In order to replace gasoline, diesel fuel, and not to compete food,land with people, the domestic and international start in corn, soybean, canola and other crops besides, with microscopic algae as raw material to develop bio-fuels, even had created a fuel-powered aircraft. In this "algae fuel" trend, the direction of China's first energy microalgae National Key Basic Research Program "973" project has started. The East China University of Technology as a support unit of the project team plans to build a five years of large-scale preparation of integrated systems for algae energy industry basis, in order to replace part of the traditional sources like oil and food bio-fuels. Scientists have discovered that in addition to higher oil content of terrestrial plants, the use of microscopic algae have accumulated a lot of fat to produce biodiesel. This renewable energy can directly use in existing transport engines,gas stations and other facilities, which calorific value close to fossil diesel, and environmentally friendly. According to foreign media reports, Airbus' Diamond DA42 "aircraft has been 100% algae biofuel-driven, and completed its first flight in the air show, the first to demonstrate for aircraft fuel algae can be independent provide the power, and the tail gas hydrocarbon only 1/8 of the fossil fuels. In the plane take off the same month, the United States will officially published algae biofuel technology roadmap," Britain, Australia and other developed countries have also started micro-algae energy research projects, but so far there is no domestic energy production of microalgae in commercial systems. Project's chief scientist, East China University of Bioreactor Engineering, State Key Laboratory of Professor Li Yuanguang introduction, The microalgae Energy "973" project has been launched in Jiaxing City technology by domestic more than 10 universities, research institutes and enterprises jointly organized and implemented, Energy by 2015 is expected to microalgae in large-scale preparation of a major breakthrough in the key scientific issues, whereby the development of low-cost preparation techniques, in the international energy development on the high ground occupied by microalgae. Experts believe that the oil-producing algae biodiesel at home and abroad are expected to solve large-scale production of raw materials shortages prevalent. Microalgae oil less land area, from time to arable land, is expected to make our vast saline, beaches and other land resources are fully utilized. At the same time, carbon emissions or a microalgae culture process can be a lot to absorb during the industrial emissions of carbon dioxide. It is estimated that China's annual consumption of over one hundred million tons of diesel, if all of the algae as raw material to produce energy, the number of tons of carbon dioxide can be absorbed. Guangzhou Pengfa Biomass Energy Equipment Co.,Ltd is a manufacturer and supplier of biomass energy equipment export,Its main products are Pellet Mills,hammer mill, Mixers and Air Cooler.We provides best service to their customers by good quality, beautiful design, reasonable price and prompt delivery.
