Chapter 443: New Energy Giant!
Governor Davis laughed, "Mr. Marsch, Mr. Jeffrey Skiling is a businessman, and you are too difficult for him to tell him about technical things." Ordinary consumers don't understand this, and I think California should also do a good job of publicizing the environmental protection and safety of fuel cell power stations, so that everyone can understand more about this aspect of the situation, so as not to cause any misunderstanding. ”
Jeffrey Skilling snorted coldly.
"Thank you Governor Davis for your support!"
Yang Jie said with a smile: "This time, we also invited a lot of media to come over to visit and report, and we also hope to let more people in the United States understand the product skills of Prager Energy's fuel cells." ”
Jeffrey Skiling, on the side, saw that CNN, Time Magazine, Fortune Magazine and other media magazines were also coming in to report, but his heart felt like he was forced to swallow a fly.
The young man in front of him has a very good relationship with Time Warner, but in terms of public opinion and publicity, it is no worse than Enron Group Company, and it is difficult for him to find the media to wantonly slander the technology of fuel cell products.
After visiting the fuel cell power plant, Prager Energy also held a small press conference.
"In addition to the fuel cell power station on Larkin Street, we are building three other 10-megawatt fuel cell power stations, which are expected to be completed within a month, and will provide a stable power supply to the city of San Francisco by then......"
Jeffrey Schilling saw Yang Jie talking quietly to Davis on the side, he couldn't help but snort coldly, turned to leave, and hurriedly followed with his secretary and bodyguards.
When he got into an extended limousine, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "It's me, starting from now on, and ending the supply of natural gas to the Pioneer Energy Group......"
In Vietnam, Yang Jie, accompanied by Andy Masch and Barbe Czerny, was visiting a coal-to-hydrogen plant of Air Products in Wilmington, San Francisco, and was accompanied by the company's president, Sefi Gesmin.
The man in his fifties had a fat head and big ears, and his forehead was slightly bowed, and he was a little complacent to Yang Jie and others to admit the company's advanced nature in coal-to-hydrogen technology.
The plant, which is also Air America's first coal-to-hydrogen plant, supplies high-purity hydrogen to refineries along the Gulf coast through a pipeline network, with a capacity of 300 tons of hydrogen per day.
"Mr. Gesmin, your company's coal-to-hydrogen plant can only supply 2,000 tons of hydrogen per month is far from meeting the needs of our company, our company intends to fully complete the household fuel power system within three years, if you add more than 200,000 enterprises to use electricity, you need to consume at least 800,000 tons of hydrogen every month, this is only the situation of one state in California, if you add other states, at least tens of millions of tons or even hundreds of millions of tons of hydrogen will be consumed, we need a large number of low-cost hydrogen. ”
In the conference room, Yang Jie spoke.
"......" Sephie Gasmin opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak.
"Mr. Gesmin, I know that your company is the most advanced company in the world in the supply of a range of exotic air separation gases, process and specialty gases, performance materials, and equipment, and we are very much looking forward to working with you. ”
Yang Jie said: "Pioneer Energy Group is preparing to invest US$10 billion in five years to build and put into operation a plant with an annual output of 10 million tons of coal-to-hydrogen production, and your company can participate if you are interested." ”
"Mr. Yang, fuel cell products are very expensive now, do you conclude that you can promote fuel cell products?"
"Mr. Gesmin, our fuel cell product technology has been very mature, the cost has been reduced to 150 US dollars per kilowatt, and now it is being produced in large quantities, and it is expected to be reduced to about 120 US dollars by the beginning of next year, and the only thing that is limited now is the production capacity and price of hydrogen. ”
Andy Marsch said.
"......" Sefi Gesmin's eyes widened, he knew that the biggest difficulty in the commercialization of fuel cell products lies in the cost of fuel cell stacks, he never dreamed that Prager Energy Group could suddenly reduce the cost of fuel cells to such a low, almost one-tenth of the existing fuel cell products!
