Shaanxi: Output of the West's First Barrel of "Biomass Oil"

"Look, out of the oil! So fast, only ten seconds." At 14 o'clock noon of the end of April, surrounded by mountains and mountains in the science and technology industrial park of Yijun County, Shaanxi Province, Tongchuan Biomass Energy Co., Ltd. Pyrolytic production of 10,000 tons of "biomass crude oil" put into production ceremony, when the first barrel of the western "biomass oil" flowed out, people came to watch rare people in all directions can not help but make such a surprise.

"Biomass oil" is a mixture of moisture and complex oxygenated organic matter, ie a mixture of various degradation products of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Its raw materials mainly come from trees, crop stalks, and processing residues of agricultural and forestry products, such as wood chips and rice husks. "Biomass oil" can be directly used as a fuel for oil-fired boilers and industrial kilns. The cost is only three-fifths of the diesel market price; fuel, heavy oil, coal tar, etc., as well as various other chemicals can be derived from deep processing. Raw materials, manufacturing organic fertilizers and preservatives.

Shen Xinghua, chairman of the Tongchuan-based Bio-Energy Technology Co., Ltd., told the reporter that the oil we usually use is produced by the chemical reaction of animals and plants buried in the ground at high temperatures, and eventually generates oil and natural gas, generating at least 2 million years of time. At present, we are exploring the comprehensive development of biomass oil in a number of companies and scientific research institutes within the United Nations, as well as applications in power generation, heating, and other fields. The prospects are very broad.

Experts said that "biomass oil" is a strategic alternative to petroleum, and its production technology is a national 863 major scientific research achievement project of Northeast Forestry University. It achieves the goal of not competing with people and not competing with grain. Renewable clean energy is an environmentally friendly technology project. The birth of the first barrel of “biomass oil” in the western region marked the beginning of the industrialization of the 863 major scientific research results. It will provide demonstration effects for the bioenergy in Shaanxi and even the entire western region, and will not only bring economic growth to the region. It will also promote the construction of new rural areas and drive farmers to increase income.
