Energy
F-REI’s five research areas
Achieve carbon neutrality in the region by utilizing existing hydrogen-related facilities, etc. Also contribute to the realization of pioneering smart communities
In order to make Fukushima a pioneer of carbon neutrality in Japan, conduct research and development related to energy production, storage, transportation, and utilization, with a focus on renewable energy, while also addressing risk assessment, legal regulation, and establishment of technological standards with the aim of social implementation. Promote research on the use of hydrogen, ammonia, etc. as energy, as well as on CO2 capture and the utilization of CO2 as an energy source. Demonstrate that carbon neutrality and even negative emissions are possible based on the use of renewable energy, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through implementation of such system.
