Systematization of Energy Study and Policy for Future R & D

从1987年到1993年，优先领域“能源转换和高效利用”的研究被一个多学科的研究术语所取代，在材料、转换技术、利用技术以及社会经济和系统方面积累了各种新的发现和成果。然而，在完成项目后，我们注意到还有许多复杂的困难仍然没有解决能源的供应和利用。因此，我们在1994年制定了本项目，目的是对未来的能源研究、研究和高等教育的组织有坚实的想法。本项目的主旨成果总结如下：1.迄今获得的各种认识和观点都从社会经济和自然(光、热、电、材料、生物等)进行了重新整理。科学的观点，以及能源供应、转化利用和系统工程的观点。然后，对未来的研究和开发项目进行了展望，如在城市化地区完全有效地利用能源。学术界、产业界和政府机构之间进行有效联合研究的必要性已得到强烈认可，学术界的建议和建议应得到认真对待，以确保联合项目的合理性。预计这一观点将在JSPS.3的区域工作队项目中得到落实。建立一所能源科学研究生院一直是人们强烈渴望的。在本项目许多成员的真诚努力下，京都大学于1996年成立了一名应届毕业生。该学院涵盖工程学与自然、社会经济和环境科学的跨学科领域。它还强调产业专家/公众公民的国内/国际合作活动和教育。

From 1987 to 1993, the Research on Priority Area "Energy Conversion and Utilization with High Effciency" had been excecuted by a multidisciplinary research term, and various new findings and results had been accumulated over the fields of material, conversion technology, utilization technology, and also the socio- economic and systems aspects. However, after finishing the project, we had noticed that still many complex difficulties had been left unsolved supply and utilization of energy.Thus we had strated, in 1994, the present project aiming at acquiring solid idea of future energy research, and organization for research and higher education. The keynote result the project are summarized as follows.1. Various knowings and perspectives obtained so far have been rearranged from socio-economic and natural (light, heat, electricity, material, living things etc.) scientific viewpoints, and also energy supply, conversion utilization and system engineering viewpoints. Then, a view over the future research and development projects has been acquired such as totally effecient utilization of energy in urbanized areas.2. Neccessity of effcient joint research efforts among academic, industrial and governmental bodies has been strongly recognized, and proposals and suggestions from the academia should be taken serious for soundness in joint projects. Such a view is expected to be implemented, e.g., in RFTF projects by JSPS.3. Founding of a graduate school of energy science, had been strongly desired. By the sincere efforts of many of the members of the present project, a new graduate is founded in kyoto University in 1996. The school covers interdisciplinary areas of engineering coupled with natural, socio-economic and environmental sciences. It also stresses the domestic/international collaborative activities and education of industrial experts/public citizens.
