Research Activities

@Energy policy in Japan includes the development of new energy resources, global and large area energy systems from the viewpoints of energy conservation and protection of the environment. In this context, extensive investigations are under way at MEL into wind power generation, energy generation from hydrogen, eco-energy systems, and ceramics gas turbines. The work also includes development of advanced reciprocating engines and direct power generation methods. Inaddition, research aimed at environmental protection includes studies of fixation of carbon dioxide in the deep sea, the electric vehicle and development of thechniques for the reduction of emissions from diesel engines.
