California Renewable Energy full transition 2018.12

<California is a unique renewable energy policy.>

In response to the Trump regime, which proved to be withdrawn from the "Paris Agreement", the international Framework for global warming countermeasures, California will promote its own state-level global warming strategy. As a medium-term target, we will raise the power generation ratio by renewable energy such as wind, solar, hydro, etc. to electricity companies in the state to 60% by the end of 30%.

Government buildings and other state-related facilities switch to renewable energy in the year of target achievement It is said that it is It will be implemented from January next year. In the United States, the difference between the central government and the local government is clear about environmental policy.

Food waste, thinned wood and branch materials as biomass energy 2001.05.20

Biomass energy has been attracting attention as a new energy source as a waste treatment. Biomass is the idea of an organic organism as an energy resource, in addition to plant resources, such as human waste urine, garbage from plants and animals, etc. are also included. The use of biomass energy, which is currently considered, is based on incineration heat utilization, gasification by pyrolysis, methane fermentation, and alcohol fermentation. As for the use technology, the use of heat by direct incineration and the methane fermentation of organic wastes has been put into practical use, but in the food factory, the case of adopting methane fermentation technology is increasing in response to the food waste recycling law.

Approximately 2.7 billion yen has been organized for the development and dissemination of biomass energy in the environment-related budget of the country in fiscal 2001. On the other hand, the Ministry of Health, Labour and welfare has processed human waste and raw garbage, and launched the "Sludge Regeneration treatment center Concept" to recycle methane gas and compost, and issued a subsidy only for the recycling type of new human waste treatment facilities from fiscal 1998. Therefore, the municipality is looking for a mechanism that can recycle from both sides of the garbage disposal and human waste processing.

In addition, the "Renewable Energy Promotion Law" under consideration for legislation is also touted to promote the dissemination of solar and wind power and biomass energy. 19 million tons of food waste per year, and waste material discarded from construction sites is 17 million tons annually. Only biomass resources that are currently being treated as waste rise to this amount. In addition, the forest area of the current Japan is about 25 million hectares. The forest resources that grow over the years are about 100 million cubic meters Sweden. According to assets such as ministry, the Japan has been left in mountainous areas for about 6 million cubic meters of thinned wood and branch materials. We consider these to be energy resources, and if we plan to proceed deforestation and reforestation, we can diversify energy sources and preserve forests. It also leads to the promotion of forestry, which is declining steadily.

Biomass - Usage of tall size of local resources ①

I think that the use of biomass should be the subject of heat use. In fact, we live in an old house in Satoyama, have a bath, a kitchen, and a heating for firewood, but we need roughly 10kg a day for one agricultural container. Because the amount of heat changes in serrata, Cedar, and cypress, it is not to be said unconditionally. Because it is a warm Shizuoka, 10kg in winter, about half in summer.
 By the way, the furnace of "Love Agriculture Furnace" is developed after the war and the efficient furnace is made, and it uses it. The current housing consumption is 80 giga Joules. This is the kerosene equivalent of 6 liters a day. The wood pellets are about half the amount of heat of kerosene. 10kg = about 10 liters, so the firewood is about 5 liters of kerosene.
I think it's a reasonable line. The specific gravity of cypress is 0.41 t/m3. That is, it weighs 410kg per cubic metre. If it was roughly 400kg, 0.025 cubic meters. Roughly, it becomes a log of 40 cm in diameter and about 30cm in height. I can understand this size as a feeling. It is 3650kg per year, even if it is 10kg per day throughout the year. About nine cubic meters.

 I think the summer is about 6 cubic meters. The solar water heater has not been applied yet, but Shizuoka has a high weather rate, so it is not necessary to cook the vacuum tube in winter. With a solar water heater, the amount of firewood per year will be about 4.5 cubic meters. 1.8 m x 1.5 m x 0.4 m = 1.008 cubic meters of shelves should be five minutes.

Main factors of eco business market growth①

The domestic environmental business market currently has 10,000 companies, and business items are expanding to around 900 and all industries. They are all part of the participatory aspect.

That is one of the growth factors of the market.

