Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The aims and objectives of the research have been achieved, albeit the research initially faced delay due to the pandemic. A research assistant was hired to help with estimating plant-level emissions--information that is currently not available nor accounted for in the Philippines. Publication plans, as outlined in the project proposal, have also progressed smoothly and are in various stages of review.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The activities this fiscal year are focused on publication and dissemination. There are currently two co-edited book projects in the pipeline, aside from journal articles that are under review. Dissemination of research results in key academic and industry conferences are also scheduled. The output of this Kakenhi research also feeds into my current research under Kyoto University's Hakubi Project, thus ensuring continuity in the research.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The remaining amount will be used for publications and conferences.
