Foi assinada ontem em Lisboa uma Carta de Intenções entre o Ministério da Economia e Emprego de Portugal (MEE) e a Agência japonesa NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), estabelecendo uma parceria cobrindo uma vasta área das energias alternativas.
Nos termos da Carta de Intenções, tanto o MEE, como a NEDO, trocarão informações e experiências nas áreas das energias renováveis, eficácia energética e "smart communities", além de estabelecer intercâmbios de pessoal técnico e a realização de seminários para promover todas as vertentes das energias renováveis.
O seguinte anúncio foi hoje publicado, em inglês e japonês, em Tóquio:
Cooperation with the Government of Portugal in the Energy Field
Based on the LOI, NEDO and the Ministry of Economy and Employment will aim at realizing collaboration through the exchange of information related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and smart communities. Such collaboration as exchanging information and personnel, holding seminars, promoting international standardization, and formulating a master plan for a target city to realize a smart community are expected. The broad potential of technology development will be explored mainly in wind and pumped storage technology, photovoltaic technology, and thermal solar systems in the renewable energy field; zero energy buildings and positive energy buildings in the energy efficiency field; and smart grids and energy use management systems in the smart community field.
NEDO regards the LOI as an important step to mutual cooperation with the Ministry of Economy and Employment, and it is committed to contributing to solving energy issues common to both Portugal and Japan.
The LOI was signed by Mr. Hideo Hato, President of NEDO, and Mr. Carlos Oliveira, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Economy and Employment.
ポルトガル政府とエネルギー分野で協力
NEDOとポルトガル共和国経済雇用省(Ministry of Economy and Employment)は、3月13日、リスボンにおいて、エネルギー技術に関する広範な協力関係の構築を目指し、協力の合意文書（Letter of Intent）に署名しました。
この合意に基づいて、NEDOとポルトガル政府の関係者の間で、再生可能エネルギーや省エネルギー、スマートコミュニティといったエネルギー分野の情報交換などを進め、両国間の協力事業の具体化を目指します。協力事業として、エネルギー技術に関する情報の交換や人材の交流、セミナーの開催、国際標準化への取組み、特定の都市におけるスマートコミュニティ実現のマスタープランの策定などを想定しています。特に、再生可能エネルギーについては、風力・揚水発電技術、太陽光発電技術、太陽熱利用技術など、省エネルギーについては、エネルギー効率化技術、ゼロ・エナジー・ビル、ポジティブ・エナジー・ビルなど、スマートコミュニティについては、スマートグリッド、エネルギー管理システムなど、これらの分野を中心として幅広い可能性を探っていくこととしています。
NEDOとしては、この合意文書を重要な一歩として、今後の経済雇用省などとの協力を通じ、両国共通のエネルギー問題の解決に貢献していきます。
なお、この合意文書は、羽藤副理事長とオリヴェイラ副大臣との間で締結されました.
