JCN Newswire (英)
The Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) is calling for research
proposals from Japan for 2019 under the Hydrogen Research
Initiative established in 2017.
This initiative is part of TMF's goal to promote sustainable
mobility. It recognizes that pairing carbon-free hydrogen systems
with renewable energies contributes to energy sustainability. It
also underscores the foundation's commitment to tackle
energy-related issues such as environmental degradation and
resource depletion.
Shifting the world to hydrogen-based systems for energy supply and
consumption is a heavily discussed topic, however cost remains a
daunting obstacle for execution. For this reason, the Toyota
Mobility Foundation seeks projects that demonstrate progress in
reducing carbon dioxide emissions and lowering the cost of
hydrogen. When screening the submitted proposals, TMF will
emphasize innovations in the generation, storage, transportation,
and use of hydrogen.
In 2017, TMF launched a five-year program to provide grants for
fundamental and innovative research that helps develop a "hydrogen
society." They also assembled a screening panel of hydrogen and
energy experts from universities and public-sector institutes in
Japan to assess the research programs and select the grant
recipients. Grantees from the first and second year of the program
continue to discuss their research with panel members.
Applicants from both universities and public-sector institutions in
Japan are invited to submit proposals in the following research
fields
1. Hydrogen generation
2. Hydrogen storage and transport
3. Hydrogen applications
4. Energy systems
5. Social systems utilizing hydrogen
TMF is targeting young researchers who represent the next
generation to participate in the program. They also encourage
repurposing knowledge and technology from other fields to the
research of hydrogen.
