Energy Conversion and Energy Storage Area
Program Officer (PO)
Overview
This technology area aims to make renewable energies our primary power sources, develop innovative technologies that utilize hydrogen energy and develop Energy storage technology essential to support the transformation to a sustainable energy system.
In the energy conversion field, In addition to inexpensive, efficient, and convenient technologies for converting solar energy, we will conduct on inexpensive, energy-saving technologies for the synthesis and use of hydrogen energy carriers.
In the energy storage field, we will conduct on storage technology that utilizes waste heat in the medium and low temperature and more versatile, economical, and environmentally friendly electricity storage technologies for a wide range of applications, from small electricity storage devices used in our daily lives to large-scale electricity storage devices in power grids that promote the use of renewable energy sources, having highly variable output.
An emphasis will be placed on the premise that the proposed technology can contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire process chain from the perspective of energy and material flows.
