Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research investigated emerging energy technologies and their cost structures. We visualized research trend and extracted emerging domains by bibliometrics. Our comparative analysis revealed most of research in Japan on energy technologies are in engineering domain but less active in natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. And we found that introduction of safety nuclear power technologies, carbon capture storage, hydrogen and rechargeable batteries will increase energy supply cost 2-3 times. In addition, we investigated necessary factors in social implementation of energy technology by a case study in an island. In future research, cost and value assessment and strategic research and development planning based on energy system design are necessary.
