替代能源的發展現況及展望

Abstract

自從原油的供應發生問題以來，世界各國無不竭盡全力去增闢可能的其它能源供應途徑。在許多的替代能源中，以下列四項的發展最引人注目：(1)太陽能，(2)核融合，(3)快速中子滋生反應爐，及(4)生質能源。前三項替代能源若能充分開發利用，將能一舉而解決能源問題，只是須投下巨大的資本及人力，不是我們目前能力所，惟有作物生生不息的能量種植方法，將是種在常溫常壓下即能從事之極有效率的能源生產方式。 Ever since the incidence of energy crisis, all countries in the world have been trying to find out possible substitute enerrgy resources. Among the many found substitute energy resources, four most promissing sources are described as in the following: (a) Solar energy. (b) Fusion energy. (c0 Energy produced by the nuclear breeder. (d) Biomass energy. To develop solar energy, fusion energy, and nuclear breeder, we need to invest too much capital and too many specialisti, which are not available for our present condition.
