Programs
The New Sunshine Project has multiple programs, the first one being "World Energy Net-work (WE-NET) research program" that was running from 1993-2002 Another program was the "Development for safe utilization and infrastructure of hydrogen"running from 2003-2007 This program was a project to develop the technologies for safe utilization and infrastructure of hydrogen and was the successor of the World Energy Network (WE-NET) research program.
"Fundamental research project on advanced hydrogen science" was a program running from 2006-2012. It was a project to develop the technologies that enables the transportation and storage of large volumes of hydrogen in a compact form. It is the successor of the development for safe utilization and infrastructure of hydrogen research program (2003–2007).
