10. 4cm squired module produces 7.2w of
electricity.
GMZ successfully generated 200w electricity.
VEDIO OF THE WORKING MODEL

11. To produce 1000w in fighting vehicle and
military tank.
GMZ company working to improve efficiency
of passenger vehicles by 25%.
Soon to apply TEG to cars with an aim to
improve efficiency by 5%.
No any cooling system for vehicles.

12. Several ongoing demonstration tests on TEG systems
applying to various fields such as industrial furnace, solid
waste incinerator, motorcycle and solar thermal energy
system have been actively progressed by private
companies mostly. Durability of TEG systems for practical
fields is the key at the next stage.
•The establishment of the advanced thermoelectric
material technology is the urgent matter on the realization
of TEG system in the society. Two ongoing national
projects are introduced, in which the goal in ZT is 1.3~1.5
for the medium and wide temperature range applications.
•The roadmap on TEG systems is presented for
forthcoming 30 years as well as the prospect on the
enhancement of module efficiency with several key-words
of materials innovation
