Beijing: Development of Natural Gas Vehicles for Super Electric Vehicles


A battle to protect the air quality and improve the environment in the capital has been vigorously launched.

On September 2nd, the "Key Tasks of the Clean Air Action Plan for 2013-2017 in Beijing" was released, stating that "by 2017, the annual PM2.5 concentration in the city will drop by more than 25% compared with 2012, and will be controlled at 60 micrograms per cubic meter. "Left and right," the overall goal, and from the pressure reduction of coal-fired, control vehicles reduce oil, pollution emission reduction, clean dust, heavy pollution emergency and other five aspects of environmental protection measures and responsible entities. This is also considered by the industry as the most stringent and detailed environmental protection policy combination punch so far.

The reporter noted that in this battle of clean air, “Gasification Beijing” is one of the most important battlefields, including accelerating the “coal to gas” process of power plants and vigorously promoting natural gas vehicles. In addition, accelerating the upgrading of oil products is also an important front.

Industry insiders believe that this policy document issued by the capital city of Beijing has a benchmarking significance. It not only plays an important role in accelerating the development of these industries, but also helps the relevant companies to define their business development goals and become a pioneer in this battle.

Accelerate power plant "coal gas change"

Coal-burning pollution is one of the culprits of atmospheric haze and has thus become a key governance area for this “Clean Air” action plan. The document proposes that in 2013, the Beijing Municipal Working Plan for Accelerating the Reduction of Coal-fired and Clean Energy Construction in 2013-2017 will be formulated and implemented. By 2015, the total amount of coal-fired coal has been reduced by 8 million tons compared to 2012; the proportion of high-quality energy consumption has been increased to more than 85%. By 2017, the total coal-fired capacity will be reduced by 13 million tons compared with 2012, and will be controlled within 10 million tons; the proportion of high-quality energy consumption will be increased to more than 90%, the proportion of coal in energy consumption will fall below 10%, and clean energy such as electricity and natural gas will be used. The supply and energy balance have been further strengthened.

The reporter noted that in order to complete the coal slimming program, the document focused on accelerating the process of “coal-to-gas reform” of the power plant. If it is proposed to cut coal for power plants, it will basically build four units of the Northwest Gas Thermoelectric Power Center in 2013 and put it into operation. The 2 units started Huaneng Beijing Thermal Power Plant with the addition of a gas-fired generating unit project; the realization of a non-coalized area in the core area of ​​the city; in 2013, 44,000 households of the bungalow area in the core area completed the "coal to electricity" heating project.

The data shows that compared with traditional thermal power generation, natural gas power generation generates about 42% of the CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants, and the amount of nitrogen oxide emissions is less than 20% of coal-fired power plants. The construction of gas-fired power plants covers an area that is generally only coal-fired power plants. 54% of them can build power plants in power-hungry urban load centers to provide on-site power supply, especially for densely populated metropolises such as Beijing.

However, gas sources and costs have been the two major factors that constrain natural gas power generation. "The fuel cost of natural gas is much higher than that of coal, and the residual heat capacity of gas turbines after power generation is lower than that of coal-fired units. Therefore, coal-to-gas conversion requires a lot of determination." Wang Yuming, deputy director of the energy department of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, once told The media said.

To ensure “smoothness,” the “Clean Air” program also clearly emphasized that in 2013, the first phase of the Datang Coal Gas Production Project and the first phase of the Tangshan LNG project will be completed, and construction of the Shaan-Jing four-line project will begin; After the completion of the Shaan-Jing Fourth Line, Datang Coal Gas and Tangshan LNG projects were fully completed and put into production. Ten exurban towns were all connected to pipeline natural gas; in 2016, the construction of Shaan-Jing Five Line was started to form multiple gas sources, multi-channels, and multiple directions. The supply pattern. Actively strive for national natural gas use indicators, and meet the city's 20 billion cubic meters and 24 billion cubic meters of gas demand by 2015 and 2017, respectively.

In terms of the economics of Beijing's natural gas power generation, an industry analyst told the China Securities Journal that although the profitability is not good, there are state subsidies.

CICC believes that natural gas power generation will open up the market demand for gas turbines and waste heat boilers. It is expected that the national market capacity will reach around 15 billion yuan during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. The listed companies engaged in gas turbine manufacturing in China mainly include AVIC Heavy Machinery, Harbin Power, Shanghai Electric, etc. The main products involved in the heat recovery boiler business include Dongfang Electric, Shanghai Electric, Hailu Heavy Industry, Kodak Electrical and Mechanical, and Hangcao.

