This fuel may become a key driving force for energy transformation

Wood Mackenzie, a world -renowned energy consultant company, released the latest report recently that waste -based biofuel -based bio -fuel may be a key driving force for energy transformation, or it can change the limited supply of low -carbon transportation fuels today and create local local. Circular Economy.

With the world's transition to new sustainable energy, some ignored biofuels may play an important role. At present, biofuels account for only 3%of the needs of 100 million barrels of liquid fuel daily today. However, the development of new technologies that promote the production of biofuels from urban waste, agricultural residues and recycling plastic waste may change the rules of energy transformation.

Wood Mackenzie said that by 2050, the application of new technology can provide an additional 20 million barrels/day liquid biofuel to meet a quarter of all liquid fuel demand (95 million barrels/day in 2050), which is equivalent to 2050 Three -quarters of the demand for distilled oil division in the year.

By using waste materials as fuel, it will greatly save landfill or incineration costs and related emissions. Bio -diesel and aviation fuels from plant raw materials are 80%less carbon than crude oil products. Waste -based biofuels will be "suppressed" carbon emissions at similar speeds and solve problems for difficulty electrified industries. According to the International Energy Agency, the net zero road requires nearly half of the biofuel (45%) that consume nearly half of 2030 must be produced by waste.

All kinds of technologies that transform solid waste into liquid are under development. These include pre -treatment of "cleaning" materials, and then perform thermal cracking (thermal solution or gasification) to convert waste materials into hydrocarbons. The last stage is processed in the traditional oil refinery to create a crude oil product we use today. This process will generate a circular economy.

Due to the expensive cost of long -distance transportation solid waste and localization of the supply chain, products can be collected and processed in small -scale factories outside the town.

In the process of turning waste into biofuels, localization is an advantage. The biofuel production system is the center of the radiation distribution mode. In this mode, the waste agent was initially transformed into biofuels, and then the generated liquid fuel was gathered in the existing refining facilities for processing. This will bring great benefits to the local economy and employment, and provide strong support for the government to formulate incentive measures.

These incentive measures can adopt the form of "carbon tax" to create a fair competitive environment for fossil fuel products, and significantly improve the competitiveness of biofuels.

Biofuels will emit carbon dioxide when burning, but the net emissions of its life cycle are much lower than that of fossil fuels. If the development of waste -based biofuels is smooth, the impact of accelerating energy conversion is amazing.

In Wood Mackenzie's "Accelerated Energy Conversion-1.5" scene, by 2050, global liquid fuel demand will drop to 35 million barrels/day. Biofuels can meet two -thirds of liquid fuel needs in the transportation field and provide circular raw materials for petrochemical products.

We have seen large petrochemical companies developing chemical waste plastic recycling projects to prove that these technologies are feasible. If the refining industry starts to deal with waste materials to produce biofuels and government support this measure, we may embark on a feasible road to the circular economy. This circular economy has a lot of benefits and environmental protection. This is a win -win situation.