 Four entry forms for entering the market. The first is "greening the production line". That is, the production line or energy saving, not to discharge the waste as much as possible from the production line, also aims to recycle, and the like to prevent water pollution with not out the sewage outside. In this effort, each company has a large number of environmental engineering department, which has zero emissions, energy saving, and emission control of hazardous substances, and it is not uncommon for major companies to spin it off. And, the business to sell the green technology, the know-how and the experience that it created here to the other companies is not to have begun now.

The second is "greening existing products". Products that are currently traded in the world are rapidly advancing green. These days, low-pollution automobiles and energy-saving consumer electronics products are natural. In other words, we create environmentally friendly products such as energy saving and resource saving of conventional products, adoption of recycled materials, and suppression of use of hazardous substances. Thus, the load on the environment can be further reduced.

The third is the application of "core technology (business) to environmental technology (business)". This is a common case for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is our stance to apply the core and elemental technology accumulated in our company to environmental technologies. The result is, for example, making a recycling device. The case where the solar cell was made by Si (silicon) which was the leading part of the semiconductor is mentioned as a typical example.

And the fourth is "M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions), a patent takeover." This is a case in which a company buys another company which is good at environmental technology, and as a result of the acquisition, the acquisition of related patents becomes a powerful weapon in the business entry. Recently, Panasonic, a manufacturer of energy-saving home appliances, has acquired Sanyo Electric, a typical example. Sanyo Electric is known as a manufacturer of rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion batteries. For example, considering the use of natural power to accumulate unstable renewable energy in the storage battery, it is expected to be a significant demand for M&A.

Temperature rise 2 degrees to 2.5 degrees fixed 1998.09.15

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in the United Nations is expected to significantly increase the predicted temperature rise of global warming until the year 2100 from 2 degrees C to 2.5 degrees C. The amount of fine particles reflecting solar rays in the atmosphere is likely to decrease in the future. This fine particle is caused by SOX and other countries, but it is predicted that the amount of the outbreak will be significantly below the initial forecast as China and other developing nations try to prevent air pollution.

Solar power is for heat use 1

The Sun should be considered as the use of solar heat as well as light.

● Solar thermal Water heaters renewable Energy (natural energy) is a representative of solar power that utilizes solar light. The system which buys the whole amount of power obtained from there becomes a tail wind, and the solar power generation rapidly spread and expanded in recent years. Solar power will continue to run as a top runner in renewable energy. The energy use using the heat of the sun is attracting attention to the method of electric conversion of this solar light again. The solar heat is collected by the collector, etc., and it tries to use it as a heat source of hot water and heating.

● For example, when used in hot water, energy conversion efficiency (heat collection efficiency) is 40% or more, and has a much higher power than the conversion efficiency of 10% solar light. If the use facility is hot water in the possibility of increasing the solar water heater, it is the one that the hot water of 60 ℃ or more can be obtained in summer. A standard solar water heater (6 ㎡ of heat collector area and 300L) can reduce the energy consumed by the general household in hot water for one year by about 95% (approximately 455L in terms of kerosene). The office which uses electricity and kerosene, etc. To change water to hot water if it thinks is not a little. The golf course, the sports facilities, the geriatric care facilities, etc. are used for the hot water in the bath, the shower, and the hot water etc., and are overwhelmingly more than energy consumption such as other lights and air conditioners. In other words, the solar water heater is energy-saving, and energy costs are reduced.

Solar power is for heat use 2

The heat collector to collect the solar heat that can be used for cooling in the summertime, water to be accumulated in water, it can be roughly divided into air type to store in the air, water type is possible to retrofit to the existing facility, whereas the air type of building integrated is the advantage that can be used directly heating the air warmed.
In addition, heat storage tank and water storage tank for leveling the heat demand balance caused by the gap in the time zone of heat utilization and heat collection, heat exchanger, and performs a hot water and heating in combination such as a boiler, further heat can be chemically converted to air conditioning in the summertime. As a promising industry for nuclear power plants, the use of solar heat is affected by the rise in crude oil prices due to the second oil crisis in 1979. Although demand increased at that time, the subsided of oil prices continued to peak around 1980. The due of the great East Japan earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the effective means of combating global warming, and attracting attention again as a promising industry.

