The general layout of the biofuel ethanol industry was determined at the National Convention. The meeting called for adhere to the control of the total amount, limited points, and fair access, appropriate use of idle alcohol production capacity, appropriate distribution of grain fuel ethanol production, accelerate the construction of cassava fuel ethanol projects, and carry out demonstrations of the industrialization of fuel ethanol from straw and iron and steel industry exhaust gas. The meeting decided to expand the promotion and use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles in an orderly manner. In addition to 11 pilot provinces such as Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, it will be further promoted in 15 provinces including Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei this year.
Ethanol gasoline is a mixed fuel formed by adding an appropriate amount of ethanol to gasoline, which can effectively improve the performance and quality of oil products, reduce the emission of pollutants such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and is a clean energy that improves the environment; The source of ethanol is convenient and direct, and it can be obtained by methods such as grain fermentation or chemical synthesis. The promotion of ethanol gasoline can reduce the dependence and consumption of oil and natural gas, and alleviate the shortage of oil weather resources during heating this winter and next spring.
The promotion of the use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles is a strategic measure of the country, and it is also a complex systematic project. The relevant state departments have been steadily advancing it for many years. As early as June 2002, 8 ministries and commissions including the former State Planning Commission and the State Economic and Trade Commission formulated and issued the Pilot Program for the Use of Ethanol Gasoline for Vehicles and the Implementation Rules for the Pilot Use of Ethanol Gasoline for Vehicles. In five cities including Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Nanyang in Henan, Harbin and Zhaodong in Heilongjiang, a one-year pilot project on the use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles was carried out. In February 2004, 7 ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on printing and distributing the “Pilot Plan for Expansion of Ethanol Gasoline for Vehicles” and the “Implementation Rules for Expansion of the Pilot Program of Ethanol Gasoline for Vehicles”, expanding the scope of the pilot to Heilongjiang and Jilin. , Henan and Anhui provinces to promote ethanol gasoline for vehicles throughout the province. In the pilot area, a closed application demonstration area is established. In the closed application demonstration area, from the upstream of the industry, it is mandatory that waste oil can only be used as a raw material for biodiesel, and the biodiesel plant is closed and supplied to limit the hype price, so as to facilitate on-site supervision and utilization. The biodiesel produced by biodiesel enterprises that meet the standards can be closed into the chain of petroleum and petrochemicals nearby, and the mixing in the refinery can be completed. The downstream implementation of petrochemical diesel without biodiesel shall not enter the market for sale. The same is true for fuel ethanol, where mandatory closed management is implemented from the source to the consumer end. Overall, the pilot work on the use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles has achieved the expected goals. The pilot work has been running smoothly. The ethanol gasoline used in vehicles has been recognized by consumers in closed areas. The number of vehicles using ethanol gasoline has increased steadily, and the sales of ethanol gasoline have been stable. Lift.
In September 2017, fifteen departments including the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the “Implementation Plan on Expanding the Production of Biofuel Ethanol and Promoting the Use of Ethanol Gasoline for Vehicles”, which was proposed to be used nationwide by 2020. Ethanol gasoline for vehicles has basically achieved full coverage.
The existing experimental results show that the rational use of ethanol gasoline can reduce the emission of pollutants (mainly carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons) in automobile exhaust and the pollution to the atmosphere to a certain extent. The preliminary conclusion is that ethanol gasoline for vehicles is suitable for use in my country, and the environmental benefits of using ethanol gasoline for vehicles outweigh the disadvantages. The promotion of the use of denatured fuel ethanol has good social and environmental benefits, and is beneficial to the sustainable development of the entire economy, social progress and the environment. The improvement of quality has a great promotion effect.
In addition, my country’s grain production has had bumper harvests year after year. While ensuring market supply, it has also brought problems such as high policy inventory, which has aroused great attention from all walks of life. Relevant local governments and experts have offered suggestions and suggestions. It is suggested to refer to international experience to expand the production and consumption of biofuel ethanol, adjust the supply and demand of food, effectively dispose of food that exceeds the deadline and exceed the standard, improve the level of national food security, and promote the structural reform of the agricultural supply side. This is also the decisive reason for the country’s decision to promote the use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles.
There will be two important changes in the future: (1) the use of food will not only be used for food, there will be more fuel ethanol projects that can be made from food, and the past policy is not to compete with others for food; (2) ethanol can generally be added 10 %, the price of ethanol is 30% to 50% of gasoline, and the emission of pollutants is relatively low. This technology, which is widely used in foreign countries, has been demonstrated in China for more than ten years, and it can finally be industrialized. Judging from the current situation, in the past ten years, the pilot work on the use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles has achieved the expected goal. It is expected that the number of vehicles using ethanol gasoline will increase steadily in the future, and the demand for ethanol gasoline will also expand. The golden age will come.
