What are the new energy sources?
Microbial fermentation: many countries rich in sugar cane, sugar beet, cassava and other world, the use of microbial fermentation, can be made into alcohol, alcohol has complete combustion, high efficiency, no pollution, can be obtained by the "ethanol gasoline" diluted gasoline and alcohol rich raw materials, low cost. According to reports, Brazil has modified ethanol gasoline or alcohol fueled cars up to hundreds of thousands of vehicles, reducing the air pollution. In addition, the use of microorganisms to produce hydrogen, in order to open up new ways of energy.
Combustible ice: This is a solid compound of methane and water, which is similar in appearance to ice". Combustible ice is stable at low temperature and high pressure, and the combustible gas released by ice melting is 100 times that of the original solid. It is estimated that the amount of combustible ice is more than the total amount of coal, oil and natural gas on earth.Coalbed methane: during the formation of coal due to the increase in temperature and pressure, while the deterioration of the release of combustible gas. From peat to lignite, per ton of coal produced 68m3 gas; from peat to coal per ton of coal produced 130m3 gas; from peat to anthracite coal per ton of coal produced gas 400m3. Scientists estimate that the earth's coal-bed methane up to 2000Tm3.
New energy and new materials is a new concept of science and technology, which is based on the concept of environmental protection.New energy and new material features: superior performance of some materials, with better performance than traditional materials.
Generally there:Superconductive material, solar cell material, hydrogen storage material, solid oxide battery material intelligent material, magnetic material, nano material.Several new energy and new materials in the futureWave energy: ocean wave energy. This is an inexhaustible, renewable energy without pollution. It is speculated that the earth's Shanghai ocean wave energy stored up to 9 x 104TW. In recent years, the utilization of wave energy has occupied a place in the country's new energy development plan. Despite the high cost of wave energy generation, the need for further improvement, but the current progress has shown the potential commercial value of this new energy. A wave power plant in Japan has been running for 8 years, although the cost of generating electricity is higher than that of other power generation methods, it can save the cost of power transmission and so on. Currently, the United States, Britain, India and other countries have built dozens of wave power stations, and are running well.
