Multiscale Science and Engineering for Energy and the Environment Thrust

Pull together the range of challenges facing Japan and the world’s energy transition, namely the transition from largely fossil fueled energy technology to a carbon-neutral or a carbon-free energy supply

Research Overview

The Multiscale Science and Engineering for Energy and the Environment (MSEEE) thrust pulls together the range of challenges facing Japan’s and the world’s energy transition, namely the transition from largely fossil fueled energy technology to a carbon-neutral or a carbon-free energy supply. In addition, this thrust enables the coordination of carbon reduction technologies, energy efficiency technologies, and guidance for social, political, and investment strategies to coordinate this transition.

To contribute to this transition, we carry out research underlying (i) carbon capture technologies based on membrane separation for zero and negative emission, (ii) carbon storage and management using the earth, (iii) energy efficient technologies, (iv) socio-techno-economic and policy analysis and (v) thermal energy conversion. Our research efforts are strongly linked with and leverage mathematics for energy engineering; this capability allows us to take advantage of optimization and agent-based models to integrate renewable and distributed energy resources to the electric grid, to enhance efficiency and safety in combustion processes, and to develop dynamic models cognizant of the energy transition and social equity evaluations.
