正当温室效应日趋恶化,人们对清洁能源的渴求越来越迫切的时候,媒体陆续传来美国、日本在各自海域发现新能源的消息。 所谓新能源实际上就是冷藏在海底的甲烷,学名为甲烷水合物或水化甲烷,是气体甲烷在海底低温、高压下形成的结晶体,外表被水分子包围起来看上去如冰雪般晶莹透明。甲烷是可燃气体,即便结“冰”也会神奇地被点燃,因此有人称它为“可燃冰”。 可喜的是前不久,我国也在南海、东海海域发现海底甲烷,据报道,其蕴藏量相当于目前全国能源总量的50％。尤为可喜的是,这是一种燃烧后不会产生任何污染物的清洁能源,所以在环保呼声日益高涨的今天更被世人看好。 At a time when the greenhouse effect is worsening and people’s thirst for clean energy is becoming more and more urgent, the media have successively sent news of the discovery of new energy by the United States and Japan in their respective seas. The so-called new energy is actually refrigerated in the seabed of methane, known as methane hydrate or hydrated methane, is the formation of gas methane in the sea under low temperature and high pressure crystals, looks surrounded by water molecules look like snow and crystal clear. Methane is a flammable gas. Even if the knot “ice” is magically ignited, some people call it “flammable ice.” The good news is not long ago, our country is also found in the South China Sea, the East China Sea seabed methane, it is reported that its reserves equivalent to 50% of the current total energy. What is particularly gratifying is that this is a clean energy that does not produce any pollutants after burning. Therefore, it is more and more optimistic about the ever-increasing environmental protection voice today.
