NTN's Transportable Independent Power Supply “N3 N-CUBE” Registered on WIPO GREEN Platform for Environmental Innovation November 10, 2025
The Transportable Independent Power Supply “N3 N-CUBE” developed by NTN Corporation (hereafter, NTN) has been registered on “WIPO GREEN”-an online platform operated by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a specialized agency of the United Nations. WIPO GREEN promotes the utilization of environmental technologies.
WIPO was established in 1970 to promote the protection and management of intellectual property rights. Since 1974, it has served as a specialized agency of the United Nations, overseeing various treaties related to intellectual property, operating international application and registration systems, formulating rules in the intellectual property field, and providing support to developing countries.
WIPO GREEN is an online platform established in 2013 to promote the development and dissemination of environmental technologies. It serves as a matching platform for needs and technologies, where products, services, and intellectual property related to environmental technologies are registered.
NTN has registered approximately 130 technologies on WIPO GREEN, including bearings for wind turbines and products that harness renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power—fields the company is actively developing as part of its new business initiatives. Recently, the engineering information for the Transportable Independent Power Supply “N3 N-CUBE” has also been newly registered. In addition, WIPO publishes the “WIPO Green Technology Book,” showcasing technologies that help address environmental challenges. The “Green Technology Book Expo Edition*1,” which highlights examples of energy technologies and solutions from the Asia-Pacific region, also features “N3 N-CUBE” technology.
Newly registered engineering information on WIPO GREEN
| Durable off-grid renewable power system | This is a transportable independent power supply equipped with a vertical axis wind turbine, solar panels, and storage batteries in a single container. By customizing the container's interior, it can serve various functions during normal times, such as a circulating flush toilet, an air-conditioned rest area, a warehouse, or a bus waiting area. In the event of a disaster, it can be quickly transported by truck, cargo ship, or helicopter to areas in need of electricity, enabling rapid power generation. |
