Course description
!!!This class will be closed in 2023.!!!

To realize a carbon-neutral society, companies and nations are required to take positive action with social responsibility. Especially the choice of energy is one of the important actions.
The conversion to renewable energy greatly contributes to CO2 reduction, but it also has the disadvantage of having uneven distribution in the region and unstable output characteristics. Some countries have policies to increase the proportion of nuclear power with stable output. In other countries, large-scale introduction of storage batteries and conversion to hydrogen fuel are also being considered.
The purpose of this lecture is to learn cutting-edge information on future energy supply and demand scenarios and elemental technologies related to energy through reading class materials in turn, and to discuss what actions, policies and technological innovations are necessary to realize a carbon-neutral society.
In addition, high English skill is required because discussions will be done in English.