Natural gas vehicle surge

According to the proportion of pollution sources announced by the Chinese environmental authorities, vehicle emissions accounted for 22%, industrial emissions 16%, natural dust 16%, coal combustion 17%, and the rest accounted for 29%. Therefore, in the heavy lifting of environmental protection policies introduced this time, the prevention and control of motor vehicle emission pollution has become a top priority. The reporter noted that speeding up the elimination of old vehicles and accelerating the promotion of new energy and clean energy vehicles have become one of the important paths. Among them, the number of natural gas vehicles has exceeded the number of electric vehicles.

According to the “Clean Air” plan, by the end of this year, Beijing will study and introduce relevant subsidies policies and measures to encourage the replacement of hybrid vehicles and passenger vehicles with a capacity of 1.6 liters or less, which will be implemented in 2014. In addition, government official vehicles will take the lead in promoting the use of new energy vehicles and encourage individuals to purchase and use new energy vehicles policies to be implemented next year. We will vigorously develop new energy and clean energy vehicles in public transportation, rental, suburban passenger transport, tourism passenger transport, environmental sanitation, postal services, and driving schools.

From the perspective of the specific number of development targets, the development of natural gas vehicles will surpass that of electric vehicles. For example, in the area of ​​buses, the plan is to propose that 3,000 natural gas vehicles be updated in 2013, 700 electric vehicles and 1950 natural gas vehicles will be updated in 2014, 450 electric vehicles and 1,000 natural gas vehicles will be updated in 2015, and new energy and cleanliness will be realized. The proportion of energy vehicles to public transport vehicles has reached about 65%; the ratio of electric vehicles in the Fifth Ring Road has reached 20%, and natural gas vehicles have reached 50%. For example, in the taxi industry, the document is clear. In 2013, 850 electric vehicles and 2,000 natural gas vehicles will be added. In 2014, 2,000 natural gas vehicles will be renewed. In 2015, 1,000 natural gas vehicles will be updated.

In order to ensure the smooth promotion of pneumatic vehicles, the plan also proposes that in 2013, the planning for supporting facilities for filling stations in Beijing should be formulated. Starting from 2014, construction of supporting facilities should be completed according to the plan to meet the development needs of the annual clean energy vehicles.

The industry believes that the unstable gas source is an important factor affecting the development of natural gas vehicles. In addition, the recent price increase of natural gas has also affected the economic efficiency of natural gas vehicle promotion. However, the "Clean Air" program to some extent shows the local government's attitude and determination to promote natural gas vehicles. The listed companies in related businesses mainly include Futian Automobile and Yutong Bus.

It is reported that the "China Natural Gas Industry Summit 2013" sponsored by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation will also be held in Beijing on September 26-27. Topics such as natural gas infrastructure planning, downstream natural gas utilization, and investment in the natural gas sector will be taken as Hot spots were explored.

"Beijing VI" standard or introduction

The “oil product upgrade” that had previously received widespread market attention has also become one of the key tasks of this plan, and the specific upgrade schedule and roadmap have been clarified.

The document pointed out that it is necessary to improve the vehicle fuel standards and supply high-quality fuel for vehicles. Since 2014, the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau and the Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision have taken the lead in studying and formulating the sixth phase of local standards for vehicle fuel oil, further tightening the sulfur, olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, vapor pressure, distillation range, and sulfur in diesel oil in gasoline. Major environmental indicators such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are used to carry out vehicle oil fitting experiments and strive to be implemented in 2016, and to supply vehicle fuel oil that meets the sixth stage emission standards.

At present, the Beijing Five-Standard Gasoline, which is equivalent to the State Five standard, was implemented in Beijing in May 2012. Most of the country is still in the process of upgrading from the country's three countries to the four countries. According to the State Council's July 5th draft of the “National Standard for Vehicle Gasoline” issued by the State Administration of Customs for approval, the sulphur content of the country's five gasolines is set at no more than 10 PPM, while the sulphur content of the country’s three countries is no more than 150 PPM. And 50PPM.

Zhuochuang Information Analyst believes that the “local fuel standards for vehicles in the sixth phase” proposed in the plan means that since 2014 Beijing's oil quality standards have risen from the current Beijing Wuyue to Beijing VI, and sulfur and other pollutants will Further decrease. The implementation of the Beijing Five standard was more than a year old, and the Beijing VI standard was faster than the market expectation, indicating that the oil upgrading was progressing smoothly.

Iso-octanes that reduce the emission of pollutants from gasoline combustion and urea solutions that reduce the emission of diesel-burning pollutants are two important methods for upgrading oil products. Haitong Securities believes that the acceleration of oil upgrading, the refinery catalyst manufacturer Sanjia Environmental Protection, the improvement of gasoline vehicle exhaust emissions iso-octane producer Haiyue shares, and the improvement of diesel vehicle exhaust emissions of vehicle urea solution manufacturer Sichuan Meifeng etc. Will be the main beneficiary.
