Advanced Atomic Energy Research Section
概要
Main objective of our research section is to realize advanced energy systems for the sustainable develop- ment under global environmental constraints. We have shown a Zero-emission energy scenario based on fu- sion energy with biomass-based recycling system where biomass waste is converted into liquid fuel or hydrogen. And further we now propose an innovative Negative emission scenario to isolate CO2 in the at- mosphere by a carbonization process. Our research section focuses on development of hydrogen isotopes fuel cycle system, breeding blankets, fusion material R&D, feasibility study for fusion-biomass hybrid power system, conversion of biomass waste, and fu- sion neutron generation/measurement. Followings are main research achievements in the fiscal year of 2020.
