Chapter 504: Shaking the Energy Landscape (2/2)

It is hard to imagine that one day, as the three major oil and gas giants with a monopoly in China, will chase after cooperating with a private enterprise.

The intention of Jia Gu Group is clear, as they provide excellent jatropha varieties and cultivation and management techniques, while the oil companies provide refining technology and sales channels, and the two parties jointly build energy forests and supporting refineries in Jin Province.

If it is only a million-acre energy forest project, it will not allow the three major oil and gas giants to compete for it. But we need to take a long-term view -- once the first phase of Jiagu's energy forest project achieves the expected success, will it still be only a million mu of scale? If nothing else, the whole province will vigorously promote the expansion of energy forests.

And, if the expected success is achieved, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money. Green energy, cost advantage...... Famous and beneficial, who cares for a little bit of face?

What's more, the three vice presidents of oil companies all know that if Jiagu opens up the scope of cooperation objects, even international energy giants will be like sharks and bloodthirsty to seize the opportunity to cooperate with Jiagu.

After another round of negotiation with Jiagu, Vice President Lin of CNOOC and Vice President Li of Sinopec met unexpectedly outside.

Competition is competition, and everyone is still friends. The two tacitly avoided the details of the negotiation and talked about Wang Yuye's choice back then.

"I also persuaded Lao Wang not to resign on impulse. I really didn't expect that not only did he forge a completely different path, but one day his career would intersect with us. Sinopec's Vice President Li lit a cigarette and said with emotion.

"Yes, energy can not only be 'grown', but also commercialized, and the future may create an era of its own, even now, I think it's a bit unbelievable. Vice President Lin of CNOOC shook his head and said.

It is obviously unrealistic to replace fossil fuels with bioenergy, but bioenergy can undoubtedly become part of the energy mix.

However, for a long time, human research results in new energy sources, including bioenergy, are still limited. The coexistence of the three major elements of economy, stability and cleanliness in the human energy market is still an impossible triangle, even in developed countries.

But now it seems that Jiagu Group is expected to break this "impossible triangle"?

"Actually, if Jiagu makes the final breakthrough, I won't be surprised. Sinopec's Lao Li took a puff of cigarette, and his tone was a little convincing.

"If it weren't for this investigation, I wouldn't have noticed that Jiagu is already the leading new energy producer in China!"

"Do you know? There is evidence that Jiagu has made major breakthroughs in biomass pretreatment technology and cellulase technology, I asked Lao Wang, and he did not deny it. What does this mean? It means that the prospects for bioenergy development in Jiagu are infinite......"

At present, the use of lignocellulosic raw materials (typically straw) to produce bioenergy such as cellulosic ethanol is technically no problem, mainly cost.

With the existing technology, a lot of energy will be consumed in the process of raw material pretreatment, fermentation, etc., and the net energy output is not high or even negative, so it is difficult to make a profit.

Jiagu's super white rot bacteria, super cellulolytic bacteria and other key strains of straw decomposition and fermentation have not been announced, but combined with Jiagu's initial effective agricultural and animal husbandry waste gasification system, it is not difficult for people in the industry to come to the conclusion that Jiagu must have a "sharp weapon"!

CNOOC's Lao Lin really didn't know much about this, and when he listened, his expression was a little dazed, and he subconsciously asked: "You say, what is Jiagu's energy strategic positioning?"

Lao Li of Sinopec took another puff of cigarette and thought about it: "Fight a way in the field of new energy and become an emerging giant in the industry." ”

This is actually exactly what Lao Lin thought. He sighed and said, "We have also made a lot of efforts in the field of new energy, why are there no bright spots?"

Sinopec's Lao Li smiled bitterly: "Probably because oil and gas resources have always been our foundation." Our development of new energy is definitely different from that of Jiagu......"

Lao Lin laughed and said, "You want to say that we can't compare to Jiagu." ”

That's actually what he thinks.

Sinopec's Lao Li smiled and asked instead of answering: "You say, will Jiagu's new energy business one day shake the existing energy pattern?"

Lao Lin of CNOOC subconsciously continued: "Ha, how can it be ......?"

"Is it really impossible?" Lao Li interrupted his rebuttal.

Lao Lin was also silent immediately.

The judgment of the market prospect of new energy determines the development strategy route of major oil giants.

It is very interesting that with the vast Atlantic Ocean as the boundary, the oil giants are divided into two camps in terms of new energy investment: the European Union and the United States.

While Europe's three major oil giants, BP, Total and Shell, are increasing their investment in low-carbon technologies, American oil companies, led by ExxonMobil and Chevron, are far from their European counterparts in terms of investment in new energy and low-carbon technologies.

- Americans prefer to make a breakthrough in the shale oil and gas industry. Of course, they eventually did, and even achieved energy independence.

In the East, oil and gas giants such as Sinopec, PetroChina, and CNOOC, no matter what they think in their hearts, their attitudes towards new energy are and must be positive.

-- As the three major oil companies shouldering the important task of ensuring national energy security, they should also follow the national energy strategy. You can't put all your eggs in one basket, wind energy, photovoltaic energy, biomass energy, and nuclear energy are developing simultaneously, which is good for both a country and the world.

Jiagu is also catching up with a good time.

In February this year, CNOOC's world's largest offshore wind power project passed the review and stepped up its pace of entering the new energy field; Sinopec joined the competition for electric vehicle charging stations with its vast terminal network; and PetroChina put forward its first new energy development plan, and listed biomass energy and coalbed methane as the focus of development......

But most of these are long-range visions, and with the exception of wind and solar, most of the new energy technologies are in the race to be developed, and no company or technology has achieved a clear superior advantage.

In terms of bioenergy, can Najiagu now achieve even a partial transcendence advantage?

This question made both of them fall into deep thought for a while.

After all, the answer to this question also determines the investment intensity of the two companies in Jiagu's "energy forest project".

What the two didn't know was that when PetroChina's vice president Qian reported the progress of the negotiations to the head office, he said sonorously: "We must reach a cooperation with Jiagu, because this will allow us to enter a new era of energy planting!"
