Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aimed to develop a methodology for supporting the design of sustainable energy systems, taking into account low-carbon society and circular society. The research questions addressed here were: How a variety of energy-saving and -generating products will be disseminated in the future and how such dissemination will impact on the energy system?
To answer these questions, this research developed a system called "Material-energy Nexus Scenario Simulator" to describe and analyze future scenarios. In a case study, future scenarios were described for photovoltaic (PV) panels to verify the effectiveness of the developed system.
