About NPO Escot

    NPO ESCOT is a non-profit organization that develops technology related to environmental and energy issues and logistics efficiency.

    In particular, we are advancing research and development into environmental technologies such as wave upwelling pumps , DIY solar heat recovery systems, and eco-windows for disaster prevention and crime prevention , thereby contributing to the promotion of renewable energy and environmental protection.

    In the field of logistics, we have proposed an efficient system using container round use and QR codes, and are also working on initiatives that contribute to international transportation
    and disaster relief .

    This is a matching support site for land transport of sea containers.

    This is a public interest site aimed at addressing the 2024 problem, reducing CO2 emissions, shortening drivers’ working hours, and increasing their income.
