Promoting the Use of Ethanol Gasoline in Vehicles Reveals Henan Province's Annual Output of Zhongyuan Oilfield in 8 Months
Since August, several regions in China, including Guangdong and Liaoning, have faced tightened refined oil supplies due to natural disasters and rising international oil prices. However, Henan Province has not experienced such issues, largely due to its early adoption of vehicle ethanol gasoline. According to the Office of Promoting Car Alcohol Gasoline in Henan, from November last year to July this year, the province's ethanol gasoline initiative has already saved a full year’s worth of oil production from the Zhongyuan Oil Field.
Data from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission shows that using ethanol gasoline can save between 5% to 10% compared to regular unleaded gasoline. This means that for every liter of ethanol gasoline used, 0.1 liters of traditional gasoline is saved. With an average monthly sale of 150,000 tons of ethanol gasoline, Henan saves approximately 15,000 tons of regular gasoline each month. Over eight months, the province has sold 1.2 million tons of ethanol gasoline, translating into a savings of 4.188 million tons of crude oil. In 2004, Zhongyuan Oil Field produced over 4 million tons of crude oil—so the ethanol program alone saved one year’s worth of production in just eight months.
The provincial government began piloting ethanol gasoline in cities like Nanyang, Zhengzhou, and Luoyang as early as mid-2001. Following national guidelines, the full implementation of ethanol gasoline was completed by November 2004. Today, more than 96% of the fuel market in Henan uses ethanol gasoline, marking a successful transition toward sustainable energy solutions.
Experts highlight the importance of ethanol gasoline for Henan, a major agricultural province where grain surplus often becomes a challenge. While the government struggles with grain storage and subsidies, farmers face the issue of increased production without corresponding income growth. Ethanol gasoline provides a viable solution by creating a new market for agricultural products. Moreover, it helps alleviate oil shortages, especially in areas currently experiencing supply issues. As a result, Henan’s proactive approach to ethanol gasoline demonstrates both environmental and economic benefits, making it a model for other regions facing similar challenges.
