Research and Development 20 for clean energy technologies (RD20)

Breakthrough innovation is key for achieving virtuous cycle of environment and growth by developing new technology solutions for energy transitions. For breakthrough innovations, it is important to make the best use of world-leading expertise and knowledge. Ideas and experiences associated with such global expertise and knowledge are expected to be a catalyst to produce concrete actions for promoting innovation.

In line with the government initiative, the international conference “Research and Development 20 for clean energy technologies (RD20)” has been held since 2019 by gathering together the heads of leading R&D institutes from G20 members. The RD20 will provide participants an opportunity for exchanging R&D activities and experiences, best practices and ideas related to current and emerging issues associated with clean energy technologies in their respective countries, and to explore the potential for international collaboration including joint R&D projects among leading R&D institutes.

 

Talks from Fraunhofer ISE is going to be held at both sessions.

    Technical Sessons: Theme 3  Hydrogen    Dr. Christopher Hebling (Oct 1st (Thu.) 20:00-21:30 (JST))

    Leaders' Session: Short presentation from 23 institutions    Prof. Dr. Hans-Martin Henning    (Oct 9th (Fri.) 14:34-15:44 (JST))
