In article there is a speech about searches of new alternative power sources. Examples as the different countries of the world solve this problem are given.
Not rape uniform
The mankind isn’t tired to look for alternative power sources. Let we also position now ourselves as a power superstate, Russia wasn’t passed too by this fashionable tendency. Recently doesn’t pass also month that the next investor didn’t declare start of the new project on production of nonconventional fuel – a biodiesel engine or bioethanol. It is possible to do this fuel almost of any vegetative raw materials, since grain and finishing a soya and a rape.
For Russia such projects while in a novelty that you will not tell about other countries: in the same Brazil to which often compare capacity of our agrarian and industrial complex, in a tank of a car it is possible to fill in bioethanol on any filling. But unlike Brazilian, our projects are focused on export: to the power power new fuel to anything. And here to Europe and the USA to which don’t like long ago volatility, seemingly, seriously were engaged in search of alternative sources of heat and energy.
In Great Britain, for example, there are the combined heat and power plants working at food wastes and cow manure. One such installation developing from a waste biogas, can provide with an electricity to 1000 houses. The British government officially declared that by 2010 of 10 % of all electric power in the country will receive from biogas. In the USA the volume of its production is estimated in hundred millions cubic meter. Americans counted up: if to use biogas as fuel for cars, gasoline to them it is required for 8 % less, than now.
Japan and New Zealand too don’t lag behind. Japanese scientists thought up technology of receiving the fuel similar to gasoline, directly from manure. However, while its exit small – 1,5 g from 100 g of raw materials. New Zealanders are able to make a biodiesel engine not from a rape or a soya, and from algas which breed in sewer stores. In a year from hectare of waste "grounds" it is possible to receive "crop" which will suffice for development of 190 000 liters of fuel.
Certainly, many of these projects while only are studied. But the tendency is already obvious – the mankind looks for new power sources. As biofuel is milliard investments into development of agrarian and industrial complex and its infrastructure. The same biogas – than not option of a solution of the problem of gasification of villages?
