Chapter 759: The Turning Point of Methanol Gasoline
Jin Xiaoqiang took out real money, high-end CNC machine tools, which has been in short supply in China, and it is also the most headache for the processing of domestic military aircraft.
They brought this to you, and they also brought no less than 100 skilled top assembly workers, and another point is that they also promised the military that there are any metal materials that are not good, and they can do it for you.
This is a show of sincerity, so the military side is not too difficult for him, and has asked Jin Xiaoqiang to use the military's supercomputer, and after urgent consultations, the military gave an answer.
If you want to use the military's supercomputer, this is unlikely, after all, this is a top-secret thing involving the state, but they can help contact several scientific institutions in the country and ask them to help provide some supercomputer ports for Jin Xiaoqiang to use.
Jin Xiaoqiang is of course very satisfied with this answer, after all, the military's computer involves too many military secrets, and he is reluctant to use it, because if something goes wrong, it is not something he can afford.
After getting the results he wanted, Jin Xiaoqiang handed over these people and equipment to this joint research institute established with the military, and returned to the company himself.
Because there was also news from the company, saying that there was someone waiting for him on the company's side, Jin Xiaoqiang went back to the company to take a look, it turned out to be Liu Yonghao, and there was another middle-aged man.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't expect Liu Yonghao to come from the capital to see him, and hurriedly went over to greet him.
"This is Director Wan of our National Development and Reform Commission, Reform Department."
Liu Yonghao introduced Jin Xiaoqiang like this, Jin Xiaoqiang hurriedly shook hands with Director Wan, the Reform Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, this is a great place.
"Xiaoqiang, we came to you this time because of the methanol gasoline you mentioned before......
After a few people finished greeting each other and sat down, Liu Yonghao said to Jin Xiaoqiang straight to the point, when he was in the capital before. When Jin Xiaoqiang explained new energy vehicles to him, he once explained to him in detail the so-called several new energy sources.
But because of our Tianchao petroleum and petrochemical system at that time, we were vigorously promoting ethanol gasoline in China, if we were to go to the methanol gasoline project at that time. The assistant may be very large, so Liu Yonghao also mentioned this idea to the above at that time, and did not recruit people to discuss the promotion of the issue with great fanfare.
And this year, the ethanol gasoline really caused a big mistake, and now it has also caused a very big controversy within the Celestial Empire Petroleum and Petrochemical, and many people have proposed to immediately stop the ethanol gasoline project under construction in Dongshan Province and the three eastern provinces.
The reason why there is such a proposal is actually very simple, because after the explosive growth of the domestic automobile market in recent years. The contradiction between energy shortage and the application of new energy has brought considerable pressure to domestic economic growth.
In the past, Tianchao Petroleum and Petrochemical wanted to take a safe route, because the current international technology promotion of ethanol gasoline seems to be relatively mature, and in Brazil, Thailand and other countries, ethanol gasoline is used very well.
Although the United States and Japan, after using it for a while, stopped. However, this does not prevent the leaders of our domestic energy sector from favoring ethanol and gasoline.
So in the past few years, a lot of ethanol gasoline has been launched in several major agricultural provinces in China. For example, Dongshan Province, which is rich in corn, and the three eastern provinces are the key areas for domestic energy giants.
If we follow the original history, the country's economic development led to a sharp increase in automobile consumption, which then led to an energy crisis, and finally passed on to the inflation of Chiguoguo, will occur at the end of 2007.
However, because of the emergence of Huayang Power, the domestic automobile consumption frenzy was detonated in advance, and with the increase of automobiles, the problem of energy supply shortage and the contradiction between new energy also broke out in advance. …,
Ethanol gasoline advocated by petroleum and petrochemical leaders. Ethanol gasoline is basically made by using corn as a raw material to refine ethanol and then mixing it with gasoline in a certain proportion.
In China, the main source of meat for the people is pork, and the main ingredient of the feed for pigs is corn.
In recent years, because of the establishment of a large number of ethanol refining plants, and the price at which they buy corn is higher than the original price of corn, local farmers are of course willing to sell corn to them.
The soaring price of corn has led to the fact that many companies that used to produce pig feed cannot buy enough raw materials. This further led to a spike in the price of pig feed.
The price of pig feed has soared, but the price of pork in the market has been tepid, which has led to many pig farmers being reluctant to raise pigs, which will further lead to an increase in pork prices.
The price of pork in China's CPI index occupies a considerable weight.
