The huge expansion of the
environmental business of Japan
Japan promoted research on
public pollution control system, a technology
in which toxic substances and smoke are removed
from drainage and the like, to address the problem
of pollution caused by high economic growth.
Energy-saving cars are being conceptualized
because of the oil crisis. Such technology served
as the base of the present environmental correlative
industry.
The environmental standards
method became the center of the environmental
policy of 1994. It was transformed from the
antipollution measure administration and the
positive measure for the environmental problem.
The eco-town enterprise, carried out by the
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for
97 years now, aims to launch a “zero waste?
environmental correlative industry.
As of 2002, the Ministry of
Environment computes the market scale of the
environmental business, and will compute an
employment scale with about ¥29,944,400
and 768,595 persons. If it will expand to the
market scale of a million yen and 1,119,343
employed persons, an estimated ¥58,376,200
million will be spre out to 1,236,439 persons.
Hyogo-Kobe: the site of environmental
business
The
Himeji extensive field are in Hyogo-Kobe is
particularly an environment and recycling offshore
production area. The heavy, thick, long and
large type industry on this district shifted
to an environment and energy industry, taking
advantage of the recent technical developments.
Meanwhile, the enterprise based on special measures
of regulation is promoting a broader-based recycling
maintenance design, the Hyogo Eco-Town plan.
Development of the environmental business is
aimed at constructing a recycling society.
Moreover, the foundation
on the regulations about environmental preservation
and creation is established, and the recycling
industry has been formed. Co-op Kobe is actually
developing itself as the window of circulation
of commercial goods and as a recovery base of
recyclable waste.
Takuma, which has a share
of the city incinerator, is located in Amagasaki-shi.
Major company iron ores and shipbuilding makers
are pushing through the creation of equipment
for environmental protection. The development
of an environmental business venture will be
backed up by small and medium-sized enterprises,
making the establishment of an environmental
plant in Hyogo-Kobe a possibility.
Environmental energy field

The
new Awaji-shima hotel plaza in Nandan-chi, Mihara-gun,
in cooperation with the New Energy and Industrial
Technology Department Organization (NEDO) introduced
Japan’s greatest aerogenerator which gives an
output of 1950kW. Moreover, a large-scale solar
energy power generation system is also in the
works in the Hyogo Prefectural Awaji agricultural
technology center in the Mihara-gun Yagi. Hyogo
Prefecture and NEDO are conducting joint researches
as a photovotaics field test enterprise.
Furthermore, water-power generation
is performed using the dam built in Haga-cho,
Shiso City. This electric power was sold to the
Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.
With the development of a
gas turbine, an energy superconductivity storage
system and many others will be expected, using
the technologies available in Hyogo-Kobe, the
industry that will supply the next-generation
high efficiency energy will also progress.
Many of these environmental-related
fields have a tax for conventional disposal.
This will be a big business opportunity when
incorporated in the economy. |

Environmental Business Expansion
Japan promoted the creation
of a public nuisance control system, technology
that removes toxic substance from the drainage
and eliminates smoke. It is a worldwide phenomenon
that top global companies have to do their part
and help clean up the environment. From teaching
about oil crisis, research for advanced car
technology and other implementations for environmental
protection
The environmental standards,
method that was be the main thrust behind the
environmental policy of 1994. What started out
as an anti-pollution act became a commitment
minimizing the negative effects of their operations
on the environment. The goal is a zero emission
eco-city industry.
As of 2002, the Ministry
of Environment has estimated that the market’s
growth-rate is expanding as more and more people
are gaining employment. It is calculated at
1,119,343 in 10 and 1,236,439 in 20-years time,
considerately moderate in an environment business.
Hyogo-Kobe Environmental Business
There is money in garbage
so said an old philosopher-entrepreneur. In
Hyogo-kobe there are waste disposal methods
available. Such technology that has been adapted
to not only minimize the garbage problem of
an industrialized city but also help solve energy
problems and safe keep environmental cleanliness.
The core of the business is aimed at the development
of a recycling society. This new outlook on
waste management has become a lucrative industry
on its own, an idea that is easy to sell and
easy to maintain trend setting businesses.
Takuma Environmental Plant,
located in Amagasaki-shi is one of the nation’s
top shared incinerators. Many major companies
have also joined in the establishment of the
recycling society in the near future, by affirming
the use of environmentally safe and compliant
protection equipment. All of these play a large
role and is forming the backbone for a venture
business endeavor and that the target for this
development is Hyogo-Kobe.
Expected change in the Energy
Sector
Awaji Shima plaza in Minami Awaji-City introduces the greatest Japanese
neogenerator generating 1950 KW through a joint
venture with the New energy and Industrial Development
Organization. There is also a large solar energy
power plant located in Hyogo Awaji Agricultural
Technology Center in the Minami Awaji-City. In
addition water power generation is currently
being tapped in the haga-cho Dam, Shisso-gun
as well as the Kansai Electrical Power Co. Inc.
Industry & Environment
In addition, the Kansai
research center is developing self-supporting
change in industrial structures and the creation
of new business styles from an environmental
preservation perspective performing new studies
on a harmonious fusion of industry and environment.
IGES, Institute for
Global Environmental Strategies is an organization
which does policy research is expecting that
by inspiring an awareness to this topic may
better develop the environmental business in
Hyogo.
Many non-environmental environment related field
injects a tax for conventional disposal of refuse. |
