Tokimatsu Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that evaluates the interface between energy technology and the socioeconomy.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring where technology meets society and the economy.
Tokimatsu Lab conducts research and education at the interface between technology and the socioeconomy.
Its guiding principle is to understand individual technologies, explore what those technologies mean for society, and make that clear to society.
The lab draws on knowledge from a wide range of fields, including energy science and engineering, energy systems, social science and engineering, and resource, environment, and development economics.
The scope of evaluation is broad: Japan, Asia, and the world, over a time span from 2030 to 2100.
Key terms
- CCS
- A technology that separates and captures CO2 emitted from factories and other sources and stores it underground or elsewhere
- Life cycle impact assessment
- An approach that estimates environmental impacts by tracing a product from the extraction of raw materials to disposal
- Inclusive wealth
- An economic indicator that captures sustainability through changes in the stock value of environmental, produced, and human capital
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on evaluations that link technology and the socioeconomy, from economic assessment of energy technologies to systems analysis of resources, economic valuation of environmental impacts, and indicators of sustainable development. Its analyses cover Japan, Asia, and the world, looking ahead from 2030 to 2100.
*Illustrative imageEconomic Evaluation of Energy Technologies
Targeting energy supply technologies such as waste, biomass, and coal technologies and CO2 capture and storage (CCS), the lab evaluates power generation costs and the amounts of environmentally harmful substances, such as CO2, that are emitted.
*Illustrative imageSystems Analysis of Energy Resources
Energy and materials become flows and stocks within the socioeconomic system, and each technology is related to other technologies. The lab conducts analyses that treat the supply and demand structure of technologies and resources as a system.
*Illustrative imageEconomic Valuation of Environmental Impacts
The lab evaluates, from an economic perspective, the environmental impacts of CO2, air pollutants, and waste. Using integrated assessment models and the approach of life cycle impact assessment to capture causal chains starting from emissions, it carries out valuation based on willingness to pay.
*Illustrative imageSustainable Development and Its Indicators
The lab analyzes "sustainable development" quantitatively. Centered on "inclusive wealth," which captures it as changes in the stock value of environmental, produced, and human capital that underlie human well-being, it covers a variety of indicators.
