- *1
A concept to promote the reconstruction of industrial infrastructure and the creation of a new community in Hama-dori in Fukushima
- *2
A highly efficient power generation method that can reduce CO2 emissions. The large-scale IGCC is technology developed in Fukushima ahead of anywhere else in the world.
- *3
A concept that aims to make the entire Fukushima Prefecture into a hub of creating models for a "new energy society" by increasing the use of renewable energies.
