But there are more doubts. After reducing the mining of coal, what will happen to the production of various industries?Will there be a power outage?
Ministry of Environment: Greenhouse gases have increased, the amount of carbon dioxide in the past 60 years has increased by 10% compared to the past few hundred thousand years, the glaciers at the two poles have melted, 27% of Tuvalu’s land will sink into the sea in 50 years, and Venice will become an underwater city
At this moment, everyone thought of leaving their hometown and their families being destroyed.
Development and Reform Commission: The National Development and Reform Commission will fully promote the transformation of various industries in Xiaguo. According to the pre-arrangement, Xiaguo will achieve carbon peak this year (at the end of 2023) and achieve carbon neutrality in 2030.
Ministry of Science and Technology: The Ministry of Science and Technology will increase investment, projects, and increase the development, utilization, and recycling of greenhouse gases to provide a strong guarantee for carbon neutrality. At the same time, it will increase the promotion of unmanned driving and new energy electric vehicles.
The press conference was over, but the speeches of the four major departments pushed the hot spots of BECCS technology to a climax.
The staff of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also played a rhythm in the live broadcast room to let netizens understand the facts, and deepened their expectations for BECCS technology.
Excitement and fear were mixed in their hearts.
The fear is the depletion of resources and the threat of death, and the excitement is that Xia Guo has already taken action.
Professor Chen, how long can the earth's resources last?
Chen Nuo didn't expect that Wei Bing would ask this question suddenly, so he pondered for a while and said: Instead of thinking about how long it will last, it's better to think about whether the form of our social organization will collapse early. Resources are theoretically unlimited. If there is no modern city, then go back to Agriculture and the times chant!
Wei Bing was thoughtful, but Chen Nuo didn't explain in depth, the problem was too complicated.
Renren Daily, which had been prepared for a long time, published an article titled "BECCS Technology: Climate Savior or Ecological Nightmare?" at the end of the press conference, which quickly spread on the Internet.
Chen Nuo naturally also saw this article. Generally speaking, the article is very pertinent. It realistically describes the importance of BECCS, the relationship between large-scale application and the realization of the global temperature control target of 2°C/1.5°C.
It also lists some cases and data.
The emergence of BECCS technology can create too much value for Xiaguo in thermal power plants alone. Now more than 60% of the world's electricity is thermal power generation, and Xiaguo's is even higher, reaching 72%.
Why do some countries lack electricity?Technology and capital are on the one hand, environmental pollution is on the other hand, more is the lack of coal resources and so on.
The emergence of this technology has solved this problem. Thermal power plants can burn garbage to generate electricity, which can not only reduce garbage storage, reduce the generation of viruses when garbage is piled up, but also generate electricity.
The garbage thrown into the sea by various countries in these years is a frightening statistic. The garbage mountain in the sea with an area of 140 million square kilometers is the best proof. This area is almost 12.5% of the land area of Xia Kingdom.
The increase in carbon dioxide has led to the greenhouse effect, the melting of glaciers in the north and south poles has raised sea levels, and how many coastal cities around the world will be submerged?How many people will be homeless?
Melting polar glaciers will lead to fresh water shortages, overflooding, animal extinction, disappearance of coral reefs, return of deadly diseases, release of methane gas, power shortages, disrupted weather patterns, and increased earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Among the top ten disasters after the melting of glaciers, what worries Chen Nuo the most is the shortage of fresh water and the return of ancient viruses.
Water is the source of life. 97% of the earth's water is seawater, and 3% is fresh water. 75% of this fresh water is trapped in icebergs. The earth's fresh water cycle mainly relies on glaciers. In summer, glaciers melt and filter into the plains, and in winter Return to the iceberg again in the form of water vapor, and the cycle repeats.
Once the glaciers melt into the seawater, the circulatory system will be destroyed, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
The second is the ancient virus. If one fails, the entire human race will be finished. This is not alarmist talk.
In 2015, scientists found a virus-Mollivirus sibericum from a glacier that had been covered in dust for more than 3 years. It is twice the size of modern viruses, and the key is still alive. This is a very frightening thing.
