Class flow

In the first class, the overview of the lecture is explained.Attendance is taken in every class.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 prof. Akira YAMADA, dept. of electrical engineering, School of Engineering This class provides materials ranging from basics to application in energy science. The overall structure of this course is designed by using “hydrogen economy” as a keyword. Introductory lecture is provided, regarding to the purpose of this course, a wide-ranging world of energy, and relations of consisting components of techno-economic systems. Explain outline of hydrogen energy based society.
Class 2 Prof. Yukitaka Kato, Laboratory for Advanced Nuclear Energy, the Institute of Innovative Research “Hydrogen energy system and hydrogen technologies”: Outlook of hydrogen energy system and hydrogen technologies for overcoming of technological bottle neck are lectured. Understanding of overcoming technological bottle necks in hydrogen energy system and technologies
Class 3 Associate prof. Yuya Kajikawa, dept. of innovation science, School of environment and society. Students obtain deep understandings of management of technology via discussions on hydrogen energy, whose perspectives are consisted from research and development (R&D) management in energy technology, technology assessment, structural analysis on business ecosystems, and methodologies in innovation management. deep understandings of various methodologies in management of technology via hydrogen energy
Class 4 Institute Professor Ken Okazaki, Global Hydrogen Energy Unit, the Institute of Innovative Research “Essential meaning of hydrogen energy and future prospect” Essential meaning of introducing hydrogen energy is explained on the standpoint of energy security and global environment, and prospect of innovation and globalization of hydrogen supply chain toward the hydrogen society is discussed including an effort of Tokyo Tech. learn mechanical engineering related to hydrogen energy and the visions
Class 5 Dr. Hideyuki Takagi, Research Institute of Energy Frontier, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) “Trends on research and development (R&D) of hydrogen energy technologies and implementations by AIST” The class provides the outline of R&D in policy side for deployment and promotion of hydrogen energy systems, and R&D implementations on hydrogen and energy carrier in AIST. Trends on research and development (R&D) of hydrogen energy technologies and implementations by AIST dan be understood.
Class 6 M.Sc. Ko Sakata, The Institute of Applied Energy “Role of hydrogen energy systems for the low carbon society (LCS)” Discussions are provided on technology and economic issues assessed by energy modeling, specifically focus on the roles of CO2-free hydrogen energy systems in LCS. Introductory explanations are also provided for the governmental supported think-tank, co-working with industry and government. Role of hydrogen energy systems for the low carbon society (LCS) is provided.
