NEDO’s Accomplishments
For more than 30 years, NEDO has been promoting the development of manykinds of energy-related technologies.

Energy storage
Residential fuel cells
Succeeded in generating power froma 1 kW module in 1995

GeothermalGreatly improved the economic viabilityof deep geothermal resource exploration

Photovoltaics
Successfully reduced the cost of solar powercell production to less than 1/200 (20,000—30,000 yen/W → 100 yen/W)

Superconductivity
Developed the world’s first 70,000 kW
superconducting generator and succeeded inproducing 80,000 kW over 700 hours

Testing was conducted on a 10 MWhsingle cell battery using materials anddata needed to develop a 100 MWhsingle cell battery and a multi-kWh
battery packGas turbines

Succeeded in operating a ceramicgas turbine with an inlet temperatureof 1350 ℃ and achieving a thermalFostering Technology-Based Startups

Achieving the Paris Agreement’s Targets
TSC Energy system & Hydrogen Unit Promoting the large-scale introduction of variable renewable energy will be
important. To decrease up to 80% of the total global greenhouse gas emissions,promoting discontinuous innovation will also be very important.

Global warming gas emissions(CO2 equivalent)(global total of intended nationally determined contributions) Introduction and widespread
application of promising innovativetechnologies identified in NESTI 2050

ca. 24 billion tons

 Future improvement and wider
application of existing technologies
 Creation and discovery of potential
innovations

ca. 50 billion tons
