Walking into Linfen City, Shanxi Province, a piece of green energy forest, a verdant tree in front of you. In the early years, the barren land with fragile ecology caused by large-scale coal mining activities is now full of barren mountains and greenery, and the forest belt is full of vitality.

The million-acre energy forest base project jointly built by Jiagu and PetroChina has not only completed the goal, but also completed beyond expectations.

Until the establishment of Jiagu Environmental Protection, Jiagu's expansion focus seemed to fall on the field of environmental protection, the Jin Provincial Government could no longer bear it, and took advantage of the perfect completion of the energy forest project to send an invitation to Qi Zheng.

Jiagu Environmental Protection's stall was handed over to Ji Qian, but Qi Zheng himself was relieved, and he had no choice but to invite Jin Province - well, this is definitely not because Ji Qian's sycophants are good.

After arriving in Linfen City, accompanied by Ma Dingwen, the head of the Jiagu Forestry Business Group, he took the lead in inspecting the first project put into operation after the establishment of the forestry business group.

“...... The Jin Provincial Government, the Ministry of Forestry, and the Ministry of Energy all can't wait to find us to understand the situation of energy forests, and they all want relevant reports. I replied to them that there was no report, only basic information, either they wrote it themselves, or they asked PetroChina for it, and they had more than one report on hand...... "Ma Dingwen unceremoniously complained about the additional work given to him by the relevant departments after introducing the latest situation of the energy forest base.

Hearing this, Qi Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

It should be said that the time for the energy forest base project in Linfen City to be put into operation exceeded everyone's expectations, especially the partner PetroChina.

The design scale of the Jatropha energy forest project in Sichuan Province is not inferior to that of Jiagu's project in Jin Province, but in six or seven years, the total area of the forest has not exceeded 200,000 mu, let alone put into production.

There are bureaucratic reasons, policy reasons, and state-owned enterprise reasons.

State-owned enterprises are inefficient and tend to be mainstayed. If a policy is not implemented, it may be just a phone call. There is no formal document urging, no departmental follow-up implementation, and no one is even in a hurry. The riskier the project, the more so.

Three or five months and half a year have passed, and once there is a transfer within a state-owned enterprise, the delay will be even longer......

In order to put into production as soon as possible, the Strategy Department has already done countless analyses and repeatedly confirmed the factors that affect the progress of the project. Then, the forestry business group was eager to mobilize all the energy of the group, not only urging and sending personnel to PetroChina to discuss every day, but also using government relations to speed up the "land enclosure...... If it weren't for the need to improve the soil in many of the abandoned mining areas and the need to replenish the breeding of super jatropha, they might have shortened the production period.

PetroChina is not unfamiliar with this analytical, mobilizing and action-oriented model – state-owned enterprises also like to adopt this model in large-scale political or strategic projects.

However, an energy forest project with uncertain prospects and unknown risks, Jiagu can also have such high efficiency, which almost scared PetroChina into not daring to make additional investment.

Therefore, in the process of the energy forest project, PetroChina sent people to inspect every once in a while, and the report was made again and again, which could not be easier to meet the requirements of relevant departments.

"And then, what is the conclusion of the government?" Qi Zheng asked dryly.

"Well, I do hear some rumors. ”

"Rumors?"

Ma Dingwen asked rhetorically without answering: "Have you heard of the Swedes' 'Energy Forest Plan'?"

Qi Zheng shook his head honestly.

"When I was studying in Germany, one of the most romantic European forestry cases I studied was the Swedish Energy Forest Project. In the 80s, Sweden began to develop energy forests as a national policy, replacing oil, coal and natural gas with woodfuel with short rotation periods for power generation and ......heating," Ma recalls.

What is striking about this plan is that it is "contrary to our concept" of shutting down modern nuclear and hydroelectric power plants and returning to the traditional "logging for wages".

Of course, to this day, Sweden's energy forest plan cannot be said to have fully met the goals of the Swedes, but as the first energy forest plan to be developed into an industrial scale, it still gives a lot of inspiration to experts from all over the world.

Qi Zheng immediately understood: "You mean ......"

