Program CFP Registration Dates Organization Venue

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.
