Future Revolution starting with research on Geo-resources and Environment

Opening up the future of Geo-resources and Environment
The GREEN plays a role as a Japanese research base for solving the issues of ‘energy, environment and resource constraints’ through science and technology.We promote a balanced, multi-layered approach, from basic research that generates original ideas to applied research and development that leads to social implementation. We also implement various large-scale joint research projects that overcome differences in academic backgrounds and technologies.
- CO2 geological storage and CCUS-related research
- Assessment of coastal geological environments for radioactive waste repository
- Evaluation of the development potential of mineral resources
- R&D for surface-type methane hydrate


What is GREEN?
We have established a research implementation system to respond to the demands of society in an agile and cross-disciplinary manner.

Research Activities
We conduct research related to resources, environment, and technology in the geosphere, aiming to harmonize environmental conservation with development and utilization, and to contribute to the sustainable development of national resource and energy policy and industry.

Research Work at GREEN
Since AIST's establishment, its employees have been active as members of one of Japan's most valuable public research organizations that can contribute to both natural resources and the environment.
