Energy Committee
1.Aim of activity
① As various efforts are underway to achieve carbon neutrality, we are focusing on emergency response, vulnerability, and resilience in the event of abnormalities such as pandemics, the war in Ukraine, energy supply disruptions, and damage to energy and infrastructure due to typhoons and heavy rains. We will deepen our understanding through wide-ranging discussions about social issues and sustainable energy management systems, which are important when considering mobility and energy.
② Understand future energy trends, which are essential when considering future automobile technology.
③ Understand future changes in the value of mobility itself from a social perspective.
④ In particular, deepen understanding regarding energy for transportation through discussions from both the automobile side and the energy supply side.
⑤ Indicate the direction we should take to realize a sustainable automobile society.
