Chapter 189 Coal Chemical Industry
Jin Province, Datong City.
The newly established North Coal Corporation is located in Datong City.
Wu Chang Gongzheng, the general director, and Sun Guangyou, the chief technical director, were in a coal chemical plant in Datong City.
"Lao Wu, there is no problem with coal-reduced oil technically, after all, Germany vigorously promoted coal-reduced oil in the late stage of World War II, and the problem is that the cost is ......" Sun Guangyou wanted to say and stopped.
Of course, Wu Changgong knows the advantages and disadvantages of coal-reduced oil, coal-fired gas, and coal-chemical industry.
The advantages are that raw materials are cheap, domestic reserves are huge, and strategic security is good; The disadvantages are that the processing cost is too high, the need to consume a large amount of water resources, the lack of waste slag recycling technology, and the relatively large pollution.
The cost of refining and processing coal-based oil is very high, and when the price of crude oil is not less than 70 US dollars per barrel, coal-chemical oil has an advantage, and in recent years, crude oil prices have been sluggish, which has greatly suppressed the enthusiasm of many enterprises for coal-based oil.
However, the loss of water caused by coal-fired oil is very large, and the distribution of coal in China is more in the west and less in the east, and less in the north and south, while the distribution of water is just the opposite.
Based on the production of 1 ton of oil, coal-based oil needs to consume 3-3.3 tons of coal and 14-14.3 tons of water, while the refinery consumes 1.5 tons of crude oil and 7.5 tons of water.
Obviously, there are problems with these, but Wu Changgong knows that the advancement of coal-reduced oil is urgent.
Because there are already four fusion power stations in operation in the country. Remember [Seven or Eight Chinese Network щщщ.78zщ.coм] in one second to read for free without pop-ups!
In terms of the domestic energy structure, many people may think that it has been transformed into oil-based, but in fact it is still dominated by coal.
In the past decade or so, traditional fossil fuels will continue to dominate the world's energy production and consumption for a long time.
In particular, coal accounts for about 70% of primary energy in China's energy mix.
According to statistics, in 2011, the national coal output was about 3.5 billion, of which nearly 2 billion tons of coal were consumed for power generation, and in 2015, the domestic coal output reached 3.9 billion tons, and another 400 million tons of coal were imported.
Of this coal, more than half of it is used to generate electricity.
China has been the world's largest coal producer for many years, and according to the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook, China's coal demand will still account for more than 60% of its total energy consumption by 2020 due to the secrecy of nuclear fusion power plants.
Although in recent years, China has actively adjusted its energy consumption structure, resulting in a slow decline in the proportion of coal consumption, and a gradual increase in the proportion of high-quality clean energy consumption.
In 19902009, the proportion of coal consumption in China dropped from 76% to 70%, a decrease of about 6% in 20 years.
However, coal is still the largest part of China's energy mix, accounting for more than two-thirds.
With the successive commissioning and layout of nuclear fusion power stations, there will be more than 2.2 billion ~ 2.6 billion tons of coal overcapacity.
In addition, the domestic electric vehicle frenzy is also rapidly reducing oil consumption, not to mention China's crude oil imports, which are still maintained at about 450 million tons per year, in fact, the oil reserves in it have accounted for a large proportion.
As of October 5, 2015, internal data from the National Energy Reserve Center showed that a total of 230 million tons of crude oil and refined oil were in reserve.
Wu Changgong is one of the few people who knows about the existence of nuclear fusion power stations, and he certainly knows that the country's energy structure is rapidly changing from coal-dominated and oil-second to nuclear-powered.
If it is not changed now, with the rollout of nuclear fusion power stations, more than half of domestic coal companies will have to get lunch boxes.
Therefore, the North Coal Corporation, the Northeast Coal Corporation, and the Northwest Coal Corporation, the three coal associations held by the whole people, were established silently.
In order to enhance the coal chemical strength of Jin and Qin provinces, the State Grid has planned to deploy 12 Jinwu II nuclear fusion reactors in the two places and build six medium-sized nuclear fusion power stations.
