At the national seminar on methanol synthesis technology held recently, all parties with whom the reporter had contact did not disagree with the economical and technical feasibility of methanol fuel, but they expressed concern about the status of methanol fuel production enterprises being small, scattered, and chaotic. : If this situation does not change, local governments will continue to “wash†with methanol fuel, and methanol fuel will not be available on the market.
After more than 20 years of experimental research, the technical problem of methanol used in automotive fuel has been basically solved, and various preparations for methanol fuel to enter the market are underway. A huge market for methanol vehicle fuel is gradually emerging. This market has attracted the attention of many investors. The most important reason why capital, especially private capital, is keen on methanol fuel is its considerable economic benefits. High-matched methanol fuel prices sell for more than 3,000 yuan per ton, while the current domestic wholesale prices for gasoline and diesel are generally between 5,000 and 6,000 yuan per ton. The considerable economic benefits are either good or bad. Huge spreads have attracted a large number of investors and the entire industry is in a small, scattered and chaotic situation.
An expert who has long been engaged in the research and development of methanol gasoline additives told reporters that with the gradual clearing of the state's market access policy for methanol gasoline, methanol gasoline and gasoline additive products have mushroomed in the market, many of which are fake and shoddy products. Some have no basis for technology research and development, and there is no testing process. When the blended products are stored for a little longer, methanol and gasoline are stratified; some companies do not strictly control raw materials, and some methanol with high water content is also used as a raw material. The use of manufactured products is difficult to meet the quality requirements of automotive fuels.
Tan Zhuzhou, honorary president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, stressed that the methanol industry and alcohol fuel production enterprises must pay attention to three points. First, do not blindly develop in the production process. We must effectively and progressively develop methanol according to the needs of the market. Alcohol ether fuels; Second, during the development of alcohol ether fuels, we must pay attention to the development of production economy and environmental governance. We must deal with both aspects properly. We must not emphasize economic development and neglect the environment. Do not cause harm to the environment. In the course of the development of alcohol ether fuels, production must be strictly in accordance with quality standards, and no safety accidents must occur.
To regulate the production of methanol fuel must first regulate the production of methanol. In order to achieve the normative development of the methanol industry, relevant state departments have already introduced and will continue to publish some relevant industrial policies. For the new methanol project, the entry threshold of 1 million tons per year set by the National Development and Reform Commission is a powerful measure to curb the excess capacity of methanol. For the existing more than 140 methanol production enterprises, because most of them are devices with a scale of 200,000 tons or less, the technology is relatively backward and urgently needed to be renewed. The China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association is starting to regulate and regulate the technical equipment update and transformation. The reporter learned that at present, the association is negotiating and brewing, and the technical cooperation and development coordination organization of an industry composed of patent-owned units related to methanol production technology. It is expected that an important function of the organization is to regulate the transfer of methanol production technology, regulate and control the methanol production capacity to be renewed and reformed, maintain pressure and eliminate backward production capacity. It is understood that the Association will also hold seminars on methanol technology exchanges each year. From the technical level, it will study and formulate some technical specifications, set up industry entry barriers, and make efforts to adjust the structure of the methanol industry and better undertake the country's strategic task of developing alternative energy sources. .
