Hitachi-UTokyo Laboratory: Sixth Industry-Academia Collaboration Forum
Toward Realizing Energy Systems to Support Society 5.0
Growth Strategies Advancing in Tandem with Carbon Neutrality from Vision to Realization
Highlight
The Hitachi-UTokyo Laboratory has been publishing proposals titled "Toward Realizing Energy Systems to Support Society 5.0" since 2018. These include a wide range of suggestions related to energy transition scenarios, based on energy supply and demand simulations generated by backcasting from 2050. This sixth industry-academia collaboration forum included a review of Hitachi-UTokyo Laboratory's past activities and explored themes of "Growth Strategies Advancing in Tandem with Carbon Neutrality" and "Japan in the Midst of Geopolitical Changes in Terms of Climate, Energy, and the Environment." This led to discussions from such perspectives as the structural changes that are needed in society and industry to realize carbon neutrality and their impact on energy systems; the direction that should be taken for energy infrastructure; and the systems and policies needed to support this.
