The GX Leading Research Center at Hokkaido University will host the 4th GX Roundtable Meeting, "Storing Renewable Energy Heat and Connecting Regions: Latent Heat Storage - Current Status and Possibilities of Technology and Low-Temperature Heat Utilization."

 

Transforming "wasted heat" into valuable energy.

How can we store unused heat generated by industrial activities and local communities, and circulate it throughout society?

This meeting will delve into the cutting edge of latent heat storage technology developed by Hokkaido University, as well as the challenges and possibilities for its social implementation, from the perspectives of industry, government, and academia.

In addition to gaining insights into the cutting edge of technological development, we will share concrete examples of heat circulation models in local communities and explore new avenues for collaboration.

 

We look forward to your participation.
