Title Technologies for Reducing Environmental Load of Next-generation Smart Cities
Year 2014
Published Fujitsu Scientific & Technical Journal, 50, 4
Abstract Environmental problems are increasing at a fast pace: water and food shortages due to rapid population growth; climate change; the exhaustion of resources and energy sources; pollution of water, soil, and the atmosphere; and the decrease in biodiversity, to name a few. To provide solutions to these problems and achieve a sustainable, prosperous society, the potential of information and communications technology (ICT) must be leveraged both for the protection of the global environment and to secure economic growth in other words, to attain "green" growth. Furthermore, more research and development is required not only on environment-related issues but also on social issues related to agriculture, energy, smart cities, transport, medicine, education, and other domains. Fujitsu is striving to expand the limits of social sustainability by pursuing a Human-Centric Intelligent Society while creating various innovations for society with new value through advantageous use of diverse types of information. From among research and development efforts designed to support innovations related to society and the environment, we will present in this paper an energy harvesting technology that supports machine-to-machine applications, environmental management technologies, and environmental measurement technologies, as technologies that reduce the environmental load of next-generation smart cities.
