Industry's Participation in Climate Change Problem [ppt] | Ozaki (Sato) |
Climate Technology, Natural Energy, CO2 Sequestration |
It is said there exists enormous amount of Methan-hydrate under the sea bed in the worldwide ocean including the adjacent sea ofJapan. Assuming that you are to investigate this Methan-hydrate and try to get a budget for it, make the applications with relating to the climate change problem.

Combustion, Reaction and CO2 Sequestration [ppt] |
Hirai |
Combustion, Reaction, Fuel Cell, CO2 Sequestration |
Compare two CO2 mitigation strategies; CO2 sequestration and application
of fuel cell to automobiles. How much would be the CO2 mitigation for these
two in case of Japan. Consider the case for various parameters, for example,
how many automobiles are changed from internal combustion engines to fuel
cell.
