Greenhouse gases will be transformed into green fuel
Visa is a Finnish company, its products include gas measuring equipment used in industry field.As the economy to have business profitability economic transformation, the visa is in the development of frontier.
The product managerAntti HeikkilaArmed with a metal brandy bottle looks like instrument, the potential of this product.Despite appearances, this product is not a wine bottle.It is made by visa, biogas plant measuring equipment.
"When you have to turn waste into biogas, this process also generates methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor.Methane is combustible gases and can be used for energy production, so is the focus in the process of extracting object."
Biogas is now a hot topic, because it is a kind of green energy, but the premise is related process to get accurate measurement.As greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, methane is 20 times of CO2.Instead its emissions into the air, the potential of using it as a high quality fuel.
No matter from the point of view of natural resources and economic resources, not effective utilization of methane is a waste.
"Visa instrument has made a response to this kind of specific needs, through improving energy output, lower operating costs, make it possible to optimize the whole process."
The generation of waste will never stop, but it can in the process of alternatives to fossil fuels play a big role.
Broad requirements
Visa was founded in 1936, the initial for meteorological instrument manufacturing enterprise.About 40 years ago, visa industrial measurement equipment should be brought into the product range.Though our current business export-oriented, but visa in Finland local also have large customer base, including many industrial companies and urban waste management and waste water treatment plant.
At the end of the day, from the macroscopic level, almost all around the world have the same demand.Waste is always present, but it has great potential in terms of replace fossil fuels.
"Urbanization will lead to more waste, but also make more concentrated waste, making it wider implementation of waste incineration power generation solution possible.In large waste treatment facilities, for example, biological methane production is high profit link."
From the micro level, the farm can use biodegradable waste to provide heat and electricity.But with fuel, consumers are more interested in the topic of private cars.However, at least in the context of the current situation, the electric car got quite a lot of attention.Heikkila thought, heavy vehicles reflects the huge might using biogas.
"Gas engine for trucks and buses, more practical than rechargeable batteries.The number of batteries needed for this size vehicles very much, to recharge the battery, often interrupt transportation operations.Most of the local bus has been in the use of natural gas, as compared to natural gas, biological methane is a kind of more ecological and environmental protection of alternative fuels, so the existing bus may be increasingly use biological methane, "Heikkila explained.
From the biological to the biological economy
Visa strategic marketing managerRasmus StoltzenbergPointed out that, according to the world association of biogas utilization of biogas still not been in more than 90%.
"A lot can be anaerobic digestion for energy production waste still didn't get to use, and at the same time, but drilling on the exploitation of non-renewable oil and gas reserves."Stoltzenberg said.
Change the existing mechanisms need to invest a lot of time.biogas的使用量正在增加，但改变需要投资。我们需要建设大量工厂，但这不可能在一夕之间实现。政策制定者在这方面发挥着非常重要的作用。他们能够通过经济激励措施鼓励社会积极采用可再生和可持续能源。然而，这种转变不能完全依靠政治决策。
"When the government subsidies to reduce, the enterprise needs to make biological methane a more commercial business profitability.This is a permanent shift of the fundamental.We can do is to provide clients with the tools necessary to help them in all true in biological process in the field of biological economy."Stoltzenberg concluded.
