Proposal of LRT Using Renewable Energy
Abstract
Is a vehicle that runs on electricity really environmentally friendly? In Japan, thermal power generation accounts for over 60% of all electric power. If railways, especially trams, could run on renewable energy such as solar power, wind power and micro hydropower, wouldn’t that be truly environmentally friendly? In this document, we propose an exactly environmentally friendly LRT (Light Rail Transit) system using renewable energy and we want verify feasibility.
