The Sustained Energy

The reaction zone in a detonation wave is no different from that in other flames, in that it supplies the sustaining energy. A difference does exist in that the detonation front initiates chemical reaction by compression, by diffusion of both heat and species, and thus inherently maintains itself. A further, but not essential, difference worth noting is that the reaction takes place with extreme rapidity in highly compressed and preheated gases. 

Nuclear energy will surely play an important role in Japan for the sustainable energy supply by producing hydrogen as well as generating electricity. 

The low Carbon Island is also known as the RE Island and the Sustainable Energy Island. Chen et al. [11] said that island development problems are mostly related to imported fossil fuel energy dependence, fresh water availability, waste management, and transportation problems. However RE technology is one solution which produces energy by transforming natural phenomena (or natural resources) into useful energy forms. 

Finally, this paper uses the results of above four scenarios to compare the carbon reduction goal of the Sustainable Energy Policy 2008, Master Plan of Energy Conservation and Carbon Mitigation 2009 and the Penghu low carbon island development project 2010. We test these four scenarios to see if the carbon reduction goals are achieved. The details of policies are shown in Table 26.9. 

Producing and processing the sustainable energy supplies needed to satisfy future needs are not always clean, pristine, or non-intrusive activities. The truth is that the processes used for mining coal or drilling for oil and natural gas can cause or release toxic byproducts. These chemicals and waste products can contaminate the air, soil, and water. 

Use of membrane-based separation processes represents a promising alternative to traditional processes, since they do not require high energy and chemical consumption, thus significantly improving the sustainable energy approach. In particular, innovative methods based on the carrier facilitated transport across a liquid membrane (LM) show great potential since they do not produce by-products of difficult disposal and they can be operated continuously.
