  1. WHAT CAN JAPAN DO TO INCREASE THE USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IN THE FUTURE? Wan Mohd Shobri Bin Soed 11720280 Graduate School of Engineering Mechanical Engineering University of Fukui

  2. Geothermal Power Plants in Japan • Introduction Geothermal energy resources has begun around 1950 The first geothermal power station started its operation in 1966 After 35 years, 16 geothermal power plants in the 14 geothermal power station sites are currently operating in Japan Total authorized rated output reaches 530 MW, or 0.1% of the whole Japanese power capacity of 250 GW.

  3. Geothermal Power Plants in Japan

  4. Reasons why geothermal energy isn’t expanding in Japan • The initial investment cost is huge • Some measures are indispensable for preservation of natural scenery • Expensive drilling-costs, equipment and labor • Lack of knowledge

  5. So what can Japan do to increase this renewable energy in the future?? • a new energy policy for renewable energy • Japan is one of the most distinguished volcanic countries in the world • In fact, Japan's geothermal resources are among the most abundant in the world • A coordinated effort to cut energy consumption, combined with massive investments in renewable energy, such as geothermal, would place Japan in the forefront of the development of clean energy for the world in future

  6. THANK YOUFOR YOUR ATTENTION

  7. The benefits of Geothermal energy • not create any pollution. Itemits very little CO2 • it is also regarded as an effective means to deal with global warming issues as well as wind energy • Is renewable and sustainable • using it we get less dependent on coal and oil.

  8. How Geothermal energy work? • We can generate geothermal energy by drilling deep holes into the earths crust pumping cold water through one end and then by the time it rises back to the surface the water can be hundreds of degrees Celsius which we then use as steam to drive a turbine which drives a generator creating power. Geothermal energy is one of the best natural energies around.
