Issue 2: Practical assessment of environment, safety, and sustainability for solving social issues

Research Background

　In many cases, solving social issues requires assessments of environment, safety, and sustainability through advanced simulations, data acquisition in various experiments, data processing, and judgments based on expert knowledge.

Outline and Target

　In addition to constructing assessment technologies and methods, RISS conducts environmental, safety, and sustainability assessments and delivers the results to private and public actors in society.

　Utilizing expertise in chemical risk assessment, physical risk assessment, and life cycle assessment, RISS conducts practical assessments of alternatives to chemical substances of concern, decarbonization and low-environmental-impact technologies, safety of utilizing drones and IoT devices in industrial plants, safety of hydrogen pipelines, and enhancement of sustainability of supply chains.
