What fuel is in the torch of the Winter Olympics?

There is hydrogen energy in the torch of the Winter Olympics. The torch of Beijing Winter Olympics is made of carbon fiber and burns hydrogen energy, achieving zero emissions for the first time in Olympic history. The torch was developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, produced by China Petrochemical Company and produced by China Petroleum Company.

The torch of Beijing Winter Olympics "Yang Fei Icon" is made of high-temperature resistant "carbon fiber", which can resist fire and high temperature and can be used in extremely cold weather. This is the first time in the world. The shape of "Yang Fei" is a multi-curved space body. In order to reflect the beauty of its curve, a three-station weaving process is adopted, and then it is polished, painted and carved, and then painted and colored by robots. Finally, stick the emblem of the Winter Olympics by hand.

"Yang Fei" adheres to the concept of green and sustainable fuel selection and uses hydrogen as fuel. The hydrogen fuel icon can ensure that the torch can be used in extremely cold weather, and it can also resist 10 gale. When burning, the product is only water, without carbon dioxide, which is the cleanest fuel with zero emissions, but the hydrogen flame is invisible in the sun. In order to meet the needs of vision and photography, they developed an adjustable hydrogen flame.

From February 2 to 4, 2022, Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou will hold traditional torch relay activities, with about 1200 torchbearers participating in the relay. At the same time, the torch relay also includes flame display and network transmission. The relay route takes ice and snow culture, history culture and Great Wall culture as the main line, presenting natural scenery, human characteristics and urban features along the way.