Since the second half of last year, because of the lack of supply in the pork market, the market price of pork has soared, and by the end of the year, the price of pork has soared to nearly 20 yuan per catty, which has also pulled up the CPI data.
The complaints of ordinary people because they can't afford to eat pork have affected the formulation of the government's economic development plan for the beginning of the year, which has led to the leaders of the petroleum and petrochemical sectors to change their minds and ponder the idea of developing another new energy fuel.
After listening to Liu Yonghao and Director Wan's explanation of the new energy fuel change, Jin Xiaoqiang also felt a little crying and laughing.
It turned out that the pork crisis broke out at the end of 2007 in the original history, and now this crisis actually appeared in advance because of the Huayang Power he founded, which really surprised him.
"The ethanol refining centers previously established in the three eastern provinces and Dongshan provinces may lower their production targets this year, and some ethanol refining centers under construction have also been suspended. You mentioned the idea of methanol fuel to me before, and now some of the leaders of the oil companies are interested in the proposal......"
Liu Yonghao hinted to Jin Xiaoqiang, in fact, those who are engaged in oil, they should know more about methanol gasoline than Jin Xiaoqiang, and the benefits of methanol gasoline are not comparable to ethanol gasoline.
Director Wan also nodded, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Little Kim! We are also under a lot of pressure, and as you know, methanol gasoline has certain advantages compared with ethanol gasoline, but there is a certain degree of difficulty. ”
Director Wan played Tai Chi with Jin Xiaoqiang steadily, and Jin Xiaoqiang certainly knew what they were worried about.
One of the main reasons why methanol gasoline is more difficult to promote than ethanol gasoline is that methanol gasoline is relatively corrosive.
General car users, when using methanol gasoline, will inevitably have some psychological barriers, after all, no one wants their car to be corroded, because no one knows whether the methanol gasoline will burn out the engine.
In case the engine is really broken, the price of replacing the assembly is not cheap.
It seems that the above has sent this Director Wan down to investigate, this is a good opportunity, as long as he is convinced, then the next thing will be easy to do.
"Well, Director Wan, this is indeed a problem, methanol gasoline does have certain disadvantages, but his advantages can not be ignored. As we all know, as early as World War II, the Germans invented methanol gasoline, and he was the first to use it as fuel for airplanes and rockets, and the performance of this mixed fuel is still very good. But then it was precisely because of the corrosive nature of methanol gasoline that this new fuel was not widely promoted, but today this is no longer a problem. The car parts that methanol gasoline was able to corrode earlier were actually the oil pipelines of the automobile engine, as well as some gaskets of the engine, because those were rubber preparations. Methanol comes into contact with rubber, and if it takes too long, it will cause the rubber tube to age, and then leak, and after the methanol leaks out, it will corrode the rubber pads in other parts of the engine, resulting in damage to the powertrain of the car, but now this problem no longer exists. ”…,
Jin Xiaoqiang immediately began to explain to Director Wan from the perspective of an automotive professional.
"The oil pipelines of many automobiles are generally made of metal pipes or other special materials, which are different from the simple rubber pipes of the past, so there is no need to worry too much about corrosion resistance. And the engine is not to worry, in fact, the regular use of methanol gasoline is also good for the car engine, after all, methanol will dissolve a lot of organic matter left when using gasoline as fuel, and has a natural role in cleaning the oil circuit and cleaning the throttle carbon deposit. And at best, there is a certain loss of the car's pumping pump, but what is the cost of methanol gasoline? After one year of use, the fuel cost that can be saved is estimated to be enough for the average person to replace several oil pumps? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation is very easy to understand, which makes Director Wan on the other side feel very satisfied, in fact, of course he knows the benefits of methanol gasoline, but he is afraid of the problem of market acceptance.
Now Jin Xiaoqiang is advocating this methanol gasoline with such fanfare, as long as they Huayang Power appropriately launches a few products suitable for methanol gasoline and sets an example for the market, then there will be no worries that methanol gasoline will not be sold.
"In fact, we at Huayang Power have also been paying attention to methanol gasoline, a new energy source, and in the United States and Japan, they have many vehicles using methanol gasoline. And I think this is also the direction of our future development, so we have already developed a number of models suitable for methanol gasoline, and are thinking about when they plan to launch it on the market. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang is really good at hurrying the time, as soon as he said this, Director Wan's eyes lit up.
"Oh? That's a good feeling, let's go and see ......" (to be continued)
