Scientists use bionic plants to create a sustainable gasoline alternative

Science Fiction Network August 18 (Liu Yazhu) Gasoline, as a non -renewable resource, is mainly used for transportation of transportation tools, and is one of the largest lightweight petroleum products. However, as early as 2017, the gasoline was included in the 2B carcinogen list by the WHO.

In recent years, scientists have been committed to finding clean energy that can replace oil. Recently, a study published in the "Nature" magazine shows that scientists have created an ultra -thin and flexible equipment through the photosynthetic effect of bionic plants, which can produce a sustainable gasoline substitute.

As we all know, the ocean accounts for about 71%of the surface of the earth. With the progress and development of science, in order to alleviate the lack of mineral resources, accelerate the development and use of marine resources to become the top choice. At the same time, the mining of marine oil resources has also become an inevitable choice.

Under the increasingly frequent activities of oil -related activities at sea, the safety of oil transportation at sea has become a loophole. Once a well sprayed during the mining process, major oil leakage and oil spill occurred during transportation. Lakes will not be spared.

At the same time, about 80%of the world's trade is transported by fossil fuel -powered cargo ships. Therefore, it is imminent to develop clean energy and create a sustainable new energy that can replace gasoline.

It is reported that the new equipment can not only use the principle of photosynthesis to plant leaves to convert sunlight into fuel, but also float on the water like a leaf. Scientists believe that this low cost can produce clean fuels on water, or can help the global shipping industry to reduce the use of oil fuels such as petroleum and alleviate global warming.
