Kawasaki is sure at the forefront!
Environmental improvement, energy use, and resource recycling achieved all at once
Cutting-edge Eco Report
Here is a firsthand account of the projects being carried out by “Kawasaki, a Cutting-edge
Environmental City” that are gaining attention from both in and outside of Japan.
Advanced treatment facility undergoes renewal
and realizes “visualization”

Ozenji Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Center
This wastewater treatment plant, the oldest in Kanagawa Prefecture,
supports the lives of some 320,000 people in all of Kawasaki Ward and
parts of Saiwai Ward and Nakahara Ward. Transformed into an
advanced treatment facility in 2011, its environmental measures are
focused on three priorities: “environmental improvement”; “energy use”;
and “resource recycling.”
Heat from the incinerator is used to generate electricity
Completed in March 2012, the Ozenji Municipal Solid Waste Disposal
Center is the main waste treatment facility in the northern part of
Kawasaki city. The Center can incinerate and treat a maximum of 450t of
household garbage in one day, which is equivalent to waste collected by
225 garbage trucks. Not only this, the Center has made possible the
effective use of energy by utilizing the steam from the heat of the
incinerator to generate 7,500 kW of electricity at full capacity. In addition
to using the generated electricity within the facility, surplus electricity is
transmitted to an electric power company.

which wastewater flows from homes.

manager, who provided a guided tour of

At the hands-on learning spaces, videos and models
are used to explain cutting-edge technologies in
an easy-to-understand format.
At the central control room, the situation

Kawasaki’s cutting-edge renewable
energy technologies.
Visitors have a chance to get an up close
look at actual products.
On the way to the front desk of the facility, visitors will pass a 100 m high
smokestack that rises high into the sky. Visitors are able to receive a guided
tour offered by a staff member, as well as observe the waste treatment in
action through a glass window. In order to pass a standard that is more
rigorous than average, the incinerator incinerates garbage at a high
temperature of more than 900°C while minimizing the release of toxic
substances. Gas emissions are treated at a specialized emission treatment
facility, and thorough measures are taken to control odor and sound. So
that everyone can be reassured, the facility is managed around the clock at
the central control room.
In the future, a recycling treatment facility, a plaza building, and a health and
community space will be constructed. The next-generation comprehensive
waste treatment facility is scheduled to be completed in FY2015.
For the address and contact information, see
p.15
At this facility that has achieved “visualization,” visitors are able to see the
process in which wastewater is treated and purified. This advanced
treatment process has contributed to improving the water quality in Tokyo
Bay. Compared to the conventional water treatment method, the advanced
process has improved the removal of the causes of red tide: “nitrogen” and
“phosphorous.” Furthermore, a small hydroelectric power generation
system has been introduced, which utilizes the drop height of the treated
water to generate 100,000 kWh of power annually (after the entire facility is
completed) for consumption by the facility. The amount of CO2 reduced is
equivalent to the amount absorbed by approximately 2,300 planted cedar
trees in one year.
At observation points and hands-on learning spaces, descriptions and audio
guides are available in multiple languages, facilitating visitors’ understanding of
cutting-edge environmental wastewater treatment technologies.
For the address and contact information, see

Learning about future technologies through
a game-like experience
Tours are available to see the adjacent Ukishima Solar Power Plant from
the rooftop of the recycling treatment facility. At the recycling treatment
facility, visitors can observe the intermediate process of disposing mixed
paper and plastic containers and packaging collected from homes in
Kawasaki city, and deepen their understanding of recycling. Eco Gurashi
Mirai-kan, founded on the concept of “learning by seeing, hearing, and
touching,” provides opportunities to see and learn while having fun
through a game-like experience, making the facility a perfect place for
learning. The exhibition room is divided into the Global Warming
Challenge Zone, Renewable Energy Zone, and Resource Recycling
Challenge Zone. Visitors are able to see up close cutting-edge
environmental technologies founded in the Kawasaki coastal area,
including actual solar power panels and a portion of the wind turbine of
Ogishima Wind Power Plant.
Visitors both from within Japan and overseas via Haneda Airport
.
Kawasaki Eco Gurashi Mirai-kan is a hands-on facility where visitors can learn
about the environment, with focus given to renewable energies, including solar
power generation, and
recycling of resources, such as
waste. Since opening in August
2011, the facility has been
visited by more than 25,000
people, from children to adults
(as of the end of September
2012). Featuring convenient
Access: From JR Kawasaki Station, take the Kawasaki
City Bus 03 Waterfront District going to “Ukishima
access from Haneda Airport,
Bus Terminal,” and get off at the last stop, “Ukishima
many people visit the facility
Bus Terminal” (Approx. 40 min)
from both Japan and overseas. * Approx. 10-min walk from “Ukishima Bus Terminal”
Capable of producing enough
electricity to power approx.
2,100 homes annually!
A spectacular sight of the
approx. 38,000 solar panels

office building that will
become Kawasaki city’s
symbol,” this building
received CASBEE
Kawasaki’s S-rank – the
“highest rank” given to

10
improved environmental quality with minimum
external environmental load.
Green as well as functional and safe
The building employs airflow windows, which
circulate the indoor air, and Low-E high insulation
glass. As a result, the heat of solar radiation in the
summer and cold air in the winter are prevented
from entering, improving the efficiency of the
cooling and heating system. Furthermore, the
building has an automatic light control system that
consistently lets in the optimal amount of outside
light, as well as LED lighting which achieves high
energy savings. In addition, much thought went
into the location of the windows to increase natural
lighting and realize a comfortable brightness.
Moreover, the building achieves 1.5 times the
durability stipulated in the Building Standards Act
in case of
emergencies. Mr.
Tamura of the
KCCI General
Affairs Dept.
describes,
“Functionality and
(From left) Mr. Yoshida and

taking thorough

environmental
measures, and therefore, the building is hospitable
to both the environment and the workers.”
The name “Kawasaki Frontier Building” was
chosen from a list of names collected from staff.
Mr. Yoshida of the KCCI Planning and PR Dept.
states, “As those working at this environmentally
cutting-edge office, we would like to actively lead
the way into the new era with a ‘frontier spirit’.”
The office building is indeed very bright and full
of vitality.

“The goal is to create more homes that supply
and utilize their own energy. Five to six solar
panels can generate more than 50% of the power
consumed annually per household,” said
Chairman Suzuki on solar power generation.
Moving forward, “KNEPA aims to continue its
activities as a comprehensive organization that
actively incorporates not only solar power but
also wind and hydroelectric powers. My dream is
to establish ‘Kawasaki, a Solar City,’ that makes
everyone cheerful,” Chairman Suzuki expressed
with enthusiasm.

Kawasaki New Energy Promotion Association
(KNEPA) is a group of 13 enterprises in the field
of solar power generation or energy-saving
homes. It disseminates information to the public
on the expansion of new energy aiming to
prevent global warming. Based in Kawasaki city,
the Association carries out a wide range of
activities, including seminars and events. It ran a
booth at the Kawasaki Environmental Show
Window Fair held in July 2012. The solar power
demo using an actual solar panel was very
popular with children, amazed to discover that
solar power was capable of generating electricity.
Chairman Suzuki of KNEPA began to focus on
solar power two decades ago. Seeing
eco-friendly solar panels which do not release
CO2, he said the idea of being able to produce
electricity anywhere, so long as the sun was
shining, excited him.
