Since its establishment, the Graduate School of

Environmental Studies has promoted education and

research for energy and resource recycling in order to

support the recycling society of the future.

When it was founded, the phrase “environmental issue”

was all about public pollution and controlling the effects

of human activities on ecosystems. In that situation, the

energy and resource problems that our school emphasized

were not thought of as environmental issues. After 10

years however, the global warming issue has come up to

the surface, and energy issues have now become global

environmental issues. It has become imperative to

convert from a fossil-energy based society to a society

which does not emit carbon dioxide.

In addition, the country has become more dependent

on fossil energy after the shutting down of nuclear

power plants after the Fukushima No.1 nuclear accident

caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March

11, 2011. One of the solutions to this problem is to

encourage the introduction of new energy systems.

From the ‘smart house’ to the ‘smart city’, we are

focusing our efforts to develop a society founded on

renewable sources of energy. In this way, our main

focus on renewable energy technology and energy

recycling is coming to be seen as essential for protecting

the globa l env ironment and for construct ing a

sustainable society in the future.

One of the major challenges is to convert gasoline-

based vehicles, which consume great amounts of fossil

energy, to hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles; and

development is proceeding on electric motors and

rechargeable batteries for such vehicles. It seems that

we are now in the middle of a period of innovation

leading to an automobile revolution. We are shifting the

conventional way of thinking from vehicles powered by

gasoline to an era of electric vehicles. Along with this

trend, large quantities of hitherto disregarded rare-

earth elements have become necessary, together with

lithium as a key material in rechargeable batteries. We

are thus now focused on not only recycling vehicles but

also recycling these elements. This is really ushering in

Think globally,Act locally

P h i l o s o p h y

It is essential to view science and technology as discipl ines that can peacefully coexist with the environment. Such a view necessitates a paradigm shift toward a new perspective that differs from those of past centuries. The Graduate School of Environmental Studies was established in April 2003 to play a responsible role in constructing future-evolutional social systems through spreading new environmental coexistence-based state-of-the-art academic research to the world as a university that possesses advanced scientific and technological knowledge. The Graduate School of Environmental Studies is intended to create a social system that can become bases of a cultural and recycle-based society which supports sustainable development by integrating the "knowledge" of Tohoku University as a comprehensive university. In order to train people to acquire high-level knowledge and skills and to become indiv iduals who can tackle myr iad challenges on a global scale in the 21st century, we strive:

a resource recycling society.

It is thus becoming more natural to think automatically

of recycling energy and resources these days. Our school

has thus been actively working on environmental

problems and energy issues – we have established

education programs such as the “Environmental

Leadership Program” and the “Strategic Environmental

Management and Sustainable Technology Solutions

(SEMSaT)” to nurture human resources for the next

generation, and also in research and development, we

have started the “Next-generation Energies for Tohoku

Recovery Project (NET)” to build a new energy system

using renewable energy. Looking back at our efforts to

date, our school’s theme has changed with the

environmental problems of the times and will continue

to constantly look ahead to deal with future challenges.

In the years ahead, by looking ahead at what science,

technologies and social systems are needed for the next

generation; we aim to carry out research which will

provide the foundation for planning the next society’s

infrastructure and its development.

Final ly, we would l ike to thank you for your

continuous cooperation and support.

Regional Environment and Socio-cultural Studies

Many environmental problems have arisen around the world. To resolve these problems, it is necessary to consider a range of regional environmental and social/cultural issues. In this integrated course, we elucidate the interrelationship between man and the environment, and development of a sustainable socio-cultural system. We investigate a range of geographical, political and economics systems, to highlight the interaction between historical, cultural and social systems and the natural environment. Furthermore, the students will be taught to objectively and critically consider the effects of industrial development on the environment.

Environmental Chemistry and Ecoengineering

In this study, students are systematically introduced to the way physical chemistry and chemical engineering is used to protect the environment. The course describes molecular transformation and chemical reaction processes that are designed to avoid discharge of unfriendly material to the environment; efficient chemical reactions that detoxify environmentally unfriendly materials; technologies that efficiently utilize or reuse natural resources (such as various chemical substances, fossil fuel, biomass, etc); and technologies to chemically monitor environmentally unfriendly materials. In addition, students learn about the environment and ecological/life cycles, in order to recognize the relationships between chemical processes within the body and interactions between the environment and functions of living organisms.

Ecomaterial Design and Process Engineering

Here, we offer a comprehensive course, which includes an evaluation of the environmental load caused by industrial production processes, the development of environmental-friendly processes for material production, and functionalization technologies of materials. We use the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to evaluate the environmental load and impact caused by the manufacturing, utilization and disposal of industrial products. This course focuses on the aspects of material recycling technologies and efficient resources usage in the material production processes, including assessment of current processes and design of future sustainable processes. Further, we offer instructions on the design of surface and bulk functions of materials, which play an important role in environmental protection and new energy development.
