Science Castle Research Grant 2019, Honda Award
The world is moving toward energy conversion and decarbonization from fossil fuels for reasons of global environmental concerns and resource issues. Hydrogen energy, in particular, has the potential to become increasingly accessible, as evidenced by the formulation of the "Basic Strategy for Hydrogen" by the Japanese government, which looks ahead to the year 2050.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has been working on the "Next Generation Hydrogen Education Project" with RIVANES since 2015 to promote a correct understanding of hydrogen energy by facing hydrogen energy with the concept of "Create, Use, and Connect" for hydrogen production, utilization, and application, Science Castle Research Fund Honda Award will be established again this year to foster the next generation of hydrogen energy research personnel. The award is open to any research projects, including not only hydrogen fuel cells, but also solutions to local issues using hydrogen energy. We are looking for meaningful research with a view to the future hydrogen society. The selected team will receive a research grant and a hydrogen fuel cell set to learn the basics.