Compared with these, what are you afraid of if there is a problem with the storage?
With the end of the press conference, BECCS technology spreads towards the world.
Number one, pay attention to international developments, and push me any news at any time.
After closing the live broadcast room, Chen Nuo gave an order to Brain No. [-]. Now that Xia Guo has surpassed the BECCS technology, it can be regarded as the loss of the job of Eunian, which proposed carbon neutrality.
Chapter 590 Lift the table?
Uncle Li, why don't you watch TV at home in such a cold day?
Why is it so cold? You kid has kidney deficiency. The country has said that it is carbon neutral. Let’s watch less TV and consume less electricity, so we can make a contribution to the country.
Hey, kid, you are so good, you know how to sort garbage?
That is, the news has said that waste incineration can generate electricity, the more detailed the separation, the better the combustion effect, and the more electricity, I can turn on the air conditioner every night!
The BECCS technical conference and the articles of Renren Daily became popular.
Under the impetus of the upper echelon, it only took half an hour. The whole network knows that everyone from 70-year-olds to children who have just entered the first grade can talk about carbon neutrality when they meet, although they don’t know the specific meaning.
There are also more contradictions in this process. For example, companies that produce carbon dioxide now have BECCS technology to directly capture carbon dioxide and the price is low. Then these companies have no meaning of existence and can directly declare bankruptcy.
The bosses of these enterprises are frowning, but there is nothing they can do about it. They dare not oppose national policies and future generations’ plans for a thousand years, and they will be scolded by their children and grandchildren.
However, a notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology made everyone happy. It basically means that these companies can contract the transformation of BECCS equipment in power plants and other factories. As long as they meet the national standards, they can sell as much carbon dioxide to the state.
BECCS capture equipment and reconstruction cost a lot of money. A single set of equipment costs several million for small ones, and hundreds of millions for large ones. In addition to maintenance and management, the cost is even higher.
There are so many things in the country that need to be reformed, it must be difficult for the country to do it alone, and some companies may not be able to spend such money.
Let these companies that produce carbon dioxide do it. As long as they invest in the early stage, they will make money in the later stage. If you can reduce the cost or increase the capture rate, you will earn more and more.
The state reduces capital investment, revitalizes enterprises, and forces enterprises to develop research and development to increase capture rates and reduce costs, killing three birds with one stone.
As for how these companies that produce carbon dioxide cooperate with the remodeled companies, these are free to coordinate with the local government. If you make money and can solve the problem of carbon indicators, and then block others, then someone will naturally ask you to be a good person.
The country was full of joy, but the international community was not so happy.
They repeatedly read the content of the press conference and the article of Renren Daily, and the more they looked at it, the more ugly their faces became.
2023年碳达峰时间比夏国之前预定时间提前了7年，2030年碳中和提前了30年，尤其碳中和时间比全球最发达的国家还要造出30年。
This time terrified them, because they proposed the concept of carbon neutrality to curb the development of developing countries, and Xia Guo was naturally included.
The Xia Kingdom has developed rapidly in the past few years, and it is expected that they will be able to get rid of their harvest sooner or later, but this time of separation makes them uncomfortable. If this technology is spread to other countries, how will they harvest those? A country with backward industry?
Therefore, no matter what, this technology cannot spread out.
So, they jointly found the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xia Dynasty.
Minister Wang, regarding the BECCS technology, you can use it in the Xia Kingdom, but you must not spread it out. This will greatly affect our interests. You don't want those countries to develop it and then threaten you in turn, right?
snort!
Hearing the domineering words of the EU representative, Wang Yi snorted coldly.
Your Excellency Olabe, please watch your words.
First, BECCS technology is unique to the Xia Kingdom. We can open it to any country we want. This is our freedom, and you have no right to ask us;
Second, Xia Kingdom is a country that loves peace. Whether other countries develop or not has nothing to do with us. We will not suppress it;
Third, as for threatening us?I think you are afraid that they will develop and threaten you!After they have BECCS technology, you no longer have cheap labor, the industries you transfer to their countries will only contribute to their GDP, and you can no longer harvest them with carbon emissions, am I right !
