China's first industrial project of biodiesel synthesis by enzyme was officially launched in Qinhuangdao leading technology company "Adding 5% of the enzyme into the diesel to synthesize biodiesel can reduce pollution emissions by 20% and improve fuel utilization by 30%." Yu Yonghong, project director of Qinhuangdao leading company, said the technology is in line with the future development direction It is understood that the project is expected to be completed by the end of this year and put into production in May next year, with an annual output of 50000 tons At present, there are two production methods of biodiesel in the world: chemical reaction method and biosynthesis method, Yu Yonghong said At present, most of the domestic production of biodiesel uses strong acid and strong base as reaction catalyst Although this method has the advantages of simple equipment, low investment and technical finalization, it also brings problems of high energy consumption and environmental pollution However, it is an ideal choice to use renewable plant resources instead of strong acids and bases, and to reduce the emission of pollutants But for a long time, this technology is only available to the United States, Canada, Brazil and Australia According to Yu Yonghong, the price of biodiesel synthesized by enzyme method is certainly higher than that of ordinary diesel The price of biodiesel in European market is 4-6 times of that of traditional diesel.
