It was related to the adjustment of Jiagu's development strategy, and Qi Zheng did not make a decision immediately.

He Shi Shiran returned to the headquarters of Jiagu before convening the company's senior management to discuss the "Luozi" strategy in the Northeast.

"The construction of a soybean production base" and "the opening of pig farms to the Northeast" were quickly adopted without much discussion.

The main point of debate is whether to develop the biomass energy industry, and if so, what posture should be taken to enter the biomass energy industry?

As the main promoter of the development of the biomass energy industry, Chen Jianzhang shoulders the responsibility of convincing everyone.

"The biomass energy industry uses crop straw, livestock and poultry manure, organic waste and other agricultural and forestry wastes and environmental pollutants as raw materials to make them harmless and recyclable, and deeply develops and recycles the solar energy and material resources stored by plants, which can be called a model of circular economy. ”

"Crop straw is the number one renewable resource on the planet. According to our preliminary statistics, there are about 600 million tons of crop straw that can be collected in the country, of which at least 40 are discarded and burned. ”

"The waste of straw resources is essentially the waste of agricultural inputs such as arable land, water resources, labor, fertilizers and pesticides. As a company aspiring to establish ecological agriculture standards, I don't think Jiagu can turn a blind eye. ”

After all, Wang Yuye came out of the energy industry, and as the head of the company, he completely ignored the bright prospects described by Chen Jianzhang, and pointed to the key point: "No matter how broad the industrial development space is, the high cost is the biggest obstacle in the process of biomass industrialization and commercialization." In the case that the technical bottleneck of the development of the biomass industry has not been fully broken, what competitive advantage do we have?"

Chen Jianzhang retorted, "How to cost-effectively convert biomass raw materials into more valuable bio-based materials and bioenergy such as bioethanol is a key technical problem to reduce costs. But fortunately, our laboratory has made new breakthroughs in the research of key core technologies such as raw material pretreatment and enzyme preparations, which can realize the efficient and high-value utilization of biomass resources. ”

Wang Yuye shook his head: "This is just a breakthrough in the basic research of the laboratory, what about the coupling of key technologies? What about the research and development of supporting equipment? Only a comprehensive breakthrough in engineering technology can effectively reduce costs." ”

"Otherwise, biomass new energy can only be used as a supplement to mainstream energy at present. Compared with traditional fossil fuels, the cost of R&D and utilization is high, and additional subsidies and tax incentives are undoubtedly needed to make a profit or survive. However, at present, the state lacks supporting policies such as R&D, finance, finance, and market. ”

At present, the market of straw gasification energy is mainly affected by electricity and natural gas.

The latter two are the main energy sources of choice for residents' lives, and due to their ease of use, residents have a high degree of dependence. Moreover, the two are special commodities, and their prices are highly controlled by the state, and they can enjoy the preferential treatment of the state in terms of financial subsidies.

Compared with conventional energy, the supporting policies for biogas power generation and biogas are obviously insufficient.

Of course, Chen Jianzhang knows that cost is a problem that has to be faced, but "only by entering the engineering application stage, can we break through the technical bottleneck and really reduce the cost through continuous improvement, isn't it?

Wang Yuye still shook his head, scientific research is piled up with money, and money is never enough.

Now Jiagu is also a big business, and money is needed in all aspects.

Pinning his hopes on the biomass energy industry, where no one knows when a breakthrough will be made, he is not in favor of it anyway.

Ding Xian of the Strategy Department is inclined to moderately develop the biomass energy industry, but he also has doubts.

"Whether the laboratory has confidence in technological breakthroughs is not to say, but one of the problems that plague straw utilization enterprises is the long-term stable supply of straw. ”

"Due to the scattered sources and low density of straw, its collection, storage and transportation are difficult and costly, and it is difficult to form a stable supply chain, which will inevitably lead to high operating costs. How can this be solved?"

The energy utilization of straw must be factory production, so the straw needs to be transported to the factory after harvesting.

However, straw is generally loose in texture, and no matter what kind of transportation means, it is not worth the loss. The most embarrassing thing is that the transportation cost will even be higher than the value of the straw itself.

However, Chen Jianzhang came prepared, and of course he would not be asked this question: "The straw treatment after harvest in developed countries in Europe and the United States is basically processed by mechanized baling. In our country, with the exception of some large state farms, for most rural areas, this method is unattainable. ”

However, we can refer to this idea to process the straw on the spot and solidify it into straw pellets that can be transported over long distances to solve the bottleneck problem of transportation. ”

"This requires that it is best to have small and convenient processing equipment, which integrates shredding, quenching and tempering, and curing and molding, which is convenient for farmers to operate and process. But as I understand it, such a device is sufficient. ”

"Finally, there is the operating model, where the company can lease equipment from farmers, or set up local factories and process them locally, of course, this is only a preliminary solution and needs to be further verified......

Qi Zheng held his cheek with one hand and looked at Chen Jianzhang with great interest.

It should be said that all of you here are elites, and they look at problems from a very comprehensive perspective.

Qi Zheng admits that their doubts are very reasonable.

Now, people's perception of the biomass energy industry is that "the future is bright", in another ten years, the biomass energy industry "the spring of development has come", and another ten years later, the biomass energy industry will still be an "emerging industry with unlimited potential".

In short, it is always on the road, and the future is far away.

Although the world's major countries have spared no expense and manpower to invest in the research and development of new energy, profit-seeking capital is also like a shark's bloodthirsty wind, striving to grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money.

However, most of the money-making opportunities of new energy rely on financial support and subsidies for the industry, and there is no one who can really build the industry.

In fact, if it weren't for the breakthrough in the laboratory, coupled with Qi Zheng's confidence in the application of the Spirit Array in microorganisms, he would not hesitate to reject Chen Jianzhang's suggestion.

The energy industry is about national fortunes, but also about human beings.

The maturity of an industry, especially the maturity of the new energy industry, in many cases, needs to be faced not even a technical problem.

But if even companies don't even see the possibility of technological breakthroughs, it would be hilarious to say anything about "generating electricity with love" - survival is always the first priority.

Now, Qi Zheng somewhat agrees with Chen Jianzhang's point of view - "We already have a leading edge, so it is worth investing in seeking a greater breakthrough." "For Qi Zheng, in addition to using money to pile up scientific research, it can also be piled up with spirit arrays.

Based on everyone's opinions, Qi Zheng finally made a decision, "Or pilot first." We are conducting preliminary operational trials in the Northeast or Hailun City area, combining a soybean production base and a pig breeding base to see the after-effects. ”

This is the safest decision, and even Wang Yuye, who is the least optimistic about the biomass energy industry, can accept it - this will not lose much.

As for Chen Jianzhang, in the face of Qi Zheng's commitment to increase research investment, he also happily accepted this decision.

After discussing this topic, Qi Zheng asked, "So, what do you think about the upcoming agricultural fair that Jiagu will participate in?"
