When people or some OEMs focus on electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, some car companies have found new ways to re-develop traditional fuel vehicles. Since the traditional petroleum energy is non-renewable, are there any available and renewable fuel resources? Perhaps Ford's recent exposure of the use of "gutter oil" has inspired us.
As the saying goes, garbage is a misplaced resource. This shows that some seemingly useless wastes may become new resources if handled properly. For example, "gutter oil" is what we hate, but Ford has developed an engine that originally burned diesel, but by adding treated "gutter oil", it can also achieve the same power effect as diesel. Moreover, because "gutter oil" belongs to HVO, it does not contain sulfur and oxygen. After burning, it can not only reduce 90% of carbon dioxide emissions, but also reduce nitrogen oxides (nitrogen oxides). From the perspective of environmental protection, this can be said to be a real "green fuel".
At present, Ford is testing this brand-new "gutter oil" fuel, and not only Ford, but also many companies in European countries are conducting similar research and experiments. If HVO fuel can be widely promoted in the future, it will not only solve the problem of oil depletion, but also be green and environmentally friendly. I think this is more promising for many host manufacturers or new energy R&D units. After all, the internal combustion engine has evolved for more than one hundred years, and its maturity and reliability are the highest in the current power system.
To further develop Lenovo, if this hydrogenated vegetable fuel extracted from "gutter oil" is feasible, then the gutter oil that flows out of restaurants or family kitchens all over the world every year will have a useful place and is almost inexhaustible. As long as human beings are still eating, and I believe that the cost of recycling and refining these gutter oil is not higher than that from crude oil to diesel oil, so at present, this is almost the most perfect automobile energy solution.
Further association, in line with the principle of "existence is reasonable", genetically modified crops have attracted global attention in recent years. At present, although we can't point out the harm of this crop, we feel that this new thing is not good for human beings because of human instinct. If the engine using hydrogenated plant fuel is put into use, these genetically modified crops may also play a role, especially crops that can produce oil, such as soybeans and corn, which can be used as fuel sources for the engine. High output and simple refining mean low cost, which means that the cost of using hydrogenated plant fuel for users will be much lower than that of gasoline, diesel and other fuels at present.
If it is realized and applied in the future, do you expect this fuel?