Do you think our country of Xia is as shameless as you?
Every sentence of Wang Yi was like a knife inserted into the hearts of Ou Labei and other European Union representatives. What Wang Yi said was exactly what they were worried about. With the means they used to suppress those countries, when those countries developed, they would definitely be able to bring this country to an end. Organization to get rid of.
Looking at the people with ugly faces, Wang Yi's low voice sounded again: Let me ask Your Excellency Olabei again, did you propose carbon neutrality for the purpose of improving the environment and curbing the global warming, and we joined in for this purpose , signed the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
Then the current BECCS technology can improve the environment, why not let it be promoted? What you are doing seems to be contrary to the original intention. Is it really to limit our development?
If this is the case, then you can return the money we paid for the carbon sinks, and let's go our own way.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi became angry. The concept of carbon neutrality proposed by the European Union was to improve the environment and curb global warming in name, but in fact it was to limit the development of backward countries.
Xia Guo is a developing country. Why does it actively support carbon neutrality? There are three aspects.
In addition to being a big country, it also wants to contribute to the improvement of the environment. After all, Xiaguo's carbon emissions account for 27% of the world.
Don't think that the aura of a big country is to swell the face to make a fat man, it is actually very important. In modern society, no matter how powerful a country is, it can't compete with a group of alliances and needs more allies. This is why Xia Guo supports so many projects.
The second is to optimize the industrial structure, eliminate high energy consumption and high pollution enterprises, alleviate my country's dependence on coal, oil and other energy sources, and promote the development and utilization of new energy sources.
The third is to prevent domestic multinational companies from transferring their manufacturing industries. The national conditions at that time absolutely did not allow multinational companies to transfer. We can learn their technologies and complete industrial chains at home. Without them, we would not be able to progress so fast.
Nowadays, each industry in the Xia Kingdom has a very complete industrial chain, which can almost be autonomous, and they are no longer needed. If they want to withdraw, they will withdraw and see which country can accommodate them.
I'm in a hurry, let's flip the table and stop playing with you.
The representatives of Europa League were speechless. They couldn't respond to Wang Yi's words. If it was to improve the environment, why didn't they allow the promotion of BECCS technology?
If it is denied, it is acknowledging that this rule is to curb the development of backward countries. This has already reached a consensus, but now it is brought to the table, do you want to face it?
After a while, Ou Labei said: Minister Wang, there is no need to offend us for some backward countries, right?
Your Excellency Olabe, you seem to have forgotten that we were once a member of those backward countries you said.
Wang Yi stared at Ou Labei and sneered: As for offending you, saying something impolite, do you deserve it?
Chapter 591
Ou Labei and other representatives were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that Wang Yi would be so tough and didn't give them any face.
Wang Yi is right, Xia Guo is really not afraid of them now.
In terms of economic strength, the GDP of their 27 member states last year was 15.6 trillion knives, and Xia Guo alone can compete with them.
Carbon-based C3 materials, carbon-based chips, lithium-sulfur batteries, unmanned driving systems, smart cities, virtual reality, etc., these technologies are unique to Xiaguo, and the technical barriers are extremely high. Each market can reach millions [-] million knives.
Especially carbon-based chips and virtual reality, these two technologies, carbon-based is currently demonstrated to be 0.3nm, which represents the future, and virtual reality is a product that represents a cross-age.
There is also a Hongmeng system. If the Qiandu holographic image is only suitable for the Hongmeng system, then the kidney OS and AD operating systems will withdraw from the market sooner or later.
Unless they closed the country, they could only be dominated by Hongmeng, but would they dare to close the country?
Obella took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in her heart, and said in a deep voice: Minister Wang, we can use lithography machines, high-tech machine tools, bearings and other technologies in exchange for your non-proliferation.
Do you think we need it?
Wang Yi chuckled, there are carbon-based materials, and the set of IT2 high-precision machine tools brought back by Chen Nuo, and now there is a Tiangong project team. It is only a matter of time before they catch up. The two things of Oulian really don’t need it. .
