# Solarific Moon Belts The Japanese Shimizu Corporation Luna Ring Concept is Otherworldly By Allison Love | Published 2010-06-02 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shimizu-corporation-luna-ring References: [shimz.co.jp](http://www.shimz.co.jp/english/theme/dream/lunaring.html) Now this is taking green to a whole other world (or planet). The Japanese Shimizu Corporation Luna Ring is a concept involving the creation of a [solar belt around the moon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-pavilion). Collecting solar energy, the Luna Ring would act as a mediator between the sun and the earth, transferring solar energy from the former to the latter. Although the idea appears to be a bit of a stretch, the Shimizu Corporation's Luna Ring is certainly an interesting concept to be developed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar Energy Collection:** The Luna Ring concept presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the solar energy collection industry. - **Space-based Solar Power:** The development of a solar belt around the moon opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the space-based solar power industry. - **Interplanetary Energy Transfer:** The Luna Ring concept introduces the potential for disruptive innovation in the interplanetary energy transfer industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** The Luna Ring concept has implications for disruptive innovation in the renewable energy industry. - **Space Technology:** The development of a lunar solar belt presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the space technology industry. - **Clean Energy Infrastructure:** The potential implementation of the Luna Ring concept could drive disruptive innovation in the clean energy infrastructure industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Lined Energy Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tower-1.md) - [User-Friendly Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-energy.md) - [Solar System-Inspired Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmooval.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Sleek Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lamp-concept.md) - [Sustainable Alien Planet Colonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colony-concept.md) - [Ethereal Lunar Wall Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-piena-wall-lamp.md) - [Astro-Inspired Sculptural Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara-suspension.md) - [Solar-Powered Sleek Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris.md) - [Sunlight-Mimicking Panelled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunne-lamp.md)
