Japan Council for Renewable Energy (JCRE)

2.Greeting by President

Japan Council for Renewable Energy (JCRE) was established to promote renewable energy R&D and deployment under collaboration with AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), NEF (New Energy Foundation) and strong support by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), in June, 2007, after the International Conference and Exhibition "Renewable Energy 2006" was held for the first time in Japan. It restarted as a non-profit organization in January, 2016.

JCRE covers not only individual technical fields but also policy, new concept, architecture, hydrogen, energy network etc. to provide total view of renewable energy integration to society. Since 2006, 4 international conferences (every four years, the latest one was in June, 2018 in Yokohama) and 13 international exhibitions and forums (every year) have been held to show and share latest technology and future of renewable energy.

Although deployment of renewable energy has spread rapidly and widely, to overcome fossil fuel limitation and global warming, still various supports are necessary to sustain. And limitations of traditional energy infrastructures have also become evident. To further promote renewable energy, well-designed policy and new technologies for large scale storage&transport, smart control and grid connection etc. are needed, and sharing these new knowledge is essential to accelerate renewable energy deployment.

We will continuously contribute to acceleration of renewable energy integration to society by holding regular international conferences and exhibitions under collaboration with experts of academic societies, industries, international institutes and governments.
