2028 Transformation from new agricultural products to new energy products(1/2)

Brothers, I have opened a new book again: Restart your life: I can call myself ten years ago, brothers, please help me collect it, and give me some recommendations!

*********************

To be honest, as long as you have enough ethanol, you can completely replace petrochemical fuel.

Compared with gasoline, there are one of the few disadvantages: this thing has a shelf life.

Another thing is that the calorific value of this thing is relatively low. Within the same unit volume, the calorific value of this thing is only 61% of the gasoline.

So, walking the same process requires more ethanol consumption.

But if you can guarantee that ethanol will be provided far and wide, it is still feasible to replace petrochemical fuels.

At present, many provinces in our country use ethanol gasoline.

That is, gasoline mixed with ethanol, with a ratio of 10:1.

The reason for this is because we are too short of oil.

Without full promotion, it is still limited by agricultural conditions.

In fact, we suffered a loss more than ten years ago.

At that time, due to the global price increase in oil, we once thought about using ethanol to replace petrochemical fuels on a large scale.

Unfortunately, reality taught us a lesson, just when we were in large quantities of ethanol refining factories in our country.

Suddenly, I encountered a serious global increase in food prices, and that year I encountered a once-in-a-century freezing.

Many southern areas where it was not snowing were blizzards and even iced.

This has led to a shortage of fuel in the southern region, not only fuel in shortage.

The most important thing is that feed in many breeding industries has also become short of news.

You should know that corn is the main source of our refining ethanol, and corn is also the main component of our feed for raising pigs and chickens.

In order to extract ethanol, the corn we purchased in large quantities were sent to the chemical factory.

This leads to a surge in feed prices, which resulted in a sharp rise in pork prices.

During the Spring Festival that year, we encountered the first time that the pork price soared to 40 yuan.

It was not until then that we realized that even if you want to use a lot of ethanol to replace petrochemical energy, you can't do it just by wanting to do it.

After all, you have to consider your agricultural conditions. If you extract ethanol in large quantities, it involves a process of snatching food from the belly of ordinary people.

And this consequence is not something that everyone can afford.

Even Brazil, a country with the best natural conditions in the world, cannot bear this consequence.

Brazil is also a country plagued by conservative oil shortages.

As early as the 1990s, they also thought about using ethanol to replace high-priced crude oil.

After all, Brazil's natural conditions are much better than ours. The land in China is fertile, and many places are plains.

It is also in the tropical region, which is very suitable for large-scale and intensive modern agricultural cultivation.

And the most important thing is that people produce high-heat corn and sugarcane.

You should know that these crops are natural ethanol extracted raw materials.

So they once tried to refine ethanol on a large scale to replace fuel.

And for a long time, it has been successful.

But it is precisely because of this success that eventually led to more and more farmers who were greedy for harvesting tropical rainforests and developing them into farms for planting.

Finally, the United Nations came forward because they were afraid that large-scale deforestation of rainforests would aggravate global warming.

The last few major powers had to come forward and persuade Brazil not to continue doing this.

He even took the initiative to increase oil exports to Brazil to ensure their energy supply.

For example, the United States and Mexico...

It can be seen that using ethanol to replace petrochemical fuels will affect the whole business.

It was not that everyone had thought about it before, nor was it impossible to do it, but if it was done, the chain reaction would be very huge.

But now, you have a way to produce ethanol or starch in large quantities.

That's not a problem at all.

You should know that there have always been two methods for ethanol refining.

The difference is petrochemical methods and biological refining.

The biochemical refining method is to mine fossil fuels, such as petroleum, and some by-products will be produced during the refining process.

Then these by-products are chemically reacted to obtain methanol, and then ethanol is prepared by using methanol.

There is another method, which is to extract ethanol from high-sugar crops such as cassava, corn, and sugarcane.

However, the cost of that kind of preparation is not low.

But this time, the artificially synthesized chloroplast invented by the agricultural research laboratory in Kalapag.

This process is much simpler.

Because those scientists found that as long as they were at the tail of the photosynthesis reaction, they were applying some small means.

Then they can convert the generated glucose directly into ethanol...

In fact, this is a pretty simple step, after completing the light and effect.

After the production of glucose, an additional incomplete oxidation reaction is carried out, which is the anaerobic respiration process of the cells.

In this process, two carbon dioxide molecules were divided into differentiated, and the final result was alcohol and lactic acid.

Although some of the energy will be lost during the process, you can finally get the chemical dye alcohol needed by humans!

This is the key...

Moreover, if this artificial synthetic chloroplast is used to complete this production process, the energy consumption of the entire process can be almost negligible.

The most important thing is that this process basically does not consume too much energy.

The main source of energy is just sunlight.

And it is different from the artificial starch process of Tianjin Academy of Sciences.

Because the artificial starch is not involved in artificial chloroplasts throughout the process, it is equivalent to reducing a place where carbon dioxide and water molecules react.

Therefore, a specific artificial environment is needed, and the starting point is to generate light or wind power, which electrolyze water and produce hydrogen and oxygen.

To be honest, the energy required to start this step is relatively large, which is also a relatively high place for the entire experiment.

However, the scientific research results completed by Kalapark's agricultural laboratory do not require such a process.

Because of the existence of artificial chloroplasts, they do not need artificial specific synthetic reactors.

It doesn’t require too much power to start, as long as daily sunshine is enough.

Moreover, the speed of this artificial chloroplast reaction and the energy consumed during the period are faster than that of ordinary chloroplasts, and they consume less.

Therefore, the synthesis efficiency is even higher, and the cloning experts there have calculated it.

This artificial synthetic chloroplast has a synthesis efficiency of light and heat interactions of 15-20 times that of ordinary plants.

Of course, the various enzymes and nutrient solutions needed must be sufficient.

And these seemingly inconspicuous enzymes are also very critical.

However, these enzymes can be handled by Bincheng Chemical Institute in China.

Overseas, it is exclusively controlled by Pan American Agricultural Development Company.

After mastering this artificial synthetic chloroplast, Xiao Feng was also calculating how to maximize the benefits of this kind.

After thinking about it, it is the most cost-effective to open some agricultural factories.

But what exactly should be done?

Only by keeping the secret of this artificial chloroplast, Xiao Feng also thought a lot.

After achieving this achievement, Xiao Feng also learned about the research progress of artificial chloroplasts in other countries in the world.

It’s true that before them, other countries did make breakthroughs in this regard.

Before that, Professor Uba from Planck Land Laboratory in Marburg, Germany had been studying artificial chloroplasts.

And as early as five years ago, an achievement was also announced, which is said to have invented an artificial chloroplast.

It is said that a chloroplast film is extracted from spinach, and the film is continuously stretched, and then fixed with artificial nanofilm.

Finally, this chloroplast film can speed up the absorption of carbon dioxide.

Even the most exaggerated one can achieve a hundred times that of ordinary plants...

At that time, this discovery was already a major scientific research breakthrough.

It has even been reprinted by many important scientific research media. If you can finally leave the laboratory, you may also win a Nobel Prize.
To be continued...
