In response to the global trend towards decarbonization, there is growing anticipation for next-generation energy sources such as solar power, wind power, and biomass power generation. The market is expected to continue growing. While next-generation energy holds great promise for the future of society, there are also numerous challenges to overcome. This event will disseminate information on technological innovations, policy support, and corporate efforts to promote these technologies, making next-generation energy a key to unlocking the future.
Reports
【Reflection】
"In this program, discussions were held on initiatives towards GX from the perspectives of industry, government, and academia, covering the entire spectrum from upstream to downstream in energy generation, usage, and utilization. The program introduced corporate efforts to generate greener energy and global initiatives to utilize it. Furthermore, through lectures by companies, local governments, and the infrastructure supporting them towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the sessions provided an opportunity to deepen understanding of Japan's current situation, the path it should take, and the beneficial use of energy."
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
we recognize that initiatives towards GX are one of the social issues. We also believe that it will lead to the development of new industries. Therefore, through continuous dissemination, we hope to contribute to supporting Japan's industry with next-generation energy.
