Abstract :
Energy storage is one of the most important technologies for next generation energy system. Research and development (R&D) from basic to application are being conducted by industries, universities, national laboratories around the world. Japan is also very active on energy storage R&D, especially on Li-ion batteries not only for electric vehicles but also for stationary application. The government is operating, 1) Li-ion battery R&D program for vehicles, 2) innovative battery R&D program that pursues a next generation battery based on a complete new principle, and 3) large scale stationary battery R&D program. The details and perspectives on Japanese R&D activities will be presented.
