kiyoaki onoue, yukitaka murakami, petros sofronis, Safety study of Hydrogen Supply Station for the Review of The High Pressure Gas Safety Low in Japan, After the Fukushima nuclear plant accident, Japan is facing an unprecedented situation
with its energy supply. This paper provides an overview of Japan’s current energy landscape
with descriptions of the kinds and production of energy. Since it is inevitable that the
use of nuclear energy will decrease, we shall propose a best mix of electric sources of the
large-scale and centralized network as well as the decentralized network as an alternative.
The hub for this proposal is regional power centers (RPC) to control the electric supply as
well as fuel transportation and storage on an area-by-area basis. As technologies that will
realize this power center, we will discuss fuel cells, hydrogen production and storage and
furthermore, the potential of CCS, which is requisite technology for carbon dioxide emissions
reduction.. |
