Polygeneration are highly energy integrated systems covering
conventional cogeneration, trigeneration, as well astechnologies for producing fuels and other valuable subproducts such as potable water and dry air, among others.

1ST ANNOUNCEMENT
5th International Conference on Polygeneration(ICP 2019)

May 15–17, 2019
I2CNER, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, JapanORGANIZER:ICP 2019 Organizing Committee
CO-ORGANIZERS:
International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research(WPI-I2CNER), Kyushu University

CONFERENCE OUTLINE
The main objective of the polygeneration concept is to createa sustainable energy society based on a combination of energy
savings, efficient use of fossil fuels and increasing the use ofrenewable energy. The polygeneration approach focuses on
the basis of delivering more than one form of energy to thefinal user. The energy supplied to the system could be
provided by conventional sources, including fossil fuels,renewable energy or a combination of them. For example:
electricity, heating, cooling and dehumidification can be
simultaneously delivered from one polygeneration plant.

SCOPE
The fifth International Conference on Polygeneration, (ICP2019) primarily aims at bringing together scientists andexperts in polygeneration systems based on both renewables
and conventional fuels. In addition to these systems, thefollowing related technological advancements are included:
fuel cells, heat pumps, sorption systems as well as otherenergy conversion and/or storage systems. Furthermore,common concerns including materials reactivity, heat andmass transfer, durability, stability under high-temperature andsevere conditions, and system economic analysis, will beconsidered. The scope is to provide researchers with different
aspects of multi-dimensional processes in energy conversion
and to promote a multidisciplinary interexchange of ideas
across subjects.

ATTRACTIVE PLACES IN FUKUOKA
Fukuoka City is located in thenorthern part of Kyushu, borderedon three sides by mountains andopening into the Japan Sea to thenorth. The climate is comparatively
mild. With geographical proximity
to the Korean Peninsula and the
Asian continent, Fukuoka City boasts more than 2000-year history
of international exchange as a trading port.

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
This shrine worships Michizane
Sugawara as “God of Scholarship”. In901, Michizane was suddenly demoted
from Udaijin (Minister of the Right) toan official of Dazaifu, and died in thisplace two years after. The Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine was built at his
final resting place. The present main shrine (important cultural asset)
was built in 1591.
