Energy and Environment Policy

Research on energy and environmental policies

- Analysis of supply, demand, market and price at home and abroad to diagnose industrial growth potential and market structure.
- Analysis of the economic feasibility and social added value of original technology.
- Research on climate change agreements and international relations.
- Research on governmental policies to support earlier application of advanced and core technologies.
- Research on policies to link patents related to original technology to the real economy and commercialize them
