The ultra-cheap future fuel comes from where nobody thinks

Built entirely from components that seem to be discarded, and at the same time extremely friendly to the environment, this potential technology promises to create a breakthrough for one of the most urgent needs in today's society.

In the present era, the cost of traveling and traveling such as maintenance and repair, especially the demand for fuel has become one of the hottest issues in the range since discussing economic talks to a simple daily chat.

However, society not only cares about the economic aspect but also a very clear sense of potential risks and risks, waiting to break into chaotic crises of global scale, if we Only rely on a single fuel source from gasoline and gas.

A long time ago, since 1826, humanity has launched a campaign to find biological solutions to the problem of environmental pollution caused by burning fuels. According to the records of the field research process, a suitable choice, which satisfies somewhat of the urgent need of the world, and the unprecedented environmental friendly characteristics of precedent have appeared. : Ethanol.

Constructed by a method of purification, transforming plant ingredients into necessary energy, ethanol has played a very important role in World War II when demand has been strong; At the same time, it is becoming more and more popular and popular, but still not enough to become the leading factor in the fuel supply market, competing with other types.

Clogging with lead fuel causes many negative environmental impacts.

The main reason is that the cost of ethanol is often significantly higher than conventional lead gasoline . Moreover, dozens of gasoline businesses have been unable to pursue the same research and development, perfecting the characteristics of ethanol, although previously given full of promises and eloquent claims. about a bright prospect.

But be optimistic, because a new project promises to help solve this dilemma completely!

Thomas Jeffries, a scientist from Xylome - an in-depth research facility on the impact of future biofuel products - along with a team of graduate students at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Analysis Center ( GLBRC) has obtained the first results related to a new raw ethanol source of the new variant.

According to the initial investigation, a fermenting bacterium (S. passalidarum) that exists inside the digestive system of the beetle plays a special role in catalyzing the reaction of converting xylose crystalline sugar ( C ₅ H ₁₀ O ₅ ) into energy. And now, thanks to the hands of human intervention in the aspect of biotransformation, its effectiveness is becoming more apparent.

Timothy Donohue, one of the leading microbiological researchers at the GLBRC, explains: "The bacteria tend to prefer food derived from glucose instead of xylose, or if there is no reserve available. other than xylose, they will slow down the digestion and metabolism processes compared to normal " . This means that most xylose components in plants are wasted, only to be considered "discarded" , even in terms of microbial life.

In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a list of possible alternative fuels, including methane (methane) or electricity generated by wind action. There is no denying the cruel truth that none of the names on this list have caused much negative environmental impacts such as lead fuel and the current level of CO2 (the wind is even absolutely safe), but No solution is perfect and comprehensive.

In terms of methane use, the concentration of gases emitted into the environment is actually lower, but the long-term consequences seem to be quite negative compared to CO2, with the ability to keep excessive heat, unnecessary, leading to a more serious greenhouse effect. Wind power, at first it seems appropriate and attractive, but anything has weaknesses: life-threatening wind turbines of flying animals like birds, bats . from angles directly as collisions, indirectly such as dispersing habitat to serve sufficient area, or the sudden change in air pressure of the space around the turbine is enough to cause certain difficulties for operation. their living.

Base of research on hard-winged insects.

Therefore, there is hardly any method comparable to the new Xylome technology in both aspects: performance and environmental friendliness.

"The more xylose bacteria consume, the more fuel and energy is generated (in this case, ethanol). Xylome has been doing very well in this area, moving forward and improving its work. The positive effects of ethanol, providing and processing fuel are much higher than other forms, and this also contributes a lot in helping us believe in a promising future, with benefits. Huge benefits come from other mutations of xylose, " Donohue said.

In addition, this new type of energy production can be applied not only to traditional corn fields, but also grass, wood or other plant components that are not suitable for demand. daily life of people. This assumption means that the ethanol production industry has absolutely no negative impact on food demand worldwide.

Moreover, the competent authorities have carefully calculated the issue of utilizing existing facilities and production lines to serve production, instead of spending the mountains of expensive money to build new factories while can be used to improve a lot of shortcomings and shortcomings. A job sometimes, after all, is still a factor to be prioritized.

The development and research project is expected to create an economic revolution, promote and promote the expanded application of ethanol, and bring many benefits in both sales and environmental impact. school As expected, the first results will be announced in detail at the International Ethanol Conference and Exhibition taking place on June 20-23 here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
