Chapter 847 (1/2)

Petroleum plants are not the first creation of human beings in the future.

As early as the 1970s, Melvin Calvin, the Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, discovered a tall evergreen tree called ”rubber tree with three leaves” in the rainforest of Brazil. As long as you drill a hole in the tree, you can produce a small amount of oil similar to diesel oil.

In 1986, the United States took the lead in planting ”petroleum plants”. Subsequently, Britain, France, Japan, Brazil, the Philippines, Russia and other countries have also carried out the research and application of ”petroleum plants”, and established new green oil production bases such as ”petroleum botanical garden” and ”oil farm”.

Unfortunately, up to now, this kind of green energy has not been widely used.

It's not because it's not easy to use, but because of the cost and production.

Let's talk about the output first.

What is Saudi Arabia's oil production? According to the data released by OPEC, in 2018, this number has exceeded the historical peak of 12.5 million barrels per day!

Yes, 12.5 million barrels a day! Think about the concept?

For example, the United States, which is relatively advanced in the field of petroleum plant research, only about 140 barrels of ”oil” is harvested per hectare of ”oil farm” each year. If you look at it more broadly, even if it's the same mass as 120 barrels of crude oil. At present, there are only 100000 hectares of petroleum plants in the United States, and the annual oil production is only 12 million barrels.

Very intuitive data, has been very intuitive to explain the problem.

The oil production of petroleum plants in the United States is less than that of OPEC members in a day. Of course, it is not as good as the daily oil production of Texas.

It is obviously unrealistic for such a production to shake the status of oil.

Therefore, all countries only regard this kind of ”petroleum plant” as an alternative development item of energy strategy, and subsidize these ”farms” through various energy and environmental protection policies, so that they will not die. After all, no one can say what the future looks like.

Maybe one day, the Middle East has dug up the last drop of oil, and these petroleum plants may be the lifesaving straw to solve the energy crisis.

Of course, there is only hope.

After all, the output is too small!

However, the future human biology laboratory, the ”oil palm” is different. With just a small cut, 10 liters of SAP can flow from the bottom of the bark! A barrel of oil is equivalent to 159 liters, and 16 trees can produce a barrel of oil. And this kind of SAP can be collected once a week!

According to the fact that 100 oil palms can be planted per mu, the average daily output of one mu of land is close to a barrel of oil!

100000 Mu is the daily output of 100000 barrels of oil. Only one million mu of this ”oil palm” needs to be planted, and several refineries dedicated to refining this kind of tree juice should be built. Let alone the new country's energy demand can be met, even if it is to export to the next big oil importing country, I'm afraid it will be enough!

After coming out of the laboratory of future human biology, Jiang Chen immediately ordered to purchase the oil palm on the market with all his strength, and on the other hand, asked Tao ming to urge the laboratory to do its best to deal with the acquired oil palm by special means such as inducing differentiation.

The former is very easy to handle. The oil palm is very common in Luzon, Mindanao, New Guinea and even in New Zealand. Jiang Chen made a phone call. Without saying a word, Santos organized the farmers of Moluo country to enter the mountains. He pulled millions of oil palms with trucks and tractors to wogang and sold them to futuren group at a reasonable price.

This amount is more than enough for the rich Mindanao Island, but Santos is complacent about making a fortune. Jiang Chen paid him at least 20 million dollars, and he had to pay no more than one million to those farmers.

After careful consideration, Jiang Chen gave up his plan to plant oil palms in the Philippines.

It's better to put this kind of good thing in your own country. Although the Philippines has become a virtual vassal of the star ring trade, the monkeys are outsiders after all. During the cold war, the relationship between Japan and the United States was so strong that Japanese enterprises did not sell several five axis CNC machine tools?
