Survey on the energy transportation technology for the alternative energies; Sekiyu daitai energy nado no yuso gijutsu ni kansuru chosa

Abstract

Studied is a system in which hydrogen is produced through a water electrolysis process using clean energy from hydro-electric and solar power generations which can be obtained overseas with relative ease and at a low cost and is converted to a transportable chemical medium for transportation to Japan and utilization as energy like electricity, etc. The hydroelectric power generation is the most realistic alternative energy source in terms of energy density, technology and economy. Described here is the feasibility of development of hydroelectric power generation using rivers in Indonesia and Canada. As chemical substances which can be transportable chemical media, methanol/CO cycle (methanol is synthesized from coal gasified CO and electrolytic hydrogen) or liquid hydrogen cycle are the most practical on a short-term basis, and ammonia cycle and cyclohexane cycle are more advantageous than other cycles on a long-term basis. It is essential to reduce a cost of water electrolysis for each chemical substance. Potential needs are great for distribution and utilization of hydrogen energy regenerated from the transportable chemical medium, but it requires a lot of technological innovations regarding the system structure and materials (safety, particularly). 58 refs., 116 figs., 79 tabs.
