Abstract

A recycling support system for a production facility performing a plurality of types of recycling processing using marine plants includes a measurement unit configured to measure an amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility, and a control unit configured to control a proportion of each of the plurality of types of recycling processing carried out in the production facility according to the amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility measured by the measurement unit.

Claims (10)

1 . A recycling support system for a production facility performing a plurality of types of recycling processing using marine plants, the recycling support system comprising:

a measurement unit configured to measure an amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility; and

a control unit configured to control a proportion of each of the plurality of types of recycling processing carried out in the production facility according to the amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility measured by the measurement unit, wherein

when the amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility is less than or equal to a predetermined amount of energy, the control unit reduces the proportion of the plurality of types of recycling processing having a processing time of a predetermined period of time or longer among the plurality of types of recycling processing.

2 . The recycling support system according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of types of recycling processing at least includes processing of extracting specific nutrients from the marine plants, processing of drying the marine plants, and processing of fermenting the marine plants into ethanol.

3 . The recycling support system according to claim 1 , wherein

the measurement unit measures the amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility based on a stored amount of electricity obtained from natural energy.

4 . The recycling support system according to claim 1 , wherein

the measurement unit measures the amount of remaining energy used to operate the production facility based on a remaining amount of fuel including gasoline or ethanol.
