法国农业科学研究院(INRA)从2006年春天开始,对法国本土25个省内的新种植物进行了调研,结果显示象草(P.purpureum Schum,也称“芒草”)位居新种植植物品种的榜首。它为何会受到如此青睐?原来,这种植物有可能在“第二代生物燃料”这一革新产业中扮演关键角色。专家们在为制造这种燃料而筛选植物品种时,不再考量它能生产多少种子或果实,而仅仅看它的茎叶数量够不够多!法国石油研究院(IFP)、法国农业科学研究院和法国原子能委员会(CEA)正在共同研发新的工艺,希望通过对植物中含有的一种主要化合物—木质纤维素进行再利用,从而把整株植物变成汽油和柴油,而不再像今天这样只局限于种子或块茎。
From the spring of 2006, INRA conducted a survey of new plant species in 25 local French provinces and found that P. purpureum Schum (also called “Miscanthus”) ranked among the newly planted plants Variety of the top. Why is it so favored that the plant could have played a key role in the revolutionary industry of “second generation biofuels.” Experts in the selection of plant varieties for the manufacture of this fuel no longer consider how many seeds or fruits it can produce, but simply do not have enough stems and leaves to produce it! The French Institute of Petroleum (IFP), the French Academy of Agricultural Sciences And the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) are working together on a new process that hopes to turn whole plants into gasoline and diesel by reusing lignocellulose, one of the main compounds in plants, instead of today Only limited to seeds or tubers.
