    The Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) is an entity that supports the UNEP’s International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), based in Japan. GEC is dedicated to the transfer of environmentally sound technologies, in both developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The foundation aims to contribute to Japan’s international efforts on the environment, sharing project collaborations as well as promoting Japan’s rich conservation knowledge and experience in developing nations.

  • Novel Method for Microbial Screening for Improved Biofuel Production Process

    Type: 
    Product
    Technology:

    The invention improves the biofuel production process by providing a novel method for the screening of generated phenotypes of process organisms. Whereas previous methods to express heterogonous genes leave much of the genetic information unable to be screened this method instead enhances heterogonous gene expression through specifically engineering the transcriptional machinery of the host organism. This engineering involves manipulating the host machinery with sigma factors and RNA-polymerase (both essential to the transcription process) of the donor organism.

  • Variable Valve Actuation Method to Enhance Combustion and Reduce Engine Emissions

    Type: 
    Product
    Objective:

    In four-stroke engines intake and exhaust valves open during the engine cycle to introduce air into the combustion chamber prior to combustion and to release exhaust gases once combustion is complete. Valves are typically opened and closed by a mechanical cam-drive mechanism with timing dictated by rotation of the engine’s crankshaft. Recently a new technology has been introduced that uses an electronically controlled solenoid to open and close valves.

    Technology:

    Filter press and filtration integration which combines slurry filtration process research control system design filter press production and system commissioning service. Suitable for environmental protection mineral processing chemicals food and pharmaceutical industries etc. The Sludge Deep Dewatering Solution is a system that reduces moisture content to 60% after which the resulting cake can be used for landfill burning brick making greening fertiliser etc.

  • Emissions Inventory for Agricultural Tractors and Construction Equipment in India

    Type: 
    Publication
    Publication date:

    The authors of this preliminary study explore two key types of non-road mobile sources in India: agricultural tractors and construction equipment. Agricultural tractors are widely used in rural areas, and they often operate beyond their designated tasks, serving as alternative transportation for passengers and goods. Most construction equipment is used in or near India's urban centers, where population density is high and air quality is typically poor. Both agricultural tractors and construction equipment use limited emission control technology.

  • Reduced tillage (rice)

    Type: 
    Technology
    Sectors:
    Objective:

    For upland crops, reduced tillage technology for paddy rice involves planting or transplanting directly into the soil with minimal prior tillage in the residues of the preceding crop. Rice cultivation is responsible for 10% of GHG emissions from agriculture. In developing countries, the share of rice in GHG emissions from agriculture is even higher, e.g., it was 16% in 1994.

    An Endeavour to Make Food Secured

    The project “Making Agriculture and Market Systems Work for Landless, Marginal and Smallholder Farmers in Bangladesh” aims to improve the food security and livelihoods of 15,000 vulnerable, marginal farming households (approximately 75,000 people) and 300 rural private agricultural service providers in Bangladesh.
