能源与环境问题评论

Comments on Energy and Environment Problems

摘要: 能源研究的核心是解决可持续和清洁化问题，据此本文核心逐一评议各类能源的现状及前景。本文指出氢能利用的两个关键问题难以解决，应大力发展甲烷燃料，并推介作者实验室在可再生氢的制备、贫甲烷燃料的富集和存储以及将煤炭变成绿色能源等方面的创新性研究。笔者认为地球变暖非能源之过，当前的减排策略不能解决环境变暖问题，二氧化碳排放量由人口总量决定是一条无法撼动的生态法则。环境问题根源于人类活动导致碳元素在地表的积累，因此强制碳循环(FCC)是比碳捕集与埋藏(CCS)更有效的环保原则。

Abstract: The target of energy research is to make energy clean and sustainable. Comments were given on each type of energy sources regarding the present status and future with respect to the target. It is claimed that hydrogen energy is still far away from reality and methane fuel deserves intensive development. The author’s innovative research on the preparation of sustainable hydrogen, enrichment of methane from lean fuels, its storage on wet active carbon as well as a novel technology to transform coal into a green energy source were reported. It is pointed out that energy is not responsible for earth warming, and all strategies and measures taken at present do not function in preventing the trend of warming. That the world population determines global CO2 emission is an ecological rule of nature, and human activities cause the accumulation of carbon element on earth surface. Therefore, the strategy of Forced Carbon Circulation (FCC) proposed by the author is more effective and practical than the so-called CCS (carbon capture and storage) strategy for environment protection.
