Formulation of Zero Emissions Oriented Material Cycle Processes : Steering Group

该项目由三个研究小组执行，并由一个指导小组进行管理和控制。1）工序零排放：生产工序的物流对酱料生产、塑料生产、PVC生产、建筑、制浆、镀金、酿酒、钢铁生产等12个生产工序，明确了工序内外的物流。2）零排放网络根据从200多家企业获得的信息，开发了产业投入产出数据库和产业网络模拟器。3）区域零排放：区域物质循环的数学模型开发了根据投入产出表估算区域物质流的方法，并将其用于艾希等3个都道府县的物质流分析。提出了建立区域零排放的程序，包括经济影响、共识体系和法律体系，并整理了各成员的出版物资料、各种会议记录等，通过互联网向公众发布。此外，还审查和编辑了一份学术期刊的3期特刊，内容涉及零排放。出版了3本书，其中载有该项目的部分研究论文，并分发给有关人员和组织。

This project was carried out by three research groups with management and control by a steering group. Outlines of establishment of each group are summarized as follows.1)Process Zero Emissions : Material flows in production processesFor 12 production processes involving soy sauce producton, plastics production, PVC production, construction, pulping, gilding, wine production and steel production processes, material flows inside and outside the processes were clarified. Also, 12 key technologies for establishing zero emissions such as carbonization, hydrothermal treatment, forming, rapid thermal decomposition, photocatalitic regeneration, steam explosion and phase separation were developed.2)Zero Emissions NetworkIndustrtal input-output database and industrial network simulators ware developed on the basis of information obtained from over 200 business establishments. Also, over 600 technical data of material conversions of unutilized materials were collected and organized.3)Regional Zero Emissions : Mathematical modeling on regional material cyclesA methodology for estimating regional material flows from Input-Output Tables was developed and used to material flow analyses in 3 prefectures including Aich. Also, procedures to establish regional zero emissions ware proposed involving economic impacts, consensus systems and law systems.The steering group organized publication data of all the members, records of various meetings and conferences, etc. and sent these information to the public through Internet. Also, 3 special issues of an academic journal were reviewed and edited on zero emissions. 3 books containing selected research papers from this project were published and delivered to related persons and organizations.
