Opening Remarks by Prof. Xiaofeng WU (CCPS of TSIGS, TU)

problems. Based on Japanese experience and knowhow, MLIT, municipalities and private companies
cooperate on solving these issues in other countries. Mr
Hisaoka stated that technology development and transfer,as well as support to enhance cooperation between
public and private sectors in Japan and overseas,
including demonstration projects abroad, are importantand effective for the improvement of both the water
environment and good sanitation.
Second, Mr. Kentaro DOI, Ministry of Environment(MOE), Japan, presented the “International Activity in the
Material Cycle and Waste Management Field in Japan.”He discussed solid waste issues in Asia and insisted
that sound material cycles and waste management areimportant. MOE promotes international cooperation,
including the support for institutional development andits contribution to international organizations, such asa Regional 3R Forum in Asia and the Pacific, African
Clean Cities Platform, G20 Implementation Framework
on Micro-Plastic, and World Circular Economy Forum.
He also showcased MOE’s collaboration with the private
sector on a plastic smart campaign. Overall, his talkillustrated how MOE supports developing countries
that are suffering from waste problems with Japanese
knowhow and advanced technologies in the material
cycles and waste management field.
Third, Mr. Nobuhiro TANIGAKI, Nippon SteelEngineering Co., Ltd. (NSE), talked on “International
Activity of Nippon Steel Engineering for Waste-toEnergy.” He demonstrated NSE’s waste-to-energy
technology, particularly a system consisting of optimum
grate, furnace and boiler, and water-steam cycle for highpower generation. Furthermore, for waste with higher
moisture contents, he stated that NSE has installed
several municipal solid incineration plants in East andSoutheast Asia (including China) and contributes to thecircular economy offering state-of-the-art technology.

Fourth, Mr. Satoshi NISHINO, Hitachi Zosen (HITZ)
Corporation, presented “Water Treatment Technologyof Hitachi Zosen Corporation in Chinese Market,” andintroduced HITZ’s environmental technology, in the areasof waste incineration, desalination, and water treatment.
His talk focused on fiber filtration systems for water
treatment facilities and CSO treatment in China and on
the collaboration between HITZ, TSIGS, and CRECET
on field tests. He concluded that Chinese markets require
technologies with lower total costs (in particular initialcost) and smaller carbon footprint.
Last, Mr. Dequan QIN, Hualan Design & Consulting
Group (HDCG), China, talked on “Experience of Water
Environment Restoration Technology Exchange andCooperation between China and Japan.” HDCG and
Kyoto University are performing cooperative researchthrough CRECET on stormwater control for water
quality and watershed management. Two engineers of
HDCG stayed at Kyoto University for two months tostudy the water environmental infrastructure of both
central and local government. This experience could
help to improve the water environment in Southern
China. He suggested that the Chinese market demands
technologies of water environment restoration and thatthe cooperation between HDCG and Kyoto University
on water environment restoration projects is, therefore,
very useful.

3-3. Study Tour						 (8:00-17:30, November 28)
By Wen Liu, Program-Specific Assistant Professor, GSGES

The study tour was held on November 28, the last
day of the symposium. More than 60 participantsjoined the tour. The first destination was the South
Clean Center of Kyoto, which is a new solid waste
incineration plant that started operation in October
2019. Along with the incineration plant, this facility
also has two bio-gas fermentation tanks that canprocess 60 tons of combustive solid waste and produce
methane gas to generate 1,000 kW (maximum) ofelectricity. The participants asked a lot of questions
and the staff tried their best to help them understandthe technologies applied in this facility. Surprisingly,
the chimney was accessible and the participants
enjoyed the view over Kyoto City very much.
The second site was the Lake Biwa Arai Weir andAqua Biwa Museum, located near the Seta River
Weir. This museum focuses on the water managementof Lake Biwa, which is the biggest freshwater lake

in Japan. With the understanding of both the history
and modern technology of the water management of
Lake Biwa, the subsequent visit to the Lake Biwa
Museum was more than sightseeing. The participants
enjoyed the demonstrations of the nature and humanrelationships in the Lake Biwa museum and all
became fond of the characteristic culture near the lake.
Also, the beautiful aquarium elevated the mood of
all participants, as well as taught them a lot about thebiological diversities around the lake.
Before entering the highway back to Kyoto,
the participants visited a “Michinoeki” in Shiga
Prefecture, where shops sell local cheap and fresh
agricultural products, snacks and souvenirs - many ofthem directly from local farmers. As the night falls,
the study tour ended with satisfaction and a little bit
regrettable feeling about the end of the symposium.
