Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Japan is poor with fossil energy resources, and shortage in energy supply is worried even when “new energy resources” are considered.  Serious issues on global environment due to the population increase and large consumption of fossil fuels is another big problem these days.
Thus, construction of a recycle society, where stable energy supply, protection of environment, and sustainable economic development is realized by the use of renewable energy with low impact on the environment, is a urgent demand.
In this lecture, explanation and discussion are made on energy demand and environmental problems, natural resources (fossil fuels, biomass etc.), utilization and conversion of fossil fuel, bioenergy, solar and wind energy, nuclear energy, conversion and economics of biomass, and countermeasure for the global warming by utilization of renewable energy.
