For the sustainable development of mankind, the effective use of energy resources and the preservation of the global environment are two of the most important problems to be solved. To tackle these problems, a wide variety of research activities are promoted in a positive manner in the fields of energy and the environment.

With our goals being better fuel consumption and cleaner exhaust emissions, we have been striving to analyze the combustion mechanisms in an engine, propose new combustion methods, and develop catalysts for cleaning exhaust gas. And, in the search for new sources of power, we are developing secondary batteries and fuel cells, solar cells, and more. Using environmental protection technologies such as atmospheric measuring and prediction, plastic and rubber recycling, we will identify which environmental responses are needed for both people and the earth.
