The lab builds and tests the mechanisms of a low-carbon society, from small vehicles to community energy.
AboutAbout the lab
From the real site, real objects, and real conditions to implementation in society.
The Onoda Lab does technology development and research on new social systems for building a recycling-oriented society and a low-carbon society.
Its research pillars include life cycle assessment of products and systems, the 3Rs, resource circulation, energy creation and energy saving, and next-generation mobility.
Centered on engineering, it is an interdisciplinary lab spanning the sciences and humanities, joined by people who have studied social sciences and by working professionals.
Keeping "social implementation" in mind, the lab carries out its research in connection with technology development and demonstration projects in which industry, academia, government, and citizens collaborate.
Key terms
- Life cycle assessment (LCA)
- A method of measuring the environmental impact of a product or service across its entire life, from raw material extraction to disposal
- Smart community
- A community system that uses electricity and heat efficiently as a region, reducing waste
- 3Rs
- Three efforts: reduce waste, reuse, and recycle as resources
- Self-sufficient decentralized energy system
- A system in which each region produces and uses its own electricity and heat, without relying on large power plants

The lab works on technology development and demonstration toward realizing a low-carbon society, a recycling-oriented society, and smart communities. It also develops environmental performance evaluation based on life cycle assessment, as well as evaluation methods that take social acceptance into account.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of Ultra-Lightweight Small Mobility
The lab develops ultra-lightweight small mobility called ULV (Ultra Lightweight Vehicle) and tests it by actually running it. Some run on electricity, and others are equipped with an engine powered by compressed air.
*Illustrative imageEvaluation Indicators for Smart Communities
When building a smart community, where energy is used collectively within a region, the lab develops indicators to measure how well it works.
*Illustrative imageSelf-Sufficient Decentralized Energy Systems
The lab designs and evaluates decentralized energy systems that incorporate renewable energy and supply electricity and heat on a self-sufficient basis within a region.
*Illustrative imageEnergy Demand Forecasting Methods
The lab develops methods to predict how much energy is used in commercial and residential facilities such as offices and homes.
