More than one expert predicted that the earth’s oil will be depleted by XXXX, and some people even said it was 2000 in the last century. However, the reality is that new oil fields are found every year in the world and there is no tragic atmosphere of “depletion of resourcesâ€.
Of course, the oil company's bosses must know that stubbornly digging oil can only sit on the air. Therefore, it is better to engage in some sideline activities to show that they are determined to keep up with the times and love the environment. For example, investing in new energy industries will be extinguished. First of all, we are familiar with the domestic two barrels of oil ...
At present, the layout of the two barrels of oil in the new energy industry has only just begun. As a result, many people do not understand what they have done.
In January 2016, PetroChina and FAW signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Beijing. Both parties will cooperate in the field of new energy vehicles and Internet smart cars. CNPC will build charging stations and filling stations in key cities or highways, and support FAW new energy vehicles in the industrial chain. The two sides will also set up joint laboratories to increase the research and development of lubricants.
PetroChina and FAW are also considered to be the right ones. Let's take a look at Sinopec here.
As early as 2010, Sinopec and Beijing First Group announced a joint venture to establish Sinopec Shinco New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of RMB 10 million. The First Group is committed to the research and development of pure electric vehicles, claiming to be in a leading position in related fields.
At the beginning of the establishment of the new company, the two parties planned to invest 2.7 billion yuan to build charging stations: By 2015, a total of 130 charging stations will be built to meet the demand for electric vehicles in Beijing. And plans to invest 1.7 billion yuan to complete the new energy application research and development center, dedicated to research and development of electric vehicles and charging facilities.
In July 2015, Sinopec also cooperated with BAIC New Energy to use the gas station to provide the electric exchange efficiency of Beijing Beiqi Electric Taxi. The first batch of gas stations to carry out the power exchange business were Shuangyushu and Dongjing Road.
Two years passed, I don't know how much technology Sinopec's new energy has landed;
Let's take a look at foreign countries.
Total oil company of France had purchased SunPower solar energy company in 2011. In 2016, it spent $1 billion to purchase battery manufacturer Saft. Saft originally produced power batteries and once supplied the Mercedes-Benz S 400 Hybrid.
According to Total, they will use Saft's batteries as energy storage products, complementing SunPower's solar technology. (How does it sound like a Tesla and Solarcity routine?)
By the way, many analysts believe that the final demand for batteries for energy storage products will exceed that of the automotive industry.
Total will also rely on its own gas station in France to build a charging station, and has begun to study the feasibility of this matter. Another European oil giant, Dutch Shell, is also investigating the installation of a charging pile at a gas station.
John Abbott, president of Shell's global downstream business, said that in the coming decades, oil tankers will not replace electric vehicles. He sees charging stations as a potential business opportunity. Because of the long charging time, people always go to the convenience store of the gas station to eat, drink and drink. (Do not belittle the income of gas station convenience stores...)
Norwegian oil giant Statoil is interested in offshore wind power and they are testing HyWind offshore wind turbines. These wind turbines power offshore oil platforms and have saved the company 30% of its expenses over the past 6 years.
Oil companies embracing new energy sources, especially in the electric vehicle industry, have certain advantages in themselves, because existing gas stations have settled on land and electricity. On the highway, monopolistic oil companies have more advantages in providing charging services. At present, we have been able to see charging piles at many high-speed gas stations.
The question is: Will the giants accustomed to the oil business be able to switch to electricity and put user experience first? After all, the charging industry is not as high a barrier as oil, and the competition between Internet companies and traditional giants has begun.
