ASG Superconductors and the University of Chubu sign a memorandum of understanding for the development of superconducting cables.
Superconducting technologies can help meet the expectations of the energy transition and a carbon-free world.
ASG Superconductors develops lossless cable
The transmission of energy over long distances generally poses environmental problems.
Lines often have a large ecological footprint, and heat is generated by energy loss.
However, superconducting technologies such as those from ASG Superconductors greatly reduce environmental impact.
They are lossless, and even reduce installation and operating costs.
A key role in the energy transition
Superconductor cables like those from ASG will play a significant role in the energy transition.
All areas of activity with high energy consumption should benefit from them.
What’s more, as the world moves towards a predominantly renewable energy model, the advent of superconductor technologies is all the more eagerly awaited.
ASG benefits from over 60 years’ experience in the development of superconductor technologies.
Chubu University, for its part, supports the development of superconducting technologies with the Japanese government and Japanese industries.
The University also participated in the construction and operation of the world’s longest transmission line.
