"green revolution" strategic transformation curtain has opened

The report shows that relying on its own enterprise characteristics and combined with the regional advantages of Xinjiang, the company has officially established a wholly-owned subsidiary Guanghui carbon technology company to plan and build a 3 million T / a carbon dioxide capture, pipeline transportation and oil displacement integration project in haminao Maohu area in stages. Including: 100000 t / a carbon dioxide capture and utilization demonstration project in the first phase. The project has completed the preparation of the feasibility study report, obtained the registration certificate of enterprise investment projects in Yiwu County, completed the filing of the environmental impact registration form of construction projects, and signed the carbon dioxide product cooperation framework agreement with oil field units with carbon dioxide displacement demand in Xinjiang.

According to the company's announcement on March 14, the first phase of the project has been started, which indicates that the Guanghui Energy Co.Ltd(600256) ccus project has entered a substantive stage.

According to relevant data, CCUs means "carbon capture, utilization and storage", which refers to the process of separating CO2 from industrial process, energy utilization or atmosphere, directly utilizing it or injecting it into the stratum to realize permanent CO2 emission reduction. This technology is not only suitable for conventional reservoirs, but also for low permeability and ultra-low permeability reservoirs, which can significantly improve crude oil recovery. Carbon dioxide flooding can generally improve crude oil recovery by 7% - 15% and prolong the production life of oil wells by 15-20 years.

In addition, on January 25, 2022, the company also released the strategic planning outline for the development of hydrogen energy industry chain (20222030), which defined the long-term layout of entering the hydrogen energy track. Through the implementation of the comprehensive utilization project of hydrogen energy industrial chain, according to the calculation of the annual average carbon trading price of Beijing Green Exchange in 2021 of 44.89 yuan / T, it is expected that by the end of 2030, only carbon trading will increase the income of the company by about 800 million yuan.

Guanghui's hydrogen energy industry chain planning will give full play to the characteristics that hydrogen energy has the dual attributes of energy and energy storage at the same time. Combined with the carbon reduction needs of energy consuming enterprises in naomao Lake area of Yiwu County, based on the existing chemical hydrogen production (gray hydrogen), Guanghui will take the new energy (wind room photovoltaic) power generation - electrolytic water hydrogen production (green hydrogen) as a breakthrough, cultivate and drive the rapid development of hydrogen production, hydrogen transmission, hydrogen storage, hydrogen consumption and related businesses. The application end gradually realizes three substitutions in Naomaohu area: replacing the operation heavy truck in Naomaohu area with hydrogen energy heavy truck to realize the substitution of transportation energy; Replace the production power of enterprises in the industrial park with green power to realize the replacement of green power; Hydrogen is used to replace Maonao Lake chemical project.