The employees of Air Products were also speechless in shock.
"Mr. Yang, how did you do that?"
"Hehe, this is our trade secret. Yang Jie said with a smile.
"Mr. Gesmin, we didn't think about how much money we were going to make on the fuel cell products themselves, our important profits were in the supply of fuel and technical services. ”
Yang Jie said: "To be honest, our company has completed and put into operation a coal-to-hydrogen project with an annual output of 100,000 tons in China, which is now the largest in the world, and the third phase of the project has started, with a production capacity of 800,000 tons." ”
"The cost of coal-to-hydrogen is the lowest at this stage, the cost of coal-to-hydrogen per cubic meter in our country is 7 cents, and the price of selling it to our company is 10 cents, the coal reserves in the United States are very large, and the mining cost is also very low, and the coal-to-hydrogen project is not only to produce hydrogen, but also to get close to 600 kilograms of semi-coke, tar, methane, carbon monoxide, unsaturated hydrocarbons above C2, carbon dioxide, oxygen, Nitrogen, in which tar can be processed for deep processing can obtain aviation kerosene and ordinary kerosene, your company is first-class in gas production and chemical industry, I don't think I need to elaborate on the grand industrial value of this, right?"
The semi-coke produced by the coal-to-hydrogen project can be used to produce calcium carbide, and the kerosene extracted from the tar can be used in many ways, and the important thing that ordinary consumers can access is that it is used for blowtorches, gas lamps and kerosene stoves, as well as as a hot bulb engine used as fuel on tractors and fishing boats.
In addition, kerosene is also used as a solvent in printing inks, paints, varnish solvents, asphalt dilution solvents, pesticides and pesticide solvents, etc., and can also be used to clean mechanical parts.
Anyway, investing in the construction of coal-to-hydrogen projects is a business that will not lose money, and Yang Jie does not trust the Sephie Gasmin in front of him to be tempted.
"Mr. Yang, Pioneer Energy Group is losing a lot of money right now, isn't it?" said Sefie Gesmin.
"These are all Enron and other three energy companies to speculate on electricity prices, so we are building fuel cell power stations as quickly as possible, and we also have more than 30 power stations in our company, including three nuclear power plants, and Pioneer Group is stepping up the cover and technology upgrades of these power stations to ensure the maximum power supply. ”
Pioneer Energy Group now operates two nuclear power plants, the Devil's Valley Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County, California, with two reactors, which is the power hub for the north-central region of California, with a capacity of 2,160 megawatts.
Another nuclear power plant in southern California, San Onofrey, with an installed capacity of 2,200 megawatts, is the largest source of electricity in Southern California, and although Unit 1 was decommissioned in 1992, Units 2 and 3 are still functioning.
Pioneer Energy Group's own power stations can only meet 20% of California's electricity needs, and there are many types of power stations, including hydroelectric power stations, gas power stations, fuel power stations, thermal power stations, diesel generator set power stations, etc.
Forty percent of the electricity is controlled by energy companies like Enron, who work together to manipulate electricity prices, resulting in a scarcity of at least 17,000 megawatts of electricity.
In fact, as long as the Pioneer Energy Group can meet 30 percent of the scarce electricity, these independent power generators' offensive and defensive alliances will collapse.
Solving California's power crisis alone is not Yang's goal, his goal is to quickly spread fuel cells and become the largest energy supplier in the United States.
"Mr. Gesmin, Pioneer Energy Group now serves nearly 30 million people, tens of millions of households and more than 200,000 businesses in California, and by the end of the year, we will be building fuel cell power plants and home fuel power supply systems that will supply at least 4 gigawatts of electricity, and the power crisis in California will be resolved. ”
Yang Jie said: "Now the domestic fuel cell production line in Huaxia is working overtime to produce fuel cell stacks, and 50 megawatts of fuel cell products can be produced within three months, and the pioneer energy group company will lose money for two months at most. ”
