, and it can be said that the result of having continued the Bill de and scrap in that. According to the undisclosed of the Ministry of Construction and the Institute for Construction Economics, the maintenance and repair work for the entire construction industry in 1995 was 12.5 trillion yen. This is a total of 15.2% of all construction, and it has remained stable for the past six years. However, in Europe and the United States, it has exceeded 30% of United Kingdom, and has already grown to a scale comparable to the new market.

ISO14001 Certification proceeds worldwide 1998.10.15

An informal summary of the number of ISO 14001 certification obtained in the world as of July 2 was summarized in the Germany government environment personnel. According to the country, the Japan surpassed 1018 and only 1000, United Kingdom about 650, followed by Germany about 630. The total of the world is 5417 in 55 countries and regions, including round-the-round such as English and German. In Western Europe except Switzerland, the number of EMAS registered at the same time is 1870, while ISO14001 certification is 2517.

Green Plastic as an eco-material in Europe

Gradually the penetration of European consumer goods manufacturers is taking a big helm in the use of plant-derived plastics and recycled plastics. In the Japan, there is excessive coverage of the efforts of the de-oil-based plus chick about the drinking straw and the container etc. which are mass consumption and a large amount of waste in the food service industry. It seems that the clue is finally opened, but in Europe overseas, the material changes in consumer goods, The efforts of the oil-based plastics have already begun to move in earnest. <!--more--> For example Denmark major toy manufacturers have introduced plant-derived polyester products, which are made from sugarcane for the first time in the company. We are currently selling Lego block plants from plants in the form of grass and trees for a limited time, but the policy is to expand it to all products. In addition, the sneaker manufacturer Adidas is not using the new material from plants, but rather crisis it with recycled materials from polyester materials. We sold 100 pairs sneakers with recycled polyester for 17 years. It is a full-scale switching policy in 24 years. By the way, about 40% of clothing is used for recycled goods. "The cost is one to two percent higher, but the priority is to reduce the environmental impact" is practiced in the products sold. The tendency to choose products and invest in the consumer, the manufacturer, and the investor based on the consideration of the environment is spread before. It is said that it will be possible to reuse and to recover all plastic by 30 years.

Expanding renovation, repair and renovation markets ③

The renovation of each room is also increasing rapidly due to renovations and renovation projects. As well as the increase in renovation and renovation business, the demand for renovation of each room has expanded. With the same incidental construction as at the time of new construction, local renovation specialists, house manufacturers, work stores, contractors, handyman, etc. have entered full-scale entry. They also started to get busy with the local DIY materials shop. In addition, the building management company has embarked on the renovation and the renovation business. A wide range of buildings, buildings, and general detached houses, such as large skyscrapers, which are subject to redevelopment in the city revitalization project of the government. By the way, the construction market of the industrialized countries in Europe and America is the main each room renovation and renovation. National Stadium, Japan Youth Museum, etc. is the first Olympics in Asia, It is time to reconsider the idea of scrap and build, which was a symbolic and cultural heritage of developed countries through the high economic growth period, and it was very easy to destroy and rebuild buildings and buildings.

What is the difference between recycling and reuse ②

<Reuse resources before recycling>

In terms of reusing used products, we do not need large-scale equipment and equipment to recycle, and energy consumption is low. Furthermore, considering the environmental load in the recycling process, the winner will go up towards reuse to prolong the life of used products.　Reuse is wiser than recycling. When it comes to reuse, beer bottles, old clothes, antique tools, used cars, etc. are representative. Recently, new old books, the form of reuse such as old clothes as a new fashion item has also spread the hem. In addition to repairing and repairing the bicycles and furniture that the municipality has recovered as a bulky waste, it can be offered at low cost to the citizens, and buying and selling of used goods on free markets and waves is flourishing. By the way, we hear that the distribution market for secondhand products is much more than 1.5 trillion yen, and this reuse is creating a new business. In the re-use, a specialized company has been born to the demand for repair and repairs of the part that is functionally defective. Expansion major companies are also in the market. In recent years, this reuse business has resulted in changes in the market from newly built markets to the renovation and repair markets in the construction and housing industry, which has been facing the need for renovation and repair, and houses about 7 million buildings in detached houses. The tendency is strong in Europe and America early.

