当前世界上能源供应紧张,尤其是在能源消费构成中占50％左右的液体矿物能源石油储量特别有限,按照现在消费速度下去,仅够用几十年时间。所以一些科学家们正把注意力从矿物能源转移到植物能源上来,希望从一些特殊的植物中提取出油来代替目前广泛使用的柴油、汽油等矿物燃料。目前已发现了下列几种很有前途的植物性能源——“柴油树”。 At present, the world’s energy supply is tight, especially in the composition of energy consumption, which accounts for about 50% of the liquid mineral energy oil reserves are particularly limited, according to the current consumption rate, only enough for decades. So some scientists are shifting their attention from fossil energy to plant energy. They hope to extract oil from some special plants to replace the widely used fossil fuels such as diesel and gasoline. At present, the following kinds of promising plant energy sources have been discovered: “diesel trees.”
