“Magnesium Bunmeiron (Magnesium Civilization)” will be published on Dec 16th

“Magnesium Bunmeiron (Magnesium Civilization)” (by YABE Takashi, YAMAJI Tatsuya) will be published from PHP-shinsho on Dec 16th.
(This book is written in Japanese.)

What is new energy that takes the place of fossil fuel? 60% of Japan’s land will be covered with solar cells if demand for energy in Japan is supplied just with them. Underground will be filled with Hydrogen tanks in Hydrogen society. There is not enough Lithium for EVs. Moreover, electric energy will have to be increased up to 150% of the present time to supply demand of water in the world by 2025.
“Magnesium-based energy cycle” is a solution for these problems.

Contents of “Magnesium Bunmeiron (Magnesium Civilization)”

Chapter 1: Can natural energy and Hydrogen take the place of Oil?: Oil civilization, a beginning of an end; Will oil disappear or not?; Global warming becomes aggravated; We cannot stop the growth of the world economy; Is there alternative new source of energy to oil?; Is a solar-cell enough for electric energy requirements of Japan?; Electricity is not accumulated; Natural energy such as solar ray/heat, wind, terrestrial heat should be used as local energy; Is Hydrogen society feasible?; The nuclear fusion is energy in the far future; Thinking about the circulation of energy and the resource; Alternative new source of energy is “Magnesium”; Magnesium was not fuel because it was expensive; Solar-pumped laser smelts Magnesium; Magnesium is extracted from seawater; Magnesium is recycled with solar-pumped laser; “Magnesium-based energy cycle” is about to be practical
