ABOUT US

Our laboratory is Dr. Kazuhiro KUMABE Laboratory, Materials Chemistry Course, Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science, Faculty of Engineering) (Master students: Region of Energy Conversion, Department of Energy Engineering, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology), Gifu University, Japan and has been started from April, 2018 with taking over Prof. Hiroshi MORITOMI Laboratory closed at 31st March, 2018 because Prof. Moritomi retired from our University.

An electrical energy is mainly produced from primary energy sources such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. However, the utilization of these fossil fuel emits environmental pollutants such as NOx, SOx, CO2 and toxic trace elements. In addition, environmental pollutants are emitted at the production of various goods and the car use. The activity increases the energy use and the environmental pollution. Thus, it is difficult for the energy use (Energy), environment protection (Environment) and economic prosperity (Economy) to be achieved at an instant, being the "tri"-lemma of triple E (Fig.).


　Fig. "Tri"-lemma of triple E.

　The mottoes of our laboratory through the studies of the development of highly-efficient and environmentally-friendly energy system and of the reduction method of environmental pollutant such as the study on biomass energy production are as follows:

・to indicate to nation and society and for the "tri"-lemma of triple E to be achieved at an instant
・for students to learn socially desirable minimum manners and have a kindly heart.
