2009 Case Studies and Supplementary Information Environmental Annual Report Honda 2009 Case Studies and Supplementary Information Environmental information disclosure Honda discloses its environmental policies and practices in the CSR Report, in the Honda Environmental Annual Report and on its website (http://world.honda.com/environment/). The CSR Report outlines Honda’s environmental initiatives in an easy-to-understand way. The Environmental Annual Report presents in greater detail Honda’s fundamental policies and future direction with respect to the environment, as well as the results of the year’s environmental initiatives. In addition to covering both general and specific environmental information, the website presents the history of Honda’s environmental initiatives. Starting this year, Honda is presenting the report in two parts: “Honda Environmental Annual Report 2009” and “Hon- da Environmental Annual Report 2009: Case Studies and Supplementary Information” are both available on the website, and “Honda Environmental Annual Report 2009” is also available in printed form. As restructured, the printed Report will play an even stronger role in our Plan, Do, Check and Act (PDCA) process for environmental initiatives. The Case Studies and Supplementary Information document supplements the information con- tained in the printed Report, introduces additional initiatives in each domain and presents Substances of Concern output data for each Honda facility and product area. Honda produces the Honda Environmental Annual Report based on internal guidelines. By disclosing a wide range of information, we hope to facilitate communication and feedback, thereby strengthening our environmental conservation initiatives going forward. Global Operations and Marketplace Advancing operations in six regions Driven by its philosophy of building products close to the customer, Honda manufactures its products in six different regions worldwide. In FY2009 we delivered 23 million units to customers around the world. Always conscious of the environmental impact of its operations, Honda is working hard to take environmental responsibility to ever higher lev- els around the world. In 2006 Honda became the world’s first automaker to announce global CO2 reduction goals for its products and production activities. It also implemented a proactive strategy to help stabilize climate change, taking efforts to even higher levels. As a global manufacturer, Hon- da strives to develop products with the lowest in-use CO2 emissions manufactured at plants with the lowest per-unit CO2 emissions. Honda Group companies worldwide continue to advance a wide range of ini- tiatives for the reduction of environmental impact.

The main sources of acceleration noise are the engine, the intake and exhaust systems, and the tires. The technologies listed below were implemented in the Insight released in February 2009 in Japan to suppress engine and intake and exhaust noise, reducing exterior noise to 72 dBA, lower than the 76 dBA required by regulations. Principal noise/vibration reduction technologies • Engine noise reduction technology • Intake noise/radiant noise • Exhaust noise/radiant noise · High-rigidity cylinder block reduction technology reduction technology · High-rigidity crankshaft · High-volume, high-rigidity air · Noise-absorbing chamber · High-rigidity chain case cleaner · Long tailpipe silencer · Stiffener, integrated aluminum oil · High-volume, high-rigidity resonator · 2-layer heat cover pan chamber · Hood insulation · Engine compartment undercover Silencer Resonator chamber Air cleaner Chamber 4 Honda Environmental Annual Report 2009: Case Studies and Supplementary Information Reduction of in-vehicle VOCs Since October 2007, all Honda automobiles sold in Japan have met the guidelines for in-vehicle VOC content man- dated by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Honda is the first automaker to achieve these standards for all automobiles, including commercial vehicles. Case Studies Exhaust emissions Even cleaner Odyssey emissions The completely redesigned, fourth- generation Honda Odyssey was released in October 2008. It is available with a 2.4-liter Integrated cylinder head i-VTEC engine that combines reduced exhaust manifold precious metals content with enhanced Linear A/F sensor emissions performance. The latest model High-heat-resistanct O2 sensor features a newly developed integrated catalytic converter cylinder head exhaust manifold and an Under-the-floor catalytic converter extremely heat-resistant catalytic converter located directly beneath the manifold. Together, these technologies maintain a highly efficient system for purifying exhaust emissions with reduced use of rare precious metals. The Odyssey features a linear air-fuel ratio sensor, an oxygen sensor and an air-flow sensor for high-precision air-fuel ratio control, while a high-atomizing fuel injector helps reduce exhaust emissions. These technologies give the Odyssey enhanced emissions performance, allowing certain types to be certified as very low-emission vehicles by Japan’s MLIT. Introduced in 1994, the Odyssey reached cumulative sales of one million units in Japan in February 2009. Designing the 3R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle) Resin intake manifold in Insight Honda sought to maximize fuel efficiency and environ- mental performance in every detail of the 1.3-liter gasoline engine that serves as the Insight’s main source of power. Be- tween the cylinder heads and the intake manifold, Honda placed an EGR plate with highly efficient exhaust pathways. The implementation of this technology allowed for the use of a lightweight composite-resin intake manifold, helping to reduce overall vehicle weight.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between estuarine fauna and macro scale physical indicators on Kyushu Island, Japan to provide basic information for estuarine conservation. As a result of the classification of shellfish fauna by similarity, the Kyushu region was divided into three groups, namely, 1) southern Kyushu with high wave exposure, long fetch, and low tidal variation; 2) the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas with low wave exposure, short fetch, and high tidal variation; and 3) northern Kyushu with an intermediate fetch and tidal variation. In addition, a number of sites, such as Nakatsu Port, Sone tideland, and the Honmyou River, were classified into geographically different groups. This is because the physical characteristics of these sites were similar to classified groups or shellfish fauna were significantly altered by artificial impacts. As a result of discriminant analysis, the discrimination hit rate of species inhabiting the inner bay or tidal flat was high, whereas that for species using a wide variety of bottom sediment environment was low.

  • Flood Control in Small Urban Rivers: an Example of River Projects in Tokyo
    Urban Water 215 Flood control in small urban rivers: an example of river projects in Tokyo K. Sato1, K. Masuhara1, S. Mochida1, T. Yamamoto2, H. Gotoh3 & M. Takezawa3 1Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Japan 2Chuo College of Technology, Japan 3Department of Civil Engineering, Nihon University, Japan Abstract The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has conducted a variety of river projects to protect citizens and their property from damage due to flooding, storm surges, and landslides. Projects have also been undertaken to improve and create riversides that support nature, and to protect and restore the natural environment. The hardening of urban and inner city areas with high population densities and developed areas have relatively poor water retention and flood prevention properties. Consequently, these areas have sustained extensive water damage during times of heavy rainfall and flooding. Indeed, extensive flood damage was observed in downtown areas as recently as September 2005 and August 2008, demonstrating the need to implement additional flood mitigation measures to prevent flood damage in the metropolitan area. The number of rivers currently under the direct management of the TMG is 61 class A rivers and two class B rivers, which together measure 494.82 km. In addition, the city office of the TMG also controls 33 class A rivers and 13 class B rivers, which together equal 215.91 km. The main projects undertaken by the TMG is small river development, reinforce of lowland, improvement of the river environment for ecology, improvement of sediment disaster control facilities, development of software programs, river enlightenment activities and improved shoreline protection measures. In 2010, the total costs of river projects amounted to approximately JPY 65 billion.