Eco-friendly hotels are on the increase 1

I hear that more and more tourists and young people in Japan choose environmentally friendly accommodations. The Eco-hotel, which is based on a different ecological service than the traditional service, is established as a new hotel service. In the past, it was an opportunity to acquire ISO14001 certification for each hotel and to improve the environment of business activities.
　I followed the current situation of the Eco Hotel. "Eco Hotel", which complies with the environmental management of the eco-hotel prior to the current trend, was the environmental improvement of our business activities. You can change to the pump type of the appropriate dosage from disposable shampooing shampoo, you can switch to eco building materials to eliminate the authentic linoleum, in addition to use the organic materials such as yukata and bedding, and Ene the Ministry for indoor Lighting, 　The main efforts were to reduce and recycle food residue discharged at the facility. The reason behind this is that the incentive as a business to Seru customers in addition to improving business activities is strengthened. One of the ways to choose hotels among tourists from Europe, where environmentally friendly hotels are becoming the mainstream, is to not miss the "choose an eco hotel at the same price". With the surge of foreign tourists in the hotel industry, hotel prices and traditional services are just the time to reconsider. A new customer base has emerged for the tourists who are attracted to these eco-hotels. Young people seeking a lifestyle that considers the environment and health (safety and security).

PVC ban on toys subject in EU 1998.04.15

The European Commission, the Executive Body of the EU, proposes a ban on the European market, which provides PVC containing phthalates for toys intended for children under the age of three. Because phthalates may adversely affect the health of infants, they are expected to be implemented soon. Also, toys that are not intended to be placed in the mouth are also obligated to label the use of phthalates.

Import and sales of environmental equipment from overseas 1998.8.15

The environmental business market is steadily expanding. More than 40% of listed companies and about 20% of unlisted companies are already developing or planning environmental business. The overall sales trend is on the rise. Government policies, policies, laws and regulations, corporate-side environmental activities, and the improvement of civic consciousness to the environment are the winds of expansion. Because an environmental business item can counts 800, it is thought that there is always a business opportunity on the extension of the work of the production. If the interest and awareness of environmental issues are deepened and it becomes a radar, newcomers should not be so difficult. There are a number of new ways to enter the market even if there is no adequate environmental resources for the new entrants. One of them is import and sale of environmental equipment from overseas. There are a lot of outstanding environmental equipment and goods of life-size not found in Japan country in the European and American countries called the Environment advanced country. The number is also rich, the quality is easy to operate high and the price is positively cheap. For example, there is no such thing as enumeration, such as Australia power saving device, Denmark wind power generator, United Kingdom water quality analysis equipment, and environmental goods of the United States made daily necessities. There is such a success example. The president of a small and medium-sized company who succeeded in the import and sale of a compressed reduction vessel convenient for the transportation and storage of Sweden-made garbage four years ago, "insight to choose a product, foresight to read the destination of the law, if there is a marketing power," he said. It was a success after thoroughly examining the European and American recycling-related laws and anticipating the establishment of a similar law in the Japan (container and packaging recycling law). As a source of information on imports, there is an environmental equipment exhibition that will be held in Japan first. Search on the Internet is also valid. Information can be caught from overseas environmental magazines. The trend of environmental goods in each country is examined in the Japan Trade Promotion Association (JETRO). A new entry into the environment business by the import and sale from overseas in a small business is high probability of success. It is also possible to create a trading company specializing in environmental concerns.

Biomas energy 2000.08.15

Biomass energy used in methods such as direct combustion, methane fermentation and gasification by pyrolysis has been reviewed as a promising source of energy. By 2010, the European Union has doubled its share of renewable energy (including geothermal and large-scale hydropower) from 6% to 12% in total energy, up 8. It plans to make biomass for 5% (10 million kw in heat output). Sweden and Finland that have been working relatively early have already covered about 20% of the primary energy supply and 12% Austria. The use of biomass in the European Union is mainly due to the local heat supply through combustion. In Sweden, many municipalities have heat supply facilities that burn wood and other trees that cannot be used for timber, and heat is being sent to public facilities and houses through piping that is built underground in urban areas. <!--more-->
In areas that do not draw piping, woody fuel processed small pellets are used for the fuel of stoves and small boilers. Because plant resources are used to fix CO2 by photosynthesis, the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere can be kept constant if the tree is planted even if it burns it. In food factories and paper mills that generate a large amount of organic wastes, it is possible to recycle in the factory and reduce the cost of energy, let alone the processing cost. Especially for food waste recycling law in April 2001, more and more examples of adopting methane fermentation technology are being used in food factories.

