Chapter 139 Burning wood is the best clean energy!

"Environmental issues?"

Oliver, who had been bombarded by De Jong for nearly half an hour, obviously couldn't keep up with Han Feng's escaped thoughts, and after a few seconds he replied almost formulaically: "Of course, this is our One of the major issues the world is facing right now, climate change in particular, is threatening the entire planet, so reducing greenhouse gas emissions is something I have been thinking about and will focus on.”

In today's Europe, environmental protection is the highest priority and is absolutely politically correct. Anyone who dares to make trouble with environmental protection will be overwhelmed by the media's verbal criticism in an instant. Therefore, Oliver's answer is quite satisfactory. Nothing wrong.

After hearing this, Han Feng glanced at De Rong next to him calmly—this person is obviously normal, so how can he be so funny.

Watch me act a real fun guy.

"Mr. Derivo, when I came to Europe last time, I visited Belgium and several surrounding countries." Han Feng loosened the tie around his neck, and changed the topic to a direction that seemed to have nothing to do with it before. : "I find that, with the exception of Gaul, most of the Europa Union countries are still highly dependent on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas for electricity generation, which frankly makes me feel very sad. Didn't set an example enough."

This speech stunned De Jong on one side. Han Feng's tone and statement were almost exactly the same as that group of Green Party clamoring every day to completely abandon fossil energy.

Could it be...he is a spy sent by the Green Party?

In an instant, De Jong has already made up many kinds of plots of infernal affairs in his mind.

"Uh... carbon emission reduction is indeed our goal, but it obviously needs a process. You know, people also need to maintain normal life, such as electricity and heating in winter." Oliver also had a confused expression Fortunately, he does have a lot of friends with members of the Green Party. Not only is he familiar with dealing with this kind of problem, but he also knows that these environmentalists who are usually boastful don't understand anything except slogans.

So Oliver immediately asked back: "Mr. Han, do you have any feasible measures to promote the environmental protection actions of the Europa Alliance? After all, I am a member of parliament, and it is impossible to ask the people to give up their basic living needs."

However, this question fell into Han Feng's hands.

Of course he is not a Green Party, nor is he an environmentalist, but he is just going to use this idea to convince the other party.

"Mr. Oliver is the right person to ask this question." Han Feng raised his legs and looked like a master: "The future of clean energy in Europe lies in Afrikaans, so our BI Group is in Afrikaans ahead of schedule." The card has a layout, and the old Jazz just saw this and chose to cooperate with us."

"Is that so?"

Oliver was somewhat skeptical about this statement. Although he seldom contacted Pascal, he also knew that his father didn't like emerging political forces such as women's rights, environmental protection, and animal protection.

"That's right, although the old Sir is relatively...conservative politically, he also knows that environmental protection issues are an unavoidable trend in Europe today. You know, he has devoted his life to bridging the contradictions in the Belgian Parliament, so he also hopes We can reach some cooperation with the Green Party in environmental protection." Han Feng said with a serious and sad face: "It's a pity that before the old knight realized his wish to unite the parliament, he..."

According to the previous introduction by De Jong and his previous understanding of Pascal, Han Feng made up this set of rhetoric without any loopholes, coupled with his appearance of being moved by true feelings, the balance in Oliver's heart gradually tilted to the side of belief .

More importantly, based on his understanding of his father, the other party is indeed a person who knows the art of compromise.

And Oliver also remembered that about two months ago, Pascal did call him uncharacteristically, asking to meet with several feminists who were usually at odds with each other. Afterwards, he asked about the situation when the two parties met , The answer I got was that the two sides had a very happy talk.

Reasonable, very reasonable.

"Okay, but what does clean energy have to do with Afrika?" Oliver asked with some doubts: "Do you want to use Afrika's resource advantages to develop the photovoltaic industry? With all due respect, the issue of the photovoltaic industry … is politically close to suicide.”

The photovoltaic war between Europe and China has ended two years ago, and now more than 70% of the photovoltaic products in the European market are provided by Huaxia. It is impossible to promote solar energy as a core policy.

"Of course not." Han Feng waved his hand: "The current clean energy is actually not suitable for European countries, especially not for Belgium."

Such a violent comment instantly aroused Oliver's interest, and he knew that the Green Party would like this kind of surprising content very much: "How to say?"

"At present, the new energy sources promoted by the Europa Alliance are nothing more than several kinds." Han Feng adjusted his sitting posture, and stretched out a finger to Oliver: "Nuclear energy, I believe that after the Fukushima nuclear accident triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the European people Talk of nuclear has changed, and even France, which has always been highly dependent on nuclear energy, has begun to shut down nuclear power plants, let alone other countries, so it is by no means a qualified option.”

