In the end, PetroChina took the lead!

Before Sinopec and CNOOC, PetroChina invested more efforts to strive for it and took the lead in winning the favor of Jiagu.

In terms of financial strength, the three oil and gas giants can be described as "not bad for money" when investing in new energy. For promising projects, they will soon be able to invest heavily in development or direct mergers and acquisitions.

The question is how optimistic you are about the project.

Behemoths like the three major oil and gas giants are also divided internally. To a certain extent, the development of new energy is a kind of political correctness, but the development of new energy depends on which "mountain" has a louder voice.

Sinopec is more optimistic about the electric vehicle charging station project because of its huge terminal network, and CNOOC Limited has innate conditions for the development of offshore wind power, and its many offshore drilling platforms give it an incomparable first-mover advantage in the development and maintenance of offshore wind power.

PetroChina, because it occupies a large amount of land resources, is difficult for other companies to compete with it in the development of biomass energy.

It can be said that if it were not for the mastery of key resources, Jiagu would feel great pressure in the face of the strong financial strength, abundant government resources and many innate advantages of the traditional oil and gas giants, but since Jiagu took the initiative, the stronger the partner, the more Jiagu would be happy.

After the last round of negotiations, Wang Yuye and Vice President Qian, who was in charge of negotiations with PetroChina, said with a smile: "Old Qian, I didn't expect you to come from behind and defeat Lao Li and Lao Lin." ”

Wang Yuye was the first to seek cooperation, of course, CNOOC, which has the most extensive connections, and finally PetroChina, which already has a large-scale jatropha planting base, but he never expected that PetroChina was the most interested in cooperation.

Vice President Qian glanced at Wang Yuye, pouted and said, "No way, who told me to be optimistic about Jiagu's strength in bioenergy?"

Vice President Qian is always a staunch "new energy faction" within PetroChina, more specifically, a "biomass energy faction".

And at his level, if you want to be promoted, you have to show extremely bright results to have hope.

Originally, he didn't have many options. After all, in the era when new energy, especially biomass energy, is still in the era of "land reclamation", there are not many opportunities to make achievements, and there are many pitfalls. He also has no wishful thinking about coming up with brilliant results.

However, when Jiagu made a breakthrough in the commanding heights of the jatropha industry, Vice President Qian couldn't calm down.

This opportunity is great!

The reason why he has always been optimistic about biomass energy is that through different technologies, biomass energy can be converted into different energy sources, which can produce solid fuels, gaseous fuels, liquid fuels, and can also generate electricity. It is this characteristic that makes it more promising than other renewable energy sources.

In the past, bioenergy could not reach the scale of solar and wind energy, the main reason is that the dispersion of agricultural production in our country has led to the dispersion of biomass energy resources such as straw and one household.

PetroChina's bioenergy development strategy is no problem - using barren mountains, deserts and other land to cultivate energy forests on a large scale, or to carry out intensive energy agricultural production, can solve the problem of raw material supply for biomass energy.

But the most important thing in this strategy is to have good energy plant varieties.

Vice President Qian impressed the company's senior management with just one word: "Jiagu has cultivated excellent energy plant varieties, which not only increases the yield per unit area, but also has excellent stress resistance, so that biodiesel can truly reach the level of industrial-scale production." Note that this level of production does not need to be based on state subsidies, it can really generate profits, what are you still hesitating about?"

Then, PetroChina decided to take the opportunity to cooperate with Jiagu.

Vice President Qian made no secret of his own and PetroChina's optimism about Jiagu's jatropha energy forest project, and faintly revealed the message of deepening the cooperative relationship, which made Wang Yuye secretly happy.

To be honest, Jiagu has cooperated with traditional oil and gas giants in the Jatropha energy forest project, which is not without the consideration of forming a community of interests.

- Funny to say, Jiagu's biggest competitor in the field of bioenergy is not traditional energy companies, but other international grain companies.

Unlike Jiagu, other international grain traders are developing bioenergy on a large scale at the cost of disrupting the global food supply and demand equilibrium.

All along, developed countries, led by the United States and Europe, have been demanding that developing countries open their markets for agricultural products, while developing countries have demanded that developed countries reduce or eliminate agricultural subsidies. In this pattern of global trade in agricultural products, agricultural exporters, led by the United States and Europe, are often in a passive situation because the supply of agricultural products often exceeds demand.

However, the development of bioenergy can completely change the above-mentioned passive situation, that is, to a certain extent, an important purpose of the development of bioenergy in agricultural exporters such as the United States is to create a pattern of food "shortage".

Based on this purpose, developed countries like the United States do not hesitate to subsidize the bioenergy industry heavily - Jiagu obviously does not have such a "good life", after all, China is still a developing country, with a large spread and limited investment subsidies.

But what is the strategy to win the competition?

Not by subsidy, but as the great man said, to make your own lineup big and the opponent's lineup small.

There are so many "oil" rich plants on the earth that are spicy, isn't it fragrant if they don't compete with food?

And when planting energy plants such as jatropha has become popular, is it still competitive to "burn" food?

Of course, the original intention may be different, but it does not prevent Jiagu and PetroChina from cooperating.

At the end of 2010, Jiagu Group, PetroChina and the Shanxi Provincial Government signed an investment agreement on the project of one million acres of jatropha energy forest base and supporting biodiesel refinery, and the project landed in Linfen City.

Subsequently, the three parties jointly started the public relations of the project approval.

-- Affected by the "mess" left by the jatropha investment boom a few years ago, the state is more cautious in approving the large-scale construction of jatropha energy forest bases.

In particular, this is a new variety and a new region!

In this regard, Song Wanyu, a senior official of the Linfen Municipal Party Committee, swore to Qi Zheng, who came to attend the signing ceremony: "Dong Qi, you don't have to worry, I believe that the project approval will come down soon." ”

"After all, addressing some of China's energy needs by growing energy brings us not only environmental protection, but also many benefits, such as increased income from agriculture and forestry. At the same time, there will be many potential benefits for China in terms of politics and diplomacy as a whole. This is something that deserves to be promoted. ”
