Yunnan Automotive Natural Gas Development Accelerates Nearly 2000 Oil-to-Gas Automobiles

Recently, the reporter learned from the Yunnan Automotive Natural Gas Promotion Conference that up to now, the province has nearly 2,000 oil-to-gas vehicles, and has built 10 filling stations with an annual sales volume of 30 million cubic meters. According to the Natural Gas Economic Research Institute of the Southwest Oilfield Company, by 2020, the use of natural gas in the province will reach 8 billion cubic meters, and the utilization of natural gas for vehicles will reach 800 million cubic meters, driving the total industrial output value of local governments to exceed 10 billion yuan.

The Provincial Department of Science and Technology actively promoted the pilot application of natural gas for vehicles, and approved the Yunnan Dingshi Xinji Energy Development Co., Ltd. to carry out the “Yunnan Natural Gas Extension and Application Demonstration Base Construction Project”. The company is the provincial unit of science and technology "Yunnan vehicle natural gas (compressed natural gas CNG, LNG) promotion and application demonstration base project" bear the unit, is the province's first company with a full set of CNG, LNG conversion qualifications. The company’s first LNG engine modified by a diesel engine was successfully fired at the sixth vehicle inspection site in Kunming, and was certified by the Yunnan Provincial Institute of Transportation Science. The engine was modified from the original diesel engine without loss of power. It saved more than 32% of fuel cost and 85% of total emission reduction, indicating that Yunnan is gradually leading the industry in the development of new automotive energy.

Dingshi Xinji General Manager Yang Lihua told reporters that compared with the original model of the same type of gas engine, the torque of the conversion machine decreased by 1.6%, the purchase cost decreased by 45,000 yuan, the performance indicators are superior, stable operation, with a wide range of promotion basic condition.

It is reported that the modification of LNG engine will make up for the shortage of compressed natural gas. It can provide power for small vehicles, and it can also provide power for high-powered trucks and coaches. A tank of 450ml of LNG can last about 500 kilometers. The use of natural gas as a power source for large-scale operating vehicles can save 80,000 yuan a year compared with burning diesel. Emissions of pollutants can be reduced by 80%.

Dingshi Xinji currently refits 1,291 taxis, 109 coaches, and 10 comprehensive law enforcement vehicles in Kunming City, accounting for 89% of the city's converted vehicles. It is a vehicle gas electronic tag and vehicle gas used by the Quality Supervision Bureau of Kunming City. The bottle use certificate specifies the registration and issuing unit.

It is reported that within two years, the company will invest 150 million yuan to modify 10,000 natural gas vehicles. The qualified rate of one-time conversion of natural gas vehicles will reach 100%, and the qualified rate of supervisory inspection will reach 100%; the emission of exhaust gas from modified vehicles will be reduced by more than 80% compared with that of fuel vehicles. ; Refitting cars to reduce fuel costs: taxi 24000 yuan / vehicle, driving a car 14,400 yuan / vehicle.
