Machine-translated · View original
A unit that comprehensively addresses the challenges of carbon neutrality, from CO2 capture and storage to policy analysis.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking a comprehensive view of the transition to carbon neutrality
The Multiscale Structural Science Unit comprehensively studies the challenges faced in the transition from a fossil-fuel-centered society to a carbon-neutral one.
Its research covers a variety of CO2 emission reduction technologies and energy efficiency technologies, as well as combinations of them.
It also conducts research that considers the socioeconomic aspects of technologies and offers implications for policy and corporate investment strategies.
Mathematical methods are also incorporated to achieve an optimal energy cycle.
Key terms
- Carbon neutrality
- A state in which CO2 emissions and removals are balanced, bringing net emissions to zero
- Membrane separation
- A method that uses a membrane to separate specific components from a mixture
- Agent-based model
- A model that simulates the behavior of individual actors on a computer to examine how the system as a whole behaves
ResearchResearch themes
This unit addresses challenges at different scales, from CO2 capture aimed at zero and negative emissions to CO2 storage, energy-saving technologies, socio-techno-economic and policy analysis, and thermal energy conversion. The unit states that, by using optimization and agent-based models, it becomes possible to integrate renewable energy and distributed energy resources into the power grid, improve the efficiency and safety of combustion processes, and develop dynamic models that account for assessments of energy transition and social equity.
