Scope and Topics

Objective

The conference aims to provide a platform for promoting collaborations among professional societies and enhancing the technical exchanges in the power engineering community regarding thermal power, distributed energy system including power utilization and energy storage, renewable energy, environmental issues including low-carbon, CCS, CCUS and waste to energy, and the other energy related topics. Hydrogen is expected to be a key fuel for energy storage of natural energy, low-quality coal utilization, and low-carbon energy systems. The conference site, Kobe, is now promoting the Hydrogen Smart City Kobe Initiative.
