In order to provide
solutions for global environmental problems, GERD is involved in
doing research, development, and consultation related to underground
survey and development mainly in the following fields
|
|
 |
|
 |
 |
| Green
Energy (Geothermal) |
|
 |
Geothermal energy is both
domestically available and renewable and, moreover, one that generates
little carbon dioxide, one of possible causes of global warming.
Compared with other renewable energy sourcesies, the geothermal
energy is superior in providing stable power throughout yearly and
daily. In addition to the power generation, it allows the directly
use of heat.
We offer consulting services and take on research and development
activities for a variety of applications of the geothermal energy
applications (power generation, direct use of heat, hot springs,
and so on).

We offer consulting services
and take on research and development activities for the exploitation
of various kinds of underground resources in addition to other than
the geothermal energy.
We are now providing technologies for the development of a new resource
under the sea floor near Japan, - which is methane hydrate.

| Ecology
and Living environment |
|
|
In the present life, technological
evolution and land development has led to causes various types a
variety of underground pollution and other disasters.
We offer technologies in various fields to address related to these
problems.

Underground
disposal of a high level nuclear wastes
Geological
sequestration of carbon dioxide
Industrial

The Japanese Islands are
situated in a place where the Pacific plate slides into the Eurasia
plate, which is of great academically interested in.
Moreover, natural disasters, such as earthquakes and volcanico eruptions,
often frighten the life of the Japanese people.
We also offer a variety of technologies in these fields.
