International Workshop for Sustainable Energy Conversion Systems 2024

organized by The Heat Transfer Society of Japan.

Introduction

The Heat Transfer Society of Japan will hold "The International Workshop on Sustainable Energy Conversion Systems (IWSEC) 2024" co-located with The 61st Japan Heat Transfer Symposium (May 29 - 31, 2024, Kobe). This workshop will focus on emerging sustainable energy conversion systems, including de-carbonized energy careers, fuel cells, water electrolysis, secondary batteries, and thermal and chemical energy storage systems. We will share cutting-edge research and development and discuss future perspectives.
