Outline of AIST Session

Aims of the session

Global sustainability compatible with economic growth and stable energy supply requires more advanced technological progress than ever. This global challenge could be addressed not by a single country but through international collaboration, which potentially gives us breakthrough by the multilateral approach.

In this symposium, on-going international collaborations between AIST and research institutes abroad are reported on various energy R&D, and their role and perspective are discussed. Cutting edge of present situations of hydrogen storage, microgrid and power device are presented.


This program is a special session of Renewable Energy 2010, and is open for anybody without registration to Renewable Energy 2010.
