Overview | Conduct preliminary research for developing practical application and verification to establish specific methods for addressing challenges, clarify the prospects for commercialization, and formulate development and implementation scenarios. | Technology development that utilizes existing technologies, know-how, and other relevant assets owned by companies, universities, and similar entities as a basis to achieve applications and adaptations contributing to energy conservation. Projects under this category generally aim for commercialization within 3 years after the completion of the development. | Technical development focused on overcoming obstacles hindering commercialization and acquiring verification data that facilitates more reliable commercialization. Projects under this category generally aim for prompt commercialization after the completion of development. | Development of unified evaluation methods for innovative technologies development and new technologies aimed at addressing common challenges within an industry and challenges spanning different industries. This involves collaboration and cooperation among multiple entities to set themes (technologies development challenges) that should be addressed collectively. The goal is to achieve energy savings through the practical implementation and widespread adoption of the developed technologies. Projects under this category generally aim for commercialization within three years after completion of development. |
* The maximum cost on technological development is the total annual project cost (the NEDO subsidy amount + the amount paid by the implementer).
Adoption results
In this project, NEDO supports the development of a wide range of energy-saving technologies. In the industrial sector, this includes technologies for energy-efficient manufacturing processes, energy-saving systems, processing technologies, and acceleration technologies for energy-efficient products. The residential and commercial sectors focus on Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) and Zero Energy Houses (ZEH), energy-efficient information equipment and systems, and comfortable and energy-efficient human factors. In the transportation sector, the emphasis is on next-generation vehicles, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and Smart Logistics Systems. In the energy conversion and supply sector, NEDO focuses on high-efficiency thermal power generation, next-generation power distribution technologies, Cogeneration, and heat utilization systems. As cross-sectoral technologies, NEDO supports innovative energy management technologies, power electronics, next-generation heat pump systems, and more.
