As climate change contributes to more powerful Pacific storms, a new research center wants to better understand the threats they pose and utilize the energy they generate to help Japan reach zero carbon emissions.
The center also aims to promote research to make typhoons into a source of renewable energy that can contribute to Japan's goal of achieving carbon neutrality.
A research institute solely dedicated to studying typhoons opened earlier this month at Yokohama National University near Tokyo, becoming the first of its kind in Japan, a country that regularly suffers typhoon damage.
