After the Basic Plan on Energy was determined, a set of policy measures as proposed in order to accelerate a shift to natural gas: development of domestic infrastructure of natural gas utilization, making effort to lower and stabilize import prices of LNG, support for introducing gas cogeneration, etc. Also the Program to Achieve Kyoto-Protocol Target proposes to promote the natural gas shift. In these circumstances, this report summarizes the results of investigation on natural gas resources, LNG import, domestic infrastructure of natural gas utilization, current and future prices of natural gas, the development of natural gas utilization technologies, and new types of fuel for end-use. Natural gas is expected more abundant than petroleum, therefore Japan has increased its import. In addition, its prices might be lower in the future in comparison with petroleum prices. Natural gas will take more important role as a primary energy source in Japan under the support program by the Government.

Utilization of bio-resources by radiation has been investigated for recycling the natural resources and reducing the environmental pollution. Polysaccharides such as chitosan and sodium alginate were easily degraded by irradiation and induced various kinds of biological activities, i.g. anti-microbial activity, promotion of plant growth, suppression of heavy metal stress, phytoalexins induction. Radiation degraded chitosan was effective to enhance the growth of plants in tissue culture. It was demonstrated that the liquid sample irradiation system using low energy EB was effective for the preparation of degraded polysaccharides. Methylcellulose (MC) can be crosslinked under certain radiation condition as same as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and produced the biodegradable hydrogel for medical and agricultural use. Treatment of soybean seeds by low energy EB enhanced the growth and the number of rhizobia on the root.
