Thread Content

On the morning of February 28, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation jointly held the launch meeting of the 'Microalgae Biodiesel Complete Technology' project. Sinopec's * The meeting was attended by Academician Min Enze, Academician Cao Xianghong, Deputy Chief Engineer Yang Yuan, and leaders and experts from Sinopec Science and Technology Development Department, Development Planning Department, Petrochemical Research Institute and other relevant units. Li Jinghai, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xiao Yunhan, Deputy Director of the High Technology Bureau, managers of the Biology Bureau and High Technology Bureau, and relevant experts attended the meeting. The two parties discussed and evaluated the relevant contents of the project. Academician Min Enze, the initiator of the microalgae biodiesel complete technology project, introduced the organizational process of the project. He pointed out that in the process of converting microalgae into biodiesel, microalgae is the foundation and the photoreactor is the key to the conversion. Strategic research must be strengthened from beginning to end. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and China National Petroleum Corporation are cooperating to develop microalgae biodiesel technology and will complete pilot studies in the near future. ； Realize the research and development of outdoor pilot equipment around 2015 ； In the long term, a 10,000-ton industrial demonstration device will be built. Li Jinghai emphasized that microalgae is a bioenergy with great potential, but scale and cost are the two major bottlenecks in the current development of microalgae. Therefore, microalgae biodiesel technology should be regarded as a long-term undertaking, and attention should be paid to program and route selection. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Sinopec have cooperated closely from the beginning in the forward-looking field of microalgae biodiesel, which has provided a good example for cooperation between academia and industry and is of great significance. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is currently implementing a solar energy action plan, and microalgae bioenergy is also an important part of it. Academician Cao Xianghong pointed out that in terms of project technology and economy, we must take a long-term view and persist in long-term operations. As technology advances and environmental requirements increase, microalgae biodiesel technology will become more competitive. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of both parties, form complementary advantages, strive to produce high-level scientific and technological achievements, and form the right to operate technology freely. Deputy Chief Engineer Yang Yuan concluded that this cooperation is a strong alliance and has a complete industrial chain. Both parties should make full use of it. * * policy, strive for * * support. He required the project to establish a leading group and working group, strengthen project organization and management, and sublime the isolated evaluation system into an overall evaluation system for microalgae biodiesel, and establish and improve the technical, economic and environmental evaluation system for microalgae biodiesel from beginning to end. Under the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement between Sinopec Group Corporation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Sinopec Science and Technology Development Department, the High Technology Bureau and the Biology Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences decided to jointly carry out microalgae biodiesel technology project cooperation after a joint investigation. The two parties will sign a project cooperation agreement in the near future.
