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.

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.
