Pure gasoline Shandong Ji'nan quietly return to the future of ethanol gasoline?

March 7th, 8, the reporter investigated more than 20 gas stations in Ji'nan city and suburb of Shandong province. The survey found that, whether in PetroChina, Sinopec gas stations or joint ventures and private gas stations, the pattern of ethanol gasoline in the past is no longer the same, pure gasoline has already been reproduced in fact, and a large number of gas stations are no longer selling ethanol gasoline.
market rarely ethanol gasoline
before 2006, gasoline burning cars in Ji'nan burned pure gasoline. Since January 8, 2006, 7 cities in Ji'nan, Zaozhuang, Jining, Tai'an, Liaocheng, Linyi and Heze are closed to the use of ethanol gasoline, commonly known as "car drinking". The so-called closed use is that all wholesale and retail enterprises in the prescribed area are converted to ethanol gasoline instead of regular gasoline. According to the requirements, ethanol gasoline should be added to the capital letter "E" before the label, such as E93, which represents No. 93 ethanol gasoline (the 7 city of ethanol gasoline popularized mainly for E93,97 has been basically pure gasoline).
located at No. 65 of Shanda Road, Sinopec Ji'nan 108th gas station is Ji'nan's first ethanol gasoline filling station. But that is the gas station, which is regarded as the "treasure ground" that can be added to No. 93 pure gasoline in many web forum posts. In the afternoon of March 7th, reporters came to this gas station. The reporter saw that there were two gasoline tankers in this gas station, with the red bottom white label labeled "93" and "97". There were no "E" words before the label, and "No. 93 gasoline (III)" was written above the tanker. According to the gas station staff, the station sales of gasoline are high definition clean gasoline, the so-called "No. 93 gasoline (III)" is in line with the country's three emission standard of 93 pure gasoline.
reporter also investigated the private gas stations, such as Chengdu oil refueling station (West Road of Chemical Fiber Factory Road, Road South Road, Qilihe road and the northeast corner of the industrial South Road intersection), and rimbun refueling station (Qilihe Road North Road East). The survey shows that these petrol stations are pure gasoline, and ethanol gasoline is hard to find.
controversial ethanol gasoline
was hard to find pure gasoline before, and ethanol gasoline is hard to find now. There was hardly any momentum in the massive return of the 93 pure gasoline in Ji'nan, and some gas stations seemed reluctant to make a public announcement. This kind of quietly changing oil and the great battle of promoting ethanol gasoline 7 years ago is a heavenly underground.
the promotion of the use of vehicle ethanol gasoline has been known as a sum of gains.
the promotion and use of ethanol gasoline in Shandong Province in January 2006, clearly pointed out in the first article that the promotion and use of vehicle ethanol gasoline is to adjust the energy structure and improve the quality of the atmosphere. It is said that the carbon monoxide can be reduced by more than 30% and that carbon monoxide can be reduced by about 15% by using 90% pure gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol.
but with the promotion of ethanol gasoline, a variety of controversial voices have not been stopped for years: insufficient power, oil, more easily worn to engines, and corrosive to rubber and plastic products.
the time shift of the world. In the past 7 years, great changes have taken place in the promotion of the use of ethanol gasoline. An oil industry insider, who did not want to be named, said that the country was vigorously promoting the use of ethanol gasoline, in addition to environmental requirements, to a large extent due to the need for digestion and aging of grain, because fuel ethanol was made from corn and potato. It was thought that the development of fuel ethanol was beneficial to the promotion of agricultural production and consumption. The circulation of sex promotes the increase of farmers' income. But now, because of the strong demand for corn in feed and deep processing industries, corn prices have risen sharply. Statistics show that in 2006, the corn purchase price in the province was about 1500 yuan per ton, and by 2012, the price had changed to about 2400 yuan, with an increase of about 60%. Meanwhile, in the first half of 2010, China first changed from net export of corn to a net importer of corn. According to the data released by the General Administration of customs, China imported 5 million 207 thousand and 400 tons of corn in 2012, an increase of 197.08% over the same period last year.
this person thinks, "under such circumstances, the government departments are not enthusiastic about promoting the use of ethanol gasoline.
the future of ethanol gasoline in
the use of ethanol gasoline only in 7 cities in the southern and western provinces, in fact, the cities of Ji'nan have become "isolated islands" of ethanol and gasoline. Although geographically close to Ji'nan, Dezhou does not promote the use of ethanol gasoline. "We are very difficult, too." In the afternoon of 7, the head of Ji'nan, a large state-owned oil company, said in an interview that at the same price, high clean gasoline (pure gasoline) was really better than ethanol, and the attitude of the market to ethanol gasoline was clear. He said: "customers have high demand for high clean gasoline and great demand. Nowadays, social gas stations (i.e., non-state gas stations) sell high clean gasoline.
is quite different from the results of a reporter's field survey, but the head of the oil company insists that the company does not stop selling 93 of its ethanol gasoline in Ji'nan, and is now about half the outlets selling ethanol and pure gasoline in Ji'nan.
reporter found that the "method for the promotion and use of ethanol gasoline for car use in Shandong province" issued in January 2006 has not been put to an end only by the date of implementation. Although the market situation has changed greatly, up to now, Shandong has not issued a notice in public to stop the implementation of the "measures".
at present, there are more than 1 million 400 thousand motor vehicles in Ji'nan, and fuel problem is a big problem. Since the second half of 2012, with the haze weather, Ji'nan has become one of the most polluted cities in the country, and motor vehicles are considered to be one of the major sources of pollution. In response to the pollution caused by motor vehicles, the society has paid more attention to the problem of improving fuel quality, and it is known that ethanol gasoline that can reduce emissions seems to be forgotten.
for ethanol gasoline, the environment has the requirements, the car owners have the attitude, the market has the choice, the gas station has been quietly acting, how will the policy be adjusted? Where is the future of ethanol gasoline? We expect to have a clear answer.
