森林能源与人类文明

论述了森林能源对人类文明进步发挥的重大作用。2005年,世界薪材消耗量达15.5亿m3以上,占木材总消耗量31亿m3的50%。全世界发展中国家约有15亿以上的人口,仍依靠薪材为主要生活能源。森林能源是潜力巨大、可再生的清洁能源。应用化学、物理或生物的转换技术,将其转换成高热效的气体和液体燃料,是世界新能源开发利用的一个重要方面。在我国营造薪炭林发展森林能源,对调整农业结构、增加农民收入、改善农村环境、促进新农村建设具有重大的现实意义。

Forest Energy and Human Civilization

The paper has described the great function that the forest energy gives play to the progress of human civilization. In 2005, the material consumption of the firewood in the world reaches above 1550 million m3, accounting for 50 percent of the total timber consumption 3100 million m3. Developing countries of whole world nearly have population of more than 1500 million, still rely on the material of firewood to be the everyday energy. The forest energy is the clean energy with enormous, renewable potentiality. Applied chemistry, physics or biological switch technology, change it into gas, liquid, fuel, it is an important means that the world utilize and develop new resouces. It has great realistic meanings to build the fuel forest in China for the development of forest energy, the new socialism countryside building, adjusting the agricultural structure, increasing peasant's income, improving the rural environment etc.
