Today, on November 18, a meeting was held at the Center for Innovative Science and Digital Technologies of the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan within the framework of the project “Improving the Decarbonized Heating System Using Geothermal Resources.”
The meeting was attended by the President of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, Academician Khushvakhtzoda Qobiljon Khushvakht, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Japan to Tajikistan, Ms. Furuta Keiko, a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan, as well as scientists and researchers from Tajikistan and Japan.
The President of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, Academician Khushvakhtzoda Qobiljon Khushvakht, stated in his speech that with the support of Akita University (Japan), the implementation of this project at the Center for Innovative Science and Digital Technologies of the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan will enable the development of modern decarbonized heating technology in the country and the efficient use of geothermal resources.
It was noted that today we gathered within the framework of the opening of the geothermal house dedicated to the iTAG-SATREPS project — “Improving the Decarbonized Heating System Using Geothermal Resources.” This project is implemented with the support of the international program “Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development” (SATREPS), Akita University (Japan), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at the Center for Innovative Science and Digital Technologies of the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan.
It was emphasized that the implementation of the project will allow the country’s heating system to be modernized using advanced methods, and at the same time, provide a solid foundation for training highly qualified national specialists. The use of geothermal heat is considered one of the priority areas for the development of green energy in the country.
Furthermore, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Japan to Tajikistan, Ms. Furuta Keiko, stated that bilateral cooperation in green energy and the implementation of modern technologies is of key importance for the sustainable development of Tajikistan, and the implementation of the decarbonized heating project is a clear example of such cooperation.
At the end of the meeting, participants exchanged views on effective project implementation, attracting international investors, and expanding scientific and practical cooperation.
