Development of Novel Recycling Technology for Magnesium Alloy Fuel Cell by Renewable Energy

Name

Hiroyuki Shibata
Professor
Materials Separation Processing, Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials

Outline of Research

One of the greatest challenges facing humanity is the sustainable production and consumption of energy for the preservation of society. To achieve this goal, we propose the use of magnesium as a new energy carrier. We therefore must develop a broad range of magnesium utilization technologies and a pathway for its application in batteries. Furthermore, to truly make material recycling possible, it is necessary to make innovative use of renewable and surplus energy.
By creating a sustainable energy recycling system and sharing information about truly recyclable materials as energy carriers, a technology that everyone can use fairly, this council will contribute to the future preservation of the global environment.

Research Purpose

Building a Stable, Recycling-Based Society

Expected Effect

Realizing a recycling-based society with the same conditions, anywhere in the world
