日前,美国能源部西北太平洋国家实验室已经找到了一种将排泄物转化为生物原油的方法。生物原油是一种类似石油的物质,能够提纯并作为燃料使用。这种方法实际上就像地球造就石油的过程,只不过不再需要经过数百万年时间。我们目前所依赖的主要燃料还是来自于石油原油,从各种各样的交通工具到家庭供暖,人类社会已经离不开石油。不过,西北太平洋国家实验室开发出了“水热液化” Recently, the Northwest Pacific National Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy has found a way to convert excrement into bio-crude oil. Bio-crude oil is a petroleum-like substance that can be purified and used as a fuel. This method is actually just like the earth’s oil-making process, but it will take no longer millions of years. The main fuel we rely on now is still oil from crude oil, from all kinds of transport to home heating, human society has been inseparable from the oil. However, the Northwest Pacific National Laboratory has developed a “hydrothermal liquefaction”
