Daily Energy Reference: New Energy Vehicle Technology Roadmap Still Unclear

In June, the output of refined oil products showed negative growth year-on-year. Refining losses increased According to data released by the National Development and Reform Commission recently, refined oil production in June fell by 0.6% year-on-year, and it experienced a negative growth for the first time this year; it fell by 7.3% month-on-month.

Not only that, the expansion of loss limits for refinery companies has led to a decline in the volume of processed crude oil and refined oil products. According to statistics, in the first quarter, PetroChina incurred a loss of 6.132 billion yuan in refining, and Sinopec's refining business suffered a loss of 576 million yuan.

Industry insiders believe that due to the continuous rise of international oil prices in April and May, the two giants will have higher refining losses than the first quarter.

According to statistics, from January to May this year, the petrochemical industry realized a total profit of 173.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.5%, and the profit growth rate showed a monthly declining trend.

The National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that although the country raised the prices of refined oil products on April 6, the price increase of products was limited, and the increase in sales costs was higher than the increase in main business income; the cost of product sales in January-May increased by 38.3% year-on-year, while the main business Revenue increased only 31.6% year-on-year, which affected profit growth.

The data show that from January to June, the processing volume of crude oil was 229.96 million tons, the refined product output was 131.56 million tons, and the ethylene production was 7.81 million tons, an increase of 7.1%, 7.4%, and 17.2% year-on-year respectively. However, from the monthly data, the growth rate is In February, 11.1%, 12.7%, and 30.6% fell to -0.7%, -0.6%, and 4.7% in June.

The National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that the negative growth of refined oil production was mainly due to the rapid rise in international crude oil prices, and the refining industry turned from profit to loss. From the perspective of imports and exports, in the first half of the year, the petrochemical industry’s import and export trade continued to grow rapidly. The National Development and Reform Commission stated that the development trend in the second half of the year depends on crude oil prices. (Daily Economic News)

The number of new energy vehicles in 25 pilot cities exceeded 10,000. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology yesterday that the demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles has been carried out so far. The total number of energy-saving and new energy vehicles in 25 pilot cities exceeds 10,000. Push harder.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently held a conference on demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles in Beijing. The meeting summarized the demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles and put forward requirements for the next step.

Since July 2010, the national government has increased the number of demonstration and promotion cities for 1,000 energy-saving and new energy vehicles in the Ten Cities to 25, and thus the new energy vehicles have fully entered the policy support phase.

The conference pointed out that the demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles have begun to take shape and achieved certain results; as of now, the total number of energy-saving and new energy vehicles in the 25 pilot cities exceeds 10,000, of which private purchases of new energy vehicles have exceeded 1,000. Nearly 100 charging stations and switching stations have been built, more than 4,500 charging points have been installed, and the total mileage of the demonstration operation has exceeded 330 million kilometers.

The new energy vehicle technology roadmap is still unclear. Both auto industry and capital markets have set off an upsurge of new energy vehicles. However, the roadmap for specific technological development does not seem to be clear.

On July 14, the National Science and Technology Development Plan for the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology was announced. The industry interpreted it as a clear indication of the full implementation of “pure-electricity-driven” technology transformation strategy for new energy vehicles.

However, in the latest issue of Qiushi Magazine, the Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council published an excerpt at the 8th National Congress of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology in the end of May. The content of the report shows that China’s emerging industries have some areas or products, and technology routes. The direction of development is not yet clear. For example, new energy vehicles, what is the direction of development and the ultimate goal, and now the development of hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles is not the final product, it is not very clear.

Although the new energy vehicle subsidy policy has not been introduced, but the car companies have "just around the corner." In an interview, the reporter found that car companies were waiting for the country to determine the development direction and ultimate goal of new energy vehicles, and they were doing “two-handed preparations” for the development of hybrid power and pure electric power.

As the final solution for new energy vehicles, what is the market potential for the development of pure electric vehicles? How fast is the market penetration rate? The interviewed car companies did not feel that they were in the bottom of their hearts.

Song Jian, executive vice president of the Institute of Automotive Engineering at Tsinghua University, said that the development of pure electric vehicles is not only limited by technology and price, but also brings new problems, such as electricity generation may bring more carbon emissions, the battery also May cause more pollution.

“If the market needs to develop further, reaching a penetration rate of 10%, more than half of the experts believe that at least until 2016.” The above report believes that the development of electric vehicles also has certain uncertainties, and future development will largely depend on The government's policy orientation and strength.

Experts: We must vigorously strengthen people’s livelihood and water conservancy construction to highlight people’s livelihood in water conservancy construction. Water conservancy construction covers many aspects. The infrastructure directly benefited by the people should be taken as a priority project for water conservancy construction, and the protection and improvement of people’s livelihood should be reflected in the preparation of the plan, reflected in the examination and approval of the project, embodied in the investment arrangement, expand the scope of the people’s livelihood water conservancy service, and improve the level of people’s livelihood water conservancy protection. To better meet the people's needs for water conservancy. At present, many rural areas in China still have problems with drinking water insecurity. The construction of drinking water safety projects in rural areas should be further accelerated. By 2013, the rural drinking water safety problem in the plan should be resolved. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the drinking water problem of the newly unsafe drinking water population should be basically solved, allowing farmers to drink water and clean water with ease. .

Emphasize people's livelihood in water conservancy reform. The Central Document No. 1 this year involved a number of water conservancy reforms. People's livelihood is one of the basic principles that must be adhered to in the reform of water conservancy. We must unify the strength of water conservancy reforms, the pace of development, and the degree of social sustainability. We must effectively protect the vital interests of the people in the promotion of specific reforms such as water rights reforms and water price reforms, and fully mobilize the people’s enthusiasm for participation in reforms so that the achievements of the water conservancy reform can be achieved. Benefit the broad masses of the people. It should be noted that in order to narrow the regional disparity, related policies should also be tilted toward the central and western regions, especially poor areas, ethnic areas, border areas, and old revolutionary areas.
