Chapter 367: New Uses of Gutter Oil
Even if these tea plantation owners are willing to pay a lot of money to dredge, but no one dares to accept a greedy government official, of course, this is also because Shakru is coming forward, no one dares to only collect money and do nothing, many people directly told Shakru that this money is too hot, and not only offending the Ministry of Railways, but also the responsibility of opening this opening is too great, and no one can afford it and is unwilling to bear it.

If these people's concerns can still be understood, then the words of some confused officials make him almost can't help but curse, because someone is actually saying: "You friends are too, why do you have to build a tea garden in a place with such bad traffic, just find a place with convenient transportation to plant tea trees." This kind of words similar to "why not eat minced meat" made Shakru very suspicious of how this kind of guy who only grows fat and no brains got into the government.
Fortunately, his efforts were not fruitless, he actually got a glimmer of hope from the Ministry of Oil, a real power figure in the Ministry of Oil, Pradan, after listening to Shakru said that he could come up with a huge amount of dredging money, and said for a long time: "Actually, it's not that there is no way to do this, but there are more joints that need to be opened." ”
Shakru said without hesitation: "As long as the matter can be done, this matter is now a matter of life and death for these tea plantation owners, so they are willing to pay any price." ”
Hearing Shakru say this, Pradhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then you can inform them and quickly submit an application for planting jatropha to our Ministry of Petroleum." ”
Shakru asked a little confused, "Jatropha?" What does this have to do with solving the railway? ”
"Of course it matters, it's just a little bit bigger. Do you know what is the top priority for our oil department right now? Pradan replied slowly.
Shakru shook his head and said, "How can I, a small businessman, know about such a big thing. ”
Pradhan explained: "The top priority for our oil ministry is to reduce our imports of crude oil and reduce our dependence on foreign crude oil, and now we in India are the fourth largest consumer of crude oil products in the world, after the United States, China and Japan." This consumption has also made us the world's fourth-largest oil importer, with a national demand of 4.1 million barrels per day this year alone, while domestic crude oil supply is only about 1 million barrels per day, and the crude oil supply gap is widening.
More worryingly, India's oil demand is set to accelerate over the next two years, as India's transportation sector and industry continue to expand, as well as government incentives for infrastructure such as highways and manufacturing. Although the fall in energy prices is a good thing for India, a major oil consumer, in the long run, if energy prices continue to fall, India's upstream investment in oil and gas projects will definitely decrease, which means that India's oil technology research and development will be affected. ”
"I know that, but what does it have to do with growing jatropha?" Shakru was still confused.
Pradan said with some displeasure: "What are you in a hurry, I haven't finished talking yet." To solve this problem, we decided to mix ethanol in gasoline and biodiesel in conventional diesel. And this biodiesel is derived from biofuel crops, the most typical crop of which is jatropha tree.
Next year, our plan is to achieve a mix of gasoline and conventional diesel 5 percent, which requires a large number of biofuel crops that are jatropha, so if you say that these tea plantation owners are willing to sign a contract with our Ministry of Petroleum to ensure the supply of jatropha, then we can use the problem of biofuel crop supply to renovate their railway, this matter is carried out by our Ministry of Petroleum, so no one can find fault with it, but these funds have to be paid by them, and we are only responsible for providing a name. Of course, as for the use of this railway, we will not interfere, and they can run it autonomously. ”
Hearing this, Shakru finally understood what Pradan meant, and sighed in his heart that this circle was really big enough, but it was not a solution, but Shakru still had a question, so he asked: "But the question is is that this jatropha tree you said is suitable for planting on the plateau?" ”
Pradhan glared at Shakru and complained, "Why are you so stupid, all we want from the Ministry of Oil is the supply of jatropha trees, who cares where he grows them!" Won't you let them find someone else to plant it and send it to us? ”
Listening to Pradan's words, Sha Keru couldn't help but pat his forehead, he was indeed stupid, how could he forget such an obvious and common government operation method, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm stupid." Oh, by the way, Mr. Pradan, is this biodiesel really that good? ”
"That's definitely not as good as conventional diesel, but this is also a helpless thing, we have to make some attitude to let those foreign suppliers see that we are not at their mercy, and in any case, this biodiesel is always more reliable than the gutter oil fuel that the Ministry of Science and Technology is engaged in." Pradhan said disapprehantly.
"What? Gutter oil fuel? Shakru wondered if he had misheard.
"That's right, it's gutter fuel. I don't know what the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology think, but they actually plan to refine fuel from the cooking oil that has been used, that is, gutter oil. Their theory is that India is a big country of fried food, and the amount of edible oil consumed every year is 20 million to 22 million tons, and if a reliable system is established to collect and use these second-hand oils, then it is possible to extract 2 million tons of biodiesel from it. Pradhan said with a look of disdain.
Although I have seen too many Indians brain-opening and various ideas over the years, the idea of this gutter oil fuel is still shocking Shakru, which is too unbelievable. After a long time, Shakru relieved himself and asked, "So, how is this matter being studied now?" ”
"There is no sign at all, I guess this is the gang of guys from the Ministry of Science and Technology who are cheating on funds, but it was passed, okay, okay, let's not talk about this, you hurry back and ask those tea plantation owners, do you recognize this plan, if you approve it, then you have to hurry up, there are many joints to be opened."