Ma Dingwen affirmed: "Well, Sweden has dared to implement their energy forest project because of the innate advantages of the 'forest kingdom', and Jin Province has also proposed a similar plan because of the natural 'coal to oil' characteristics of the super jatropha tree." ”

Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "You tell me in detail." ”

Ma Dingwen cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Jin Province and several major national ministries and commissions are very interested in completing the afforestation of 20 million mu of jatropha energy forest in five years, increasing the forest coverage rate of Jin Province to 26%, exceeding the national average......

Qi Zheng's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that Jin Province still has such determination. ”

"Who says it's not?" Ma Dingwen said with emotion.

While sighing, Ma Dingwen also made no secret of his excitement.

One thing is for sure, no matter how the government plans it, Jiagu will be indispensable in implementing the roadmap.

How could he have imagined that he could participate in, or lead a strategic project at the provincial or even national level?

Until now, he can't believe what kind of rich assets he has inherited - the new yew variety alone has made the forestry business group infinitely useful, and the super jatropha tree has made him see the hope of leveraging the domestic new energy map with forestry.

In the final analysis, people have the help of God, and it is Jiagu who has made achievements that cannot be ignored, so that they have been supported by the top and bottom of Jin Province and the national ministries and commissions, and they support the good conditions created by Jiagu.

- Without Jiagu's agronomic cultivation research, biotechnology improvement and commercial research, there would be no industrial chain of jatropha energy forest.

To put it simply: jatropha requires a lot of labor to grow and harvest its fruits.

Intensive labor demand can be an advantage, which means being able to create more jobs.

But the essence of an economic energy system is to produce as much energy as possible with as few people as possible. To put it simply, there must be a balance between labor intensity and increasing income by increasing the labor force. Like palm oil, it is also harvested by hand, but the amount of oil (energy) harvested per working hour is much more, and it will still create a lot of jobs, which is a good balance.

The biggest constraint to the development of the biodiesel industry chain of jatropha in various countries is the problem of raw materials, and all want to increase its production so that it can be more economically viable to grow. However, Jiagu's research is like a high mountain, and he spits out four words to the people who are looking up at the bottom of the mountain - you are still early!

The jatropha energy forest base that has been put into operation proves that after the large-scale production of raw materials is realized, the yield of jatropha per mu after 4 years of planting will reach 600 kg of seeds, and the oil content of seed kernels can generally reach 80%...... Comprehensive calculation, the cost per ton of biodiesel can be reduced to about 3,000 yuan, compared with the cost of diesel produced from other raw materials is more than 4,000 yuan.

When an emerging industry does not need the intervention of relevant taxes and subsidies from the government to achieve self-profit, it shows that the development and growth of this industry is unstoppable.

PetroChina saw this, and so did the Jin province and national ministries.

Qi Zhengmo rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then chuckled: "It's okay, energy and environment are an overall issue, with the promotion of the national government, we can still worry less......

Ma Dingwen looked at Qi Zheng with admiration, just looking at his expression and relaxed tone, he knew that Qi Zheng was really relaxed.

Is this the gap between the two? Maybe in my own eyes, a big project, in the eyes of the big boss, may be just a small thing?

Ma Dingwen didn't dare to ask, for fear that his little heart would be impacted by the boss's domineering.

However, now is the need for the big guy town.

"The problem now is that there are too many predators interested in the energy forest plan in Jin Province, and we are the only public relations point when the government does not implement a clear tendency......" Ma Dingwen, who is not very sociable, smiled bitterly.

To do jatropha bioenergy, no less than an oil field investment, is destined to be dominated by state-owned enterprises. Especially in Shanxi Province, the coal pillar industry has entered a trough, and the coal predators who want to diversify are coveted, and the petrochemical giants are ready to move...... Ma Dingwen felt more pressure.

The voice did not fall......

"Hey, Dong Qi, Manager Ma, you are also here, what a coincidence!" Before anyone arrived, the courteous laughter arrived first.

Ma Dingwen turned around, saw someone coming, and couldn't help but hold his forehead.

This is Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