There are two reasons for the upper management not to compromise. One is that the blockade of the European Union must be broken, because they are in the same group as M. BECCS technology can unite more developing countries, earn more funds, and become allies by the way;
The second is to really consider improving the environment. After all, developing countries account for more than 50% of carbon emissions.
Alright, I can tell you clearly that the Xia Kingdom will definitely fulfill its responsibilities as a great country, that BECCS technology is not allowed to be promoted, and that we cannot let our future generations point their fingers at us and scold us.
After Wang Yi finished speaking, he said to the secretary: See off the guests!
Now that the conversation has come to this point, Obella and other representatives of the European Union can only leave the conference room.
Looking at the departing Obella, a leader said: "Old Wang, aren't you being too direct?"
direct?Wang Yi snorted coldly: If I hadn't been concerned about international etiquette, I wouldn't have let them step into this gate.
Hmph, they followed M and stabbed us in the back some time ago, and now we are in the early stages of the fourth industrial revolution. At present, we and M are the only two countries. If they want to keep the first echelon, they can only follow M. Hei, in that case, we can't let them do what they want.
A total of 196 countries have signed the Paris Agreement, all countries in the world have signed, but there are only 33 developed countries, that is to say, 163 countries have been harvested by carbon neutrality, and these countries are allies of the Xia Kingdom.
Obella and the others who walked out of the conference room had gloomy expressions: cheer up, it's not yet known who will win the battle, since they don't know good from bad, let's fight!
This was naturally heard by Wang Yi and the others, who sneered.
There are 44 countries in Europe, but there are only 27 in the Europa League, 17 of which have not yet joined. The Eagle Country has also withdrawn. Only Hans and Gaul are the ones to support the facade. Unfortunately, they are not yet united. Under this situation, what to fight?
Minutes after they left, a notice was posted on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Lithium-sulfur batteries will be fully released for export, and five more cooperative brands of unmanned driving technology will be added. Countries that are hostile to Xia and discredit Xia are not within the scope of consideration this time.
The opening of lithium-sulfur batteries has been planned last year. The on-site production line has been completed and can meet the needs of Xia Guo. Now it is exported. Under the advantages of energy density and technical barriers, foreign countries can only choose lithium-sulfur batteries. Battery.
Making it better than buying it will also apply to foreign countries, and they will not be able to stop them until they have used lithium-sulfur batteries and formed a habit.
Otherwise, no matter how good your product is, if others don't use it, it will be waste copper and rotten iron.
An hour later, the Ministry of Commerce also issued a notice, because the emergence of BECCS technology will change the subsequent environment. Xia Guo, in the spirit of a great power, will assume more responsibilities and will undertake more supporting work for foreign power plants and BECCS technology. , Interested countries are invited to cooperate with the Ministry of Commerce of Xiaguo.
As soon as the notice came out, developing countries rushed forward to seek cooperation. There are nearly 12 billion people in the world without electricity, and at least one third of them suffer from power shortages.
They also know that this is their only way out of being harvested.
The establishment of power plants means that they solve the short board of power shortage, and the industry can improve rapidly.
All of a sudden, the negotiating teams of Xia Guo's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Commerce and other departments were mobilized.
Ah San, who claims to be developing a super-Xia country, also came to the door. For such an arrogant country, the Ministry of Commerce has never met them. Aren't you awesome?I used cow dung to build it myself.
As long as it is not a hostile country like M and Ah San, anyone who comes will not be rejected.
rich?Then take real money, pay first and then work.
Want BECCS technology without money?It’s easy to say, let’s exchange resources, all kinds of mines, ports, etc. can be used.
In just half a day, Xia Guo's Ministry of Commerce finalized contracts for 69 countries and regions, with a total of 153 thermal power plants, the cooperation amount was as high as 8000 billion, and the generating units were 16 billion kwh.
Most of these are in exchange for the development of various oil fields, mines, and leased ports.
Among them is the port of Djibouti in East Africa, which is located in the transportation hub of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.
