Abstract
After the 3.11 Big Quake, Japan is facing the shortage of electricity, due to the stoppage of most of Nuclear Power Stations. The shortage of electricity is being covered by saving effort of electricity in civil life and industries, and substituted LNG fired power. However, substitution by coal fired power is not feasible due to much higher emission rate of CO2. Other difficulty are higher cost of electricity for civil life and industries, mostly due to higher energy source cost, such as imported natural gas (LNG). Current situation forces inconveniences on civic life and loss of competiveness on most of manufacturing industries in Japan Under such complex and difficult situation, is there any good solution to cope with? The writer suggests ideas and scenarios to attain the sustainable society and Low Carbon Society.
