To avoid the global warming crisis, the use of fossil resources, coal, petroleum, and natural gas, must be reduced. The fossil resources are consumed for energy production of electricity and gas, and the material production of commodity chemicals. The energy production should be replaced with usage of renewable energy, solar, wind, and geothermal energies. Biomass resources are expected for replacement of fossil resources as organo-based materials. Much further research and development are required all over the world.

Content／学習内容

  • The electric energy produced from the typical renewable energies, solar, hydraulic, wind, geothermal powers, etc., can be hardly stored directly.  Only capacitors can be used for the direct storage of electric energy, but a huge system for the society does not practically make sense.  The conversion from electric energy to chemical energy is indispensable to store the massive energy for the stable supply and transportation of energy any places and any time.  Hydrogen (H2), ammonia (NH3), formic acid (HCOOH), and methylcyclohexane (CH3C6H5) are the strong candidates as an energy carrier.  Replacement of carbon source from fossil resources is also important.  Biomass conversion to chemicals must be developed in industries.
