Request for Donation and Support
We operate as a non-profit juridical organization, with an aim at creating society where natural energy is used affluently by diffusing marine energy under the slogan “Energy Essential for Our Life Lies in the Sea.” We operate and manage one of the national government’s test field of marine energy located off the coast of Kabeshima Island in Karatsu City under a contract with the national government. Our management system is characterized by the “Saga method” based on collaboration with local fishermen.
Japan is an island nation surrounded by the sea. The sea has an affluent energy reserves, such as wind, waves, tides, and temperature differences of the seawater.
Our aims are to
(1) change the rich natural reserves into energy to help better our living and
(2) diffuse energy as a local civic social organization (CSO).
Marine energy is still young; it requires more technical development and implementation of experiments. We need to never give up and move forward systematically. We need your support for the next-generation energy source, “marine energy.”
Your support is a great encouragement that makes MATSRA move forward and do better, which will eventually encourage, foster, and grow energy-related business operators. We are willing to acquire support from corporations, organizations, and citizens who are interested in our activities.