Geothermal power equals 10 nuclear reactors

<Nuclear power is not at your feet. Geothermal energy >

● In addition to renewable energy such as solar and wind, it is the geothermal power that attracts attention in recent years as a local consumption energy. In volcanic countries and Japan, geothermal power generation capacity is a big energy resource that is twice the current wind and three times the solar light. Moreover, the CO2 emitted by power generation is a clean energy which contributes to measures against global warming at about one-twentieth of thermal power generation and the same low level as hydroelectric power generation. The hot water resources required for Japan geothermal power generation is 33 million liters in the world, with a power generation capacity of 10 nuclear reactors.

● Geothermal power generation is the one to turn the turbine directly with steam taken out from deep underground.In the thermal power plant, it can be said that the Earth plays the role of the boiler in geothermal power generation while steam is generated by the heat by the combustion of coal, oil, and LNG. As for geothermal power generation, the period leading to the investigation and the development and the operation of excavation etc. up to now has a drawback that the running cost becomes high after all, and the development trader was limited. Therefore, the country has been urging deregulation measures to support the initial investment from the 1990s and to commercialize it in a national park with a lot of geothermal spots. The expansion of these support systems, according to the Ministry of Economics, has set the goal that the amount of geothermal power generation can be developed up to 1.2 million kw in 20 years and 1.9 million kw in 30 years.By the way, the total output of global geothermal power generation is predicted to swell to 200 million kw in 50 years.The center of the market is Southeast Asia and Africa.

 The "Paris agreement" measures global warming since 2020, and the business opportunities for geothermal power generation are increasing. By the way, the amount of geothermal power used in Japan is ninth in the world. 70% of the world's geothermal power turbines are made Japan of high technology. To sell the nuclear power plant that is suspicious and dangerous to the world Japan the government buys the world's Lost Laughs (* _ *)

Plant Factory Business is limited ①

On the other day, I looked into "agri business Japan" which was held at Tokyo International Exhibition Center. Approximately 160 offices in Japan and overseas are exhibited. The exhibits of agricultural workers were surprisingly small, and many of them were exhibited in home appliances, materials, plant manufacturers and facility horticulture. Most of the plants produced there are leafy vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries. Cultivation technology is seen as a trace of constantly evolving, but the biggest challenge is still profitability of the producer side.

It is very limited to be established as a business. The present day of the plant factory, only the leaf things such as lettuce were attached to the eye in the planner piled up in layers here and there in the hall.  Is it possible to do business of plant factories that produce food ingredients outside of these natural and ecological systems? What is a plant factory in the first place? The type of plant factory, there are two types of fully artificial light type using LED light source without sunlight (including led combination) and the solar light type broadly divided. The solar type is basically used for solar light in a semi-closed environment of greenhouse type. It is possible to plan production throughout the year by the supplementary light at the time of rain and cloudy, the high temperature suppression in the summer, etc., in addition to the leaves such as lettuce and spinach, fruit vegetables centered on tomatoes, strawberries, etc. are also suitable for cultivation features. In addition, the cultivation area is easy to be cultivated in the plane (one side), it is possible to adjust the proper yield amount. On the other hand, the fully artificial light type which does not use the solar light is a production method of planning production in a closed environment. The production of lettuce, spinach, etc. are mainly made of leafy products (fruits and vegetables are very limited). It is possible to secure the cultivation area by multi-stage cultivation, a lot of harvest is expected, it is close to the large consumption area (low distribution cost) is characterized by high installation suitability around the urban area.

Use of solar light for dam cleaning 1999.04.15

The attempt to remove algae such as the Aoko using solar power generation started in April at Kokawauchi Dam in Lake Okutama. It is a mechanism that the electric power ship collects by two pumps installed on the surface of the lake, but the power of the pump uses a solar panel of 1.2 m * 0.8 m on a raft of 210 sheets on a lake surface (power generation capacity 25kw). Also on the deck of the electric power ship 1. 5 kw power generation device is installed.
