Toward a "Zero-emission Society"


Exective Officer,
Director General
Haruhiko Obara

Our mission is to develop “low carbon society” with “sustainable harmonization of industry and environment”, which corresponds to current international challenges to energy and environmental issues, for example Paris agreement and SDGs. To promote green innovation, AIST is developing technologies for increased use of alternative energy technologies, such as renewable energy sources that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (energy creation), high-density storage of energy (energy storage), highly efficient conversion and use of energy (energy saving), effective utilization of energy resources, and evaluation and reduction of environmental risk.
