Into the book
Hydrogen is used in various industrial fields, including steel, petrochemicals, and automobiles.
Hydrogen is expected to be particularly useful in the steel industry.
When producing iron, a carbon substance called coke is mainly used to remove oxygen from iron ore, but using coke produces a lot of carbon dioxide.
If hydrogen is used instead of coke, only water is produced, which helps protect the environment.
--- p.68~70
Coal is the cheapest and most abundant of all energy sources, and is relatively evenly distributed throughout the world.
It is the most readily available and usable resource.
While coal will eventually need to be replaced by renewable energy, it's also important to consider reality and attempt a gradual transition.
Coal liquefaction and gasification technology, which converts coal into liquid or gas, is attracting attention as a way to increase energy efficiency while protecting the environment.
--- p.70
The total amount of living organisms on Earth, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, is called 'biomass'.
It refers to the total mass of living things that circulate in the ecosystem, including plants that grow with sunlight, animals that eat these plants, and microorganisms that reproduce using dead plants and animals as nutrients.
The amount of biomass produced on Earth in one year is a whopping 155 billion tons, which is equivalent to the amount of oil reserves.
It exists abundantly in nature in various forms and is an excellent source of energy.
--- p.93
Almost all energy on Earth comes from the sun.
What if we could artificially replicate the way the sun generates energy—the nuclear fusion reaction where hydrogen nuclei combine to release energy? We could produce solar energy infinitely, at our fingertips.
Currently, many countries around the world are conducting research to utilize nuclear fusion energy in everyday life.
--- p.98~100
Artificial intelligence can be a tool to reduce uncertainty and efficiently manage renewable energy.
Wouldn't energy management be much easier if we had an AI system that integrated power plants spread across various regions? When there's a shortage of power generated from renewable energy, information and communication technology can quickly identify the issue and help replace it with stored electricity or fossil fuels.
If we actively develop renewable energy and build a systematic, AI-powered grid, won't we one day see an era where we can seamlessly use electricity from renewable energy sources, replacing fossil fuels?

Bioenergy fuels, renewable energy villages, artificial suns…
The world of advanced energy
Renewable energy is considered a key to a sustainable society.
This book shows the many faces of future energy.
It faithfully introduces the basic principles of various renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and bioenergy.
We will also explore the cutting edge of science and technology, including hydrogen fuel cells that do not emit greenhouse gases, energy development that utilizes waste, and nuclear fusion that creates an artificial sun.
We also take a look at new landscapes in communities around the world, such as renewable energy villages and smart cities that manage electricity with big data.
These examples make us realize that energy is not simply a physical force or a means of supplying electricity, but rather an important tool for designing humanity's future.
Readers can develop interdisciplinary, integrated thinking skills through vivid examples of how science and society influence each other.
In addition, it fosters imagination to grow into future talents who explore and utilize energy.
What if I generate and sell solar energy myself?
Freely imagine your career path and occupation
This book introduces the diverse world of careers in the energy field.
It covers ten careers, from those who design and develop equipment, such as energy engineers and geothermal system developers, to those in charge of management and research, such as smart grid operators and climate change experts.
It contains practical career information, such as what each job entails, why it is promising, and what to study.
Energy issues are not confined to science or engineering.
It's also important to be creative and artistic, like designers of energy-saving products.
The author emphasizes that creating a clean Earth requires diverse talents.
It asks imaginative questions like, "What if I built an energy power plant in my neighborhood?" and "What if I developed underground resources myself?", leading readers to think independently.
This book provides young readers with the knowledge and advice they need to realize their own ideas and dreams.
