In order to ensure a secure long-term supply of natural gas, improve the self-sufficiency of natural gas supplies, and enhance the energy efficiency of natural gas application technologies, we are conducting research and development of production technologies to securely and economically produce natural gas from methane hydrate resources. Furthermore, we are developing natural gas transportation and storage technologies making use of the physical properties of gas hydrates, for commercial applications. We are also serving as a global platform to promote technology transfers and human resource development for the future commercialization of the technologies developed through AIST’s researcher invitation programs and methane hydrate development projects.Large-scale methane gas production system【 Outline 】【 Director 】 Hideo Narita【 Deputy Director 】Takao Ebinuma【 Deputy Director 】Norio TemmaResearch Center for New Fuels and Vehicle TechnologyComprehensive development and standardization of fuel and engine system technologies aimed at the widespread use of next-generation vehicles utilizing new fuels and enginesURL : http://unit.aist.go.jp/nfv/cie/E-mail : nfv-web-ml@aist.go.jpAIST Tsukuba East, 1-2-1 Namiki, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8564, Japan Tel: (029) 861-7265 / Fax: (029) 861-7089 (from outside Japan: Tel: +81-29-861-7265 / Fax: +81-29-861-7089)【 Research Base 】 AIST Tsukuba (East, Central, West)Dimethyl ether (DME) vehicle【 Director 】 Shinichi Goto【 Deputy Director 】Hideaki Hamada【 Outline 】Global energy demand has shown rapid growth in recent years, giving rise to concerns over unstable oil supplies. There is also an increasing need for significant reductions in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, it is essential to reduce hazardous substances in vehicle exhausts as much as possible to protect air quality. Under these circumstances, in order to promote the widespread use of new green vehicle fuels (clean fuels of biomass origin and fossil origin), improve vehicle energy efficiency, and make vehicle exhaust gases super-clean, we are integrating individual pioneering technologies, conducting comprehensive technology development in close collaboration with industry, developing fuel standards essential for the widespread use of new fuels, and standardizing methods for measuring and evaluating vehicle exhaust emissions. We are also developing an international network of researchers by inviting domestic and international researchers, dispatching researchers, and conducting collaborative research, and are working to serve as an innovation hub to disseminate new fuel and vehicle technologies and related basic technologies.【 AIST Participating Technology Research Association 】International Standard Innovation Technology Research Association (IS-INOTEK)15Organization and OutlineEnvironment and Energy
