FUCHIHATA Manabu: Professor Ph.D.; Department/Energy and Materials　 Graduate school/Mechanical Engineering

We give thought to fuels and combustion technologies that minimize emissions of hazardous substances and carbon dioxide. We research small-scale, high-efficiency, and low-pollution technologies to burn various fuels that can be produced from plant-derived biomass.
