Utilization of plants for novel renewable energy and their application to desert regions

Abstract

The technology developed as a new regenerative energy from plants is carbon-free and environmentally friendly energy. It is based on the basic concept of obtaining electrical energy simply by inserting electrodes into fallow fields, making installation easy. It references microbial fuel cells that obtain electrical energy from the soil and magnesium-air batteries that utilize chemical reactions of electrodes to achieve high output. By restraining the chemical reactions of the electrodes with a coating, only voltage is utilized, and electric current is obtained by electrolyzing the electrolyte. It is possible to obtain electrical energy from any land and applicable even in desert areas.
