Chapter 536: A New Algae Industry Pillar (1/2)

Outside the sea area of northern Jiangsu, Jiagu's special moss breeding base.

After getting permission from Qi Zheng, Takahashi Hiroyu not only transferred more than a dozen technicians from China, but even brought relevant test machines to ensure that the data obtained was accurate.

It is summer, the best growth period for special moss.

In less than half a month, Takahashi Boyu witnessed with his own eyes that in the breeding base, the special moss covered the sea area of 10,000 acres at a speed visible to the naked eye under the strong sunlight, which really made him see what it means to "give a little sunshine and be brilliant"!

In just two weeks, a stubble of moss was harvested, and Takahashi Hiroyu no longer had any doubts about the data of "100 tons per mu per year".

Then, Hiroyu Takahashi also visibly became excited.

In this world, there are countless seaweeds with "development potential". But Takahashi Hiroyu knows that if large-scale production cannot be formed and production costs can be reduced, then "potential" will always be "potential", and "prospects" cannot be turned into "money".

Obviously, this special moss cultivated by Jiagu has already possessed the key to practical use.

This point is even more clear at a glance in the Jiagu seaweed processing base opened by Qi Zheng.

Jiagu has a production capacity of 1 million tons of seaweed fertilizer and 300,000 tons of moss feed in Suzhou Province, and is the world's largest production base of specialized seaweed fertilizer and moss feed.

Qi Zheng introduced to him the "biomass energy" moss and the "feed" moss, while the most mature application of Jiagu is seaweed organic fertilizer, Takahashi Hiroyu understands this.

After all, the business is different, and the development focus is definitely different. Jiagu previously focused on agricultural production, but it was just emerging in the field of biomass energy and aquatic products, and it is naturally more mature in the application of seaweed organic fertilizer.

Although Nissui Trading had no involvement in the fertilizer business, Takahashi took a technician on a tour of all the areas he could visit – and he had to fully assess the value of this special moss.

"The organic fertilizer produced by Jiagu using 'forage' moss not only contains potassium, magnesium, manganese, titanium, iron, copper, iodine and other trace elements, but also contains rich algae polysaccharides, seaweed polyphenols, unsaturated fatty acids, growth regulators and other active elements. We have compared it with similar products in the world, and Jiagu's products are the best in all aspects......" the technician reported to Hirohiro Takahashi.

Takahashi Hiroyu was thoughtful and raised the information in his hand: "So, the data provided by Jiagu is likely to be true?"

β€”β€”The data shows that according to the application observation of Jiagu in many places, the application of Jiagu seaweed fertilizer on citrus, grapes, apples and other fruit cash crops can generally increase the yield by 15%-20%, save 200-300 yuan per mu, and the production-investment ratio can reach 5.5:1; and in the application of rice, corn, soybean, wheat and greenhouse vegetables, the fertilizer efficiency is also very considerable, and the average yield per mu can be increased by 10%-30%......

The technician of Nisui's cautious said: "It should be true." We also inspected the production line of Jiagu, and although the key workshop is not open, it can be seen that the production of seaweed fertilizer in Jiagu is extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis. This is the best biological method for extracting the active substances of seaweed, which can maximize the activity of endogenous substances. Due to the high price of biological enzymes and the complexity of the enzymatic hydrolysis process, it is at the first-class level even in the world. ”

He didn't say it, but what everyone present understood was that this also showed that Jiagu's development system for special moss was indeed relatively mature.

Takahashi's eyes flashed. If the data is true, then the high efficiency of Jiagu seaweed fertilizer is also impressed even if it is not involved in agricultural production business.

It is important to know that the scientific research and market application of seaweed fertilizer originated in Europe. After entering the 21st century, seaweed fertilizer, as a natural fertilizer, has received unprecedented attention and development in developed countries in Europe and the United States. At present, the top enterprises in the international Shanghai algae fertilizer ranking are mainly European and American countries, and the island countries are relatively backward in this field.

Thinking like this, Takahashi Hiroyu turned to another technician and asked, "What does the company's research institute say?"

The technician immediately replied: "Studying the samples we sent back, we found that the energy variety Turbulence moss does contain a large amount of fiber and glucose, which can be degraded to produce fatty acids, phenols, esters, ketones and other compounds, which are important components of 'bio-oil'." ”

"After measurement, the calorific value of the 'bio-oil' can reach 33MJkg, which is higher than that of general alcohol, which can not only be directly burned as a low-grade fuel, but also can be further refined to obtain different grades of biomass liquid fuel or polyester, plastic and other chemical products, which has a high industrialization promotion value. At the same time, the by-products produced by it also have high utilization value......"

Takahashi took a deep breath.

The island countries have a small land area, but the area of exclusive economic waters ranks sixth in the world, so they hope to develop "granaries" and "oil silos" with the sea as production bases.

All the current data proves that this special moss cultivated by Jiagu is very easy to absorb carbon dioxide and synthesize organic matter, which is an excellent biofuel, feed raw material, and organic fertilizer raw material.

Although Nisui's main focus is on aquatic products, it is not impossible to enter biomass energy with the help of seaweed farming - the best thing is that the island country has technical reserves for the use of seaweed to produce biomass energy, and the reason why it has not entered the commercialization stage is that it is stuck in the lack of low-cost raw material supply.

Takahashi Hiroyu's heart was excited, as if he had seen Rishui step into another glory. But the assistant's next words immediately pulled it back to reality.

The company's legal department has also confirmed that Jiagu fully owns the intellectual property rights of these two special mosses. In addition, the number of patents obtained by Jiagu Laboratory has exceeded 100 around the relevant development system, and a complete set of patent protection has been applied for regardless of the country. To a certain extent, it can be said that Jiagu has formed a certain patent barrier in the development of special moss!"

As if with a "poof", Takahashi Hiroyu's imagination was punctured - sure enough, Kaya came prepared.

However, after calming down, Takahashi Hiroyu carefully examined the information at hand.

First of all, this special moss must be of great benefit to the main business of the company. The most direct is to purify the environment of fishery waters and provide high-quality bait.

Secondly, even for an island country, this special moss is of extraordinary significance. Hiroyu Takahashi has reason to believe that this special moss in the hands of the island nation can develop economic benefits that are more than 100 times that of Jiagu.

Algae cultivation is also one of the most active fisheries industries in the world. According to statistics, a total of 50 countries and regions in the world are engaged in algae production, of which island countries are one of the main producers.

Someone once said, "It is rare in the world for a nation like an island nation that loves to eat seaweed and even develops it into an industry and creates great economic value." ”

However, there is a bad phenomenon that due to global warming in recent years, the ocean current temperature has risen, and the sea temperature in the area near Hokkaido has risen, and the kelp cannot adapt to such a high water temperature, and the yield is seriously reduced, and there are even predictions that it will completely disappear from the sea area of the island country by the middle of this century.

Once kelp disappears in the waters of the island country, the island country's algae industry will undoubtedly suffer a heavy blow, and related fields such as medicine and health care and seaweed chemical industry will be deeply affected.

In comparison, this kind of special moss with unlimited potential is like a fish in water in the era of global warming.

Hirohiro Takahashi even has an idea that this special moss may be one of the new pillars of the global algae industry!
