Abstract
The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, and the huge tsunami brought with it great suffering in the coast of Tohoku region. The tsunami swept away people, cars, houses and whole communities In Iwate prefecture where our college exists, coverage showed that dozens of cars and containers being washed into the sea when a tsunami hit Kamaishi port. The disaster cut off lifelines such as gas, electricity and running water in widespread areas across northeast Japan. In this region, the recovery and reconstructing activity is still executing but the wasted woody biomass has been stacked up in everywhere In the meantime, we have considered and examined an effective utilization of such wasted woody biomass. In this report, the outline of the challenge using Stirling cooler and Stirling engine in the disaster area is concretely introduced. In the community of the disaster area, the system which utilizes solar and wind energy in addition to the woody biomass fuel is also expected.
