2. Contents of the Program
I. Aim of LocZEE Program
The two graduate schools of Kanazawa University have set up Human Resource Development
Program for Locally Producible and Usable Sustainable Energy and Energy Storage (LocSEESprogram), from 2020. And in 2025, its successor, Human Resource Development Program forLocally Producible and Usable Zero Emission Energy (LocZEE program), was established.
Through the program we will develop human resources for solar cells, biomass power generation

and storage using innovative organic materials. The aim is to realize a low-carbon society, by
local production / consumption and zero emission energy supply. The students study mainly
Chemistry, Energy-related chemistry, Energy-related material sciences, and Nano-sciences.

II. Curriculum of LocZEE Program1)