ESCO and the resource company business 1999.05.15

It can be said that this is a comprehensive project to promote resource saving such as introduction of recycling technology and clustering of wastes.

This business is in full swing to promote resource saving and recycling technology. Japan imports vast amounts of natural resources from overseas and exports them to foreign countries as processed goods. Therefore, it is discharged to a large amount of waste and domestic. 2.2 billion tonnes of resources flowed in 1996. Of these, 1.29 billion tons are discharged after becoming new stock, such as civil engineering buildings, but only 230 million tons of recycled materials are used. Less than 900 million tonnes of waste are required, and the industrial wastes, 50 million tons, are general waste. The resource company business inevitably comes into view in the drastic improvement of the resource problem.

The return of Black Forest - PM2.5

Serious air pollution, water pollution in the people's health damage, the rapid increase of fatalities in the world, China is going through the road of unparalleled pollution power. Currently, the PM2.5 concentration in Beijing is more than 12 times the domestic regulation value Japan at 400 msv.

Recently, PM2.5 has been reported mainly, but it is well known that China's air pollution includes sulfur, nitrogen oxides, dust, Cadnim, lead, etc. It joins with moisture in the air besides "Beijing asthma", and it becomes "acid rain" if it becomes rain though it is the one by the use of the coal and oil etc. with poor quality. In China, they call it the aerial demon. If this acid rain is Shiri to the Japan, the Forest Withers, the lake is acidified as the lemon is squeezed, and the concrete of the building is acidic and deteriorated and battered. Beijing has shown concern about "aerial demons", but it is neglect and neglected without any surgery. If you continue to leave this state, the Japan is sure to suffer a big blow. It is not likely to cover the whole Japan with the dome (roof).
Korea, the neighboring countries such as Taiwan will injured a lot of damage more than the Japan.

In the early nineteenth century, after the industrial revolution in United Kingdom, acid rain destroyed the Germany ' Black Forest ', and the whole of northern Europe was acidified to destroy the natural ecosystem.

Being asked now is not a coping therapy of using "mask" which prevents the polluted air from entering the body. There is a need for root treatment to prevent the spread of air pollutants in various pollutants. The conclusion of the Japan-China air pollution (acid rain) Treaty is considered as a means. It is a concrete approach based on the joint Implementation guidelines in the Convention.

In addition to excellent desulfurization and denitration technology, the Japan possesses technologies such as measures to prevent automobile emissions. How do we share technology between the two countries and fate the joint development of equipment and equipment? It is not a drawing of the territory, territorial waters or airspace. Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of the Ministry of the Environment are facing challenge.

Dye-sensitized solar cells 1998.12.15

Dye-sensitized solar cells are actively being researched in Europe and the United States and Australia as a favorite of next-generation solar cells that cover the weaknesses of the current mainstream solar cell. The structure is to hear two conductive glass electrodes, a thin film of titanium dioxide is an oxide semiconductor, a dye that is referred to as ruthenium complexes, the oxidation-reduction electrolyte solution mainly composed of iodine buyeo in order, the light is converted into electricity by the photoelectrochemical reaction of the three-layer question. Using a sensitizing dye to absorb visible light as much as possible, a porous titanium dioxide captures the electrons that light hits the fly. The basic structure of the Switzerland MP was about 10% of the conversion efficiency achieved in 1991 by Prof. Greg of the University of Technology at Lausanne, Switzerland Federal Institute of Technology, Research and development, The Joint research group of the Max Planck Institute of Germany increased the conversion efficiency to 33% by adopting a positive charge to the electrolyte efficiently. Sealing of the electrolyte solution to practical use, although the technical issues such as functional maintenance measures are left, after both the main raw material is inexpensive, because it is not necessary also takusaivalent manufacturing equipment, it is estimated that it can be produced at about 70 yen per watt, already material department, It attracts expectations of related manufacturers such as automobiles.