These medium-sized nuclear fusion power stations will supply cheap electricity to the coal chemical industry of the Northern Coal Corporation.
Using this cheap electricity, the North Coal Corporation will launch a comprehensive coal chemical layout.
Water consumption is large, and sewage recycling plants are used.
The waste slag recycling process does not work directly with money and electricity.
Coal chemical industry pollutes a lot, directly solves pollutants, and recycles waste at will.
The average domestic industrial electricity price is 0.6 yuan per kilowatt hour, while the subsidized electricity price for nuclear fusion power stations is 0.03 yuan per kilowatt hour.
Electricity prices have dropped to one-twentieth of the current level, and the comprehensive cost of coal chemical industry is expected to be reduced to 10~30%.
This means that the production cost of each barrel of coal-fired oil has dropped to 7~21 US dollars.
Moreover, with the promotion of nuclear fusion power stations, the overall production cost of society will be lower and lower, which will further reduce the production cost of coal chemical industry.
2.2 billion ~ 2.6 billion tons of coal can produce 730 million ~ 860 million tons of coal-chemical oil, plus Huaguo itself can produce 210 million tons of crude oil per year.
All of them add up to 940 million ~ 1.07 billion tons of oil.
At present, the world's three major oil producers are the Emirate of Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Lucia, and the fourth is China.
Among them, the Federation of Lucia produces 10.3 million barrels of oil per day, equivalent to 510 million tons per year, and the cost of oil production is 25 US dollars per barrel.
The United States is the world's second largest oil producer, accounting for 11.94% of the world's total oil production, and is also the largest consumer of oil resources, with a daily oil production of 10.59 million barrels, equivalent to an annual output of 530 million tons, of which the shale oil production cost is 37~40 US dollars per barrel.
The largest oil producer, Sandland, accounts for 13.24% of global oil production. It produces 11.75 million barrels of oil per day, equivalent to an annual output of 584 million tons, and the production cost is 3~10 US dollars per barrel.
In other words, once the coal-to-chemical oil is in full swing, it will mean that China will become the world's largest crude oil producer, and the production cost can be hard to resist the sand.
The Netherworld has carried out a comprehensive strategic deduction, and coal-fired oil is a powerful weapon to shake the hegemony of the American sword-oil.
For example, the Datong coal-chemical oil plant under construction is a plant with an annual output of 4500~60 million tons of coal-chemical oil.
The North Coal Corporation has already arranged six coal-to-chemical oil plants of the same size.
There are 4 Northeast Coal Corporations and 3 Northwest Coal Corporations.
In addition, there have been more than a dozen coal-based oil plants before, and it is expected that by 2018, the total output of coal-based oil can reach 6~700 million tons.
Wu Changgong did not tell Sun Guangyou and others about the nuclear fusion power station for reasons of secrecy.
"Guangyou, listen, the next domestic subsidy will be implemented for coal-chemical oil, anyway, your external caliber is that the coal chemical refining process has been improved, resulting in a significant reduction in production costs."
"Uh...... Isn't this self-deception?" Sun Guangyou said with a strange face.
Wu Changgong said solemnly: "Anyway, you don't care about selling, as long as you go all out to study the production process and improve the refining process and slag recovery as much as possible." ”
"Alright then!" Sun Guangyou didn't know what was going on above, and he was doing such a thankless thing.
After Sun Guangyou inspected the Datong coal-to-chemical oil plant, he hurried to a coal-to-chemical oil plant that had already been put into use.
There, research and development of coal chemical refining processes are carried out.
With the continuous arrival of personnel and funds, the three major coal companies are moving very fast, and the construction of nuclear power plants of the State Grid is also moving fast.
On the other hand, Huang Mingzhe has provided a large number of scientific researchers in the field of coal chemical industry through the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, the Creeper Alliance, and the Truth Society.
Under this national system, the coal chemical industry is advancing by leaps and bounds.
