Energy, climate change and green growth have been the most impending national agenda for the last decade and persistingly will be. The National Agenda Research Division is established to provide the solutions to these agenda by developing core competencies in the areas of renewable energy, carbon cycle, water cycle and convergence of systems. These core competencies are believed to play a critical role not only to expedite the adaption to the new energy and environmental paradigm but also to create green industry. We welcome international as well as domestic collaborations with universities, research institutes and industries. The division consists of eight research centers: fuel cell research center, solar cell research center, energy storage center, clean energy center, water research center, environmental sensor system research center, energy mechanics research center and Human-centered interaction & Robotics research center.
