Overview

To realize a drastic reduction of GHG emissions by 2050, this area focuses on the stable securing of energy and on efficiency of energy use: energy saving technologies, higher efficiency of renewable energy, and stabilization of energy use through hydrogen or energy storage.
(Excerpt from "About research areas for setting a prioritized theme" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT))

Since FY2023, the “Low Carbon Society” mission area has been managed in an integrative manner with ALCA-Next (Advanced Technologies for Carbon-Neutral). Projects starting full-scale research in FY2024 or later are promoted in the ALCA-Next.
