打赢“碳中和”的攻坚战离不开生物质——以生物基甲醇为例

To capture the victory of realizing carbon neutrality,biomass is a dispensable support:A case of methanol

分析了实现碳中和过程中存在的电力代替不了的、类似在国际航运界受到重视燃料的领域和有30%的工业部门很难实现碳中和的问题。提出了单纯依靠风电或光伏电不能完全实现碳中和,要解决脱碳的攻坚难题,离不开生物质脱碳的独特作用,忽视生物质能和生物基合成材料的倾向需要尽快得到改正。

Since International Maritime Organization(IMO)and European Parliament issued their decarbonization targets for ocean transportation,the bio-methanol('green methanol')has suddenly attracted enormous attention,and its supply falls short of demand.Such an event proves the anxieties about the existence of so-called'hard-to-electrify'and'harder-to-abate industries',by the international climate change circle.Methanol has been regarded as an ideal energy carrier.This case reminds that it is not realistic to realize carbon neutrality by only depending upon wind energy or photovoltaic energy.In order to find the solution,it is crucial to play the specific role of biomass.The tendency of neglecting bioenergy and bio-based materials has to be corrected.
