1, specific questions and answers
Why is the torch of Hangzhou Asian Games called zero-carbon torch? A: Zero carbon is its name. The torch fuel is zero-carbon methanol. C. zero carbon is the vision of life; The answer is B.
2, zero carbon methanol
This fuel is provided by Geely Holding Group, which comprehensively utilizes the by-product hydrogen in coke oven gas and carbon dioxide captured in industrial tail gas to synthesize green methanol. This green fuel utilization method not only reduces the dependence on traditional fossil fuels, but also achieves zero emissions in the cycle, which is in line with the concept of green, low-carbon and environmental protection of Hangzhou Asian Games.
3. The significance of using zero-carbon methanol
This innovative use of zero-carbon methanol as torch fuel is not only the first time in the history of the Asian Games, but also the first time in the world's large-scale sports events. Therefore, the naming of "Zero Carbon Torch" is not only an affirmation of its environmental protection characteristics, but also a praise for Geely Holding Group's scientific and technological innovation and environmental protection concept.
As one of the largest and most concerned sports events in Asia, the Hangzhou Asian Games shoulders the responsibility of developing sustainable sports and protecting the environment. The zero-carbon emission technology represented by the main torch will become a symbol to encourage people to pay more attention to environmental protection and reduce carbon emissions.
4. Traditional torch and new fuel torch
Traditional torches usually use coal gas or liquefied petroleum gas as fuel, and the combustion of these fuels will produce a lot of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, which will have a negative impact on the environment. The main torch of Hangzhou Asian Games, which uses methanol as the main fuel, has completely solved this problem, achieved zero carbon emission, not only reduced the pollution to the atmospheric environment, but also transmitted a value of environmental protection and sustainable development to the whole world.
Methanol, also known as wood essence, is a colorless and volatile liquid, which can be used as a renewable clean energy to replace traditional fuels. Compared with traditional fuels, the combustion process of methanol produces zero pollutants and almost zero carbon emissions, so it is widely regarded as a green energy choice.
In the design of the main torch of Hangzhou Asian Games, methanol was used in the torch combustion system. Through the design of high-efficiency lamp and furnace structure, it is ensured that the main torch can burn methanol stably and efficiently and produce bright and lasting flame. The biggest highlight of this black technology lies in its zero carbon emission characteristics.
In addition, using methanol as fuel also has the advantages of safety and sustainability. Methanol is relatively stable and difficult to burn, which greatly reduces the risk of accidents when the torch burns. At the same time, methanol can be produced in many ways, including natural gas, coal and biomass, which is rich in resources and ensures the continuous supply of fuel.
