东京,2010年10月6日 - 川崎重工业,有限公司今天宣布,它已经雇用了先进的亚临界水性生物乙醇生产技术,以成功地生产稻米植物的生物乙醇作为汽车燃料。

This latest achievement is all part of a larger national bioethanol demonstration project, an initiative by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to establish a bioenergy technology utilizing untapped soft cellulose biomass such as rice straw and husk that will not compete with food production. Kawasaki has been working on the project jointly with Akita Agriculture Public Corporation since January 2009. Kawasaki is responsible for bioethanol production and automobile performance testing with the support of the Akita Prefectural Government while Akita Agriculture Public Corporation is in charge of soft cellulose harvesting and transportation test operations.

Kawasaki designed and built a test production plant with a daily bioethanol output of 200 liters in Akita Prefecture’s Katagami City in November 2009. Road tests using the new bioethanol fuel produced at the plant were conducted at the Solar Sports Line in the prefecture’s renowned rice production region of Oogata. The tests demonstrated that a flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) operated stably and proved that the new soft cellulose-based fuel met current automobile fuel standards.

生物乙醇生产演示项目利用川崎的先进的亚临界水性生物乙醇生产技术,用于纤维素的糖化。与使用硫酸或酶的常规系统不同,这种新技术利用亚临界水来糖化纤维素。新系统通过消除硫酸回收系统,耐酸室以及目前以高价格交易的任何酶来降低生产成本。该技术还可用于通过简单地改变加热的水条件来塑造除稻草和稻壳之外的软纤维素材料。

Kawasaki设计和制造了所有生物乙醇生产植物的预处理,糖化,发酵,蒸馏和脱水加工设施。Kawasaki将继续进行测试,直到该项目于2012年3月结束,直到项目结束。最终目标是在商业化系统之前将每升生产成本降低到40日元或更少。

Kawasaki通过开发和应用来建立可持续发展的社会,这些技术和系统减少减少排放并有效地利用未开发的可再生能源,如生物量,风和太阳能。
