Message from Director


Prof. Osamu Miki
Director, Research Center for
Sustainable Energy and Technology

Research Center for Sustainable Energy and Technology (RSET) has been established in April, 2011 to be a core research center of green innovation for a recycle-oriented society supported by secure and sustainable energy production technology. RSET is composed of five divisions: Division of Organic Solar Cells, Division of Renewable Energy, Division of Carbon Circulation Technology, Division of Energy and Environmental Materials, Division of Unutilized Biomass Energy. RSET promotes research on efficient conversion, creation and recycling of the energy that is produced and consumed locally in a so-called "local production and consumption" system, using renewable energy such as wind power, solar power and waste energy like biomass produced in Hokuriku region. We aim to contribute to the bright future of world's people through such research and education.   I succeeded Professor Mitsunobu Takahashi as the director of RSET from April, 2016 after five years passed from the establishment of RSET. I will promote not only the research activities of each division but also the collaborative research activities among five divisions by the new creation of the cross-field technology and system technology to achieve the purpose of RSET. We will appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