Oliver nodded. In today's Europe, if anyone dares to talk about the large-scale application of nuclear energy, he will be scolded so much that he dare not go out the next day.

"Solar energy." Han Feng stretched out his second finger: "In addition to being politically unfeasible, the current solar panels have a very low conversion efficiency for solar energy. To obtain sufficient power generation requires a large area of ​​solar power plants. Land is very expensive, and many countries are located in high latitude areas, and the sunshine is scarce during the peak electricity consumption in winter, which cannot meet the demand at all.”

This time, even De Jong next to Han Feng began to nod. There is no way. Although many people hate the Green Party, under the overwhelming environmental protection propaganda, very few Europeans are not interested in such things.

"Wind energy, like solar energy, requires large-scale wind farms, and the power generation is unstable. It also requires energy storage, which requires too much investment. Moreover, the process of manufacturing wind turbines and solar panels is not environmentally friendly, which is contrary to our original purpose."

Han Feng stretched out his third finger while speaking, and then looked at the serious expressions of Oliver and De Jong, he knew it was time.

"So the focus of our BI Group's research is the new type of biomass energy." Han Feng patted the armrest of the sofa heavily.

"Biomass energy?"

As a German, Oliver quickly thought of jokes from the hell of World War II such as soap, but he felt rationally that the man in front of him probably didn't mean to make such jokes.

"Yes, biomass energy." Han Feng repeated the term that may be unfamiliar to Oliver: "Biomass energy is the energy provided by living plants in nature. You know, the essence of plant photosynthesis is to convert Solar energy is converted into chemical energy, so the essence of biomass energy is solar energy, but its utilization efficiency is many times higher than that of solar energy, not only is it a renewable energy source, but also does not produce additional pollution during plant growth."

"..."

"..."

Oliver and De Jong intuitively felt that something was wrong, but it seemed reasonable to think about it rationally.

"So... what exactly does this biomass energy refer to?" Oliver decided to directly ask the topic he was most interested in.

"Of course it's all kinds of natural organic matter, mainly trees." Han Fengtu looked at it poorly.

"Wood burning is clean energy?" Oliver said, "Don't lie to me, I've read the book." The main component of wood is cellulose, and it will still produce a lot of carbon emissions after burning. How can this solve the problem of carbon emissions? "

Han Feng stretched out his hand and pressed down: "Mr. Oliver, you don't know about that."

Afterwards, Han Feng popularized the concept of "carbon sink" to the two uninformed Europeans in front of him like a magic stick.

Simply put, since plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis during the growth process, the carbon sink produced by it as an energy source in this process is a negative value, and after the plants are made into biomass energy, the carbon dioxide released by burning At most, it will not exceed the amount it absorbs during the growth process, so if the whole life cycle calculation is carried out, the carbon emission of biomass fuel with plants as the main carrier is 0.

There is only one core idea - since we cannot change the technology, we should change the statistical method.

This conclusion shocked Oliver and De Jong, and they were speechless for a long time.

Han Feng was not surprised at all, because when he heard this theory for the first time, his behavior was exactly the same as these two people.

Yes, of course, this shameless carbon sink theory was not created by Han Feng himself, but a few years later, Europeans who had to burn wood due to natural gas shortages and were unwilling to put down the banner of environmental protection wanted to make up for it. And what Han Feng created, he just made it known to the world a few years in advance.

"But... do I have to tell the Green Party in the parliament to let all Europeans burn wood?" Oliver felt that his mouth muscles were a little stiff, and he asked after a while.

"Of course this is not possible. Burning wood is too untechnical, and it is not conducive to publicity." Han Feng shook his head, then took a piece of paper and a pen from the side: "So, we BI has developed a brand new product, sawdust-based biomass pellet fuel."

While talking, Han Feng drew a structure on the paper according to his own memory.

"Our granule products include composite core layer, straw layer, asphalt layer, sawdust layer..."

"The modified sawdust and straw are compounded and extruded with other effective additives. The surface of the particles has nano-scale air holes to ensure sufficient combustion. It is safer than burning coal or wood directly..."

"This product uses a wide range of materials, low pollution, high calorific value, high density, high molding rate, in line with the development trend of environmental protection, energy saving, and renewable recycling..."

Anyway, half an hour later, Oliver, who had not taken it seriously before, held Han Feng's hand with tears in his eyes.

"You're right, wood, oh no, sawdust base..."

"Sawdust-based biomass pellet fuel." Han Feng reminded with a smile.

"Yes, sawdust-based biomass pellet fuel is the real clean energy!"
