我国大型石油公司如何应对生物乙醇与生物柴油发展潮流

The bioethanol and biodiesel craze:How should China's oil companies respond?

近年来,世界生物乙醇与生物柴油产量迅速增加,各国纷纷出台雄心勃勃的发展计划,技术进步与创新成果显著。相比之下,我国在发展生物乙醇产业方面,目前还没有支柱性的技术和原料来大幅提高生物乙醇的产量,要达到2020年生产1000万吨生物乙醇的目标,需要有重大的技术突破。我国发展生物柴油产业的困难主要集中在:原料供应缺乏管理,价格体系非常脆弱;相关标准的出台远远落后于工业发展;进入加油站系统较为困难;政府优惠税收政策尚未完全形成等。大型石油公司的生物乙醇与生物柴油发展战略应集中在:保证原料供应的安全,设立相应的标准,提高技术水平,将生物柴油纳入大型石油公司的成品油销售网络,延伸产业链,重视技术创新等方面。

Worldwide bioethanol and biodiesel production capacity continues to expand rapidly. With nation after nation launching ambitious development plans, technological progress and innovation are yielding remarkable results. Against this background, China lacks the supporting technology and raw materials necessary for a substantial increase in bioethanol output. China will need a significant technical breakthrough in order to meet its goal of producing 10 million t/a of bioethanol by 2020. Difficulties facing China's developing biodiesel industry include a lack of regulation for raw material supplies, an extremely fragile pricing system, and standards which are unable to keep pace with the industry. Accessing the fuel-station system is another considerable difficulty. As well, preferential government taxation policies have yet to take shape. Large oil companies should focus their bioethanol and biodiesel strategies on securing supplies, establishing applicable standards, improving the level of technology in China, incorporating biodiesel into their oil-product sales networks, extending their industrial chains and prioritizing technical innovation.
