Solar energy is most abundant of all energy resources and an important energy source for production of green hydrogen and other fuels. In this taskforce, pre-competitive and non-competitive area of solar energy technologies are focused on under global collaboration.

Hydrogen and its derivatives are important energy carriers to sustain massive scale deployment of variable renewable energies. The scope covers hydrogen production, storage and application including transformation to chemicals or fuels. As a commonality, social acceptance such as risk analysis and life cycle analysis could be a target of the Taskforce.

Energy Management System is crucial for higher penetration of variable renewable energy and complete transformation of power system. Important key innovation areas for stable and reliable energy supply are energy storage, smart grid and system integration utilizing digital technologies. Standardization and regulation such as grid codes are also important elements for global collaboration.
