A new birth of the new energy market

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, State Energy Office and other ministries jointly issued five “a thousand enterprises to implement energy-saving action plan,enterprises for preferential tax and loan policies. With the release of energy-saving program, the two energy stocks rose sharply. The industry believes that with the policy of increased support for energy-saving power as well as listed companies raise new substantive topics of energy stocks will soon play a potential for growth, led the market up to become a new force.

“Energy-saving program,” suggested that China’s taxation system reform in accordance with the process, pay close attention to introduction of the production and use of the “energy-efficient water-saving catalog” and the comprehensive utilization of resources directory products to enterprise income tax preferential policies; to study the key resource-conserving technologies, a major equipment and products in a certain period of time to implement appropriate policies of value-added tax. In addition, the state is also saving energy and reducing consumption to make the investment and financing channels to prioritize, focusing on saving energy in support of a number of major projects and demonstration projects, giving priority to support energy-saving goals ahead of schedule to achieve energy-saving projects of enterprises; research support enterprises to establish a stable energy transformation funding channels, and guide social capital into saving energy and reducing consumption; study the establishment of multi-channel mode of financing, coordination of national policy-related banks, international financial institutions to support the thousands of low-interest loans to energy saving technological transformation of enterprises. Enjoy preferential policies to enterprises covered by the 1008 iron and steel, nonferrous metals dell xps m140 battery,dell xps m1210 battery, coal, electricity, petroleum and petrochemical, chemical, building materials, textiles, paper and other key energy-consuming field of nine.

At present, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets are about 30 listed companies with the concept of new energy sources, mainly solar energy, wind energy, oil, coal, desulfurization and geothermal and other fields. From the existing situation, a real all-round new energy business are not many, and new energy to bring the substance of the listed companies the proportion of low income. But the industry said that with the increased policy support and impetus to improve the energy efficiency of listed companies, this situation will significantly change the substantive themes with new growth potential energy companies will soon be able to play.

In the new energy sector, in areas such as solar and wind energy, are now progressing rapidly. Listed companies, including solar energy security Tianwei change TBEA, Shengyi technology, solar power and sailing Connaught shares. Among them, the holding subsidiary of Tianwei Yingli Main silicon solar cells and related products; TBEA subsidiaries engaged in the manufacture of solar photovoltaic components; Force Main Connaught solar photothermal conversion of solar energy materials, high boron silicon series products, etc. ; Shengyi city science and technology is the production of solar silicon only listed companies, industry monopoly advantages. In addition, the Hunan Electric G Jinshan shares and is representative of wind energy, space science and technology on behalf of coal oil, Kaidi Electric Power, is desulfuration industry representatives, and the Beijing Thermal Power geothermal fields is typical of a monopoly in Beijing geothermal resources.

The industry believes that, G Tianwei, Fengyuan Biochemical, Connaught power the sun, and sailing TBEA shares the progress of the new energy business faster, and has achieved significant operating income, and this part of the revenue growth was benign. half-yearly net profit will be substantially the same period last year to about 100 percent, one of the reasons is that the second phase Yingli smooth production, sales revenues and profits increase. Correspondingly, the share price movements of these companies are also very strong this year, Shengyi rose 24 percent science and technology, Fengyuan Biochemical up 44%, G Tianwei were up 83%.

Market participants said the real growth is the key to investment in energy stocks, some companies currently only have the concept of new energy sources, while some companies are holding a real business, which will make use of their potential to become a leading value-added rapidly rising market, a the new force.

Global IC technology and industrial development trends in a six

IC technology continue to move forward in accordance with Moore’s Law

According to SIA statistics, the global semiconductor industry in 2005 than the 6.8 percent growth in 2004, and in 2004 the growth rate of 27% compared to the global semiconductor industry slowdown, the size of the annual industry sales of 227.48 billion U.S. dollars.

At present, the development of IC technology is: 90-nanometer technology has entered the mass production stage, the 60 nanometer technology in the import period, 45 pre-nano-technology research and development are being made.

Known as Moore’s Law refers to the IC number of transistors on a chip about every 18 months increased by 1 times 1 times to enhance performance. At the same time, the functional unit of integrated circuits to reduce the cost of an annual average of about 25%. Therefore, the integrated circuit prices fell every year, most notably the decline in the price of memory circuits and other circuits of the decline in prices than the slow memory.

In accordance with the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, 2007, the most advanced technology is the 65 nanometer, 45 nanometer in 2010 to 18 nanometer in 2018.

The analysis of the road map to note two points: First, for each technology along the R & D - the sample - the production of the three levels of development, the most advanced technology of production is the first year will be the technology into production, and also the second within 3 months of production-dell latitude d810 battery,dell latitude d820 battery,dell latitude d830 battery; secondly, the road map marked with different colors of the new technology needs, the current program known manufacturer and has been optimized to create the program is known, unknown or have been to create programs the transition of the four solutions, the display space for the development of technological innovation.

From the technical development trend, as a result of silicon CMOS technology is approaching physical limits, in the continued development of traditional CMOS structure, is focused on the development of silicon-based material, strained silicon, SOI materials, compound semiconductor materials and the corresponding device structure and process technology. On the other hand, while pressing ahead with new devices (such as nanoelectronic devices) study.

IC into the nano-manufacturing technology and SoC era

Great size of IC chip refers to the number of components contained in more than 107, contained in the gate count of more than 106 integrated circuits. System-on-chip SoC refers to the integration of silicon in a single subsystem or system, including processors, high-density logic circuits, analog and mixed-signal circuits, memory and so on.

From discrete devices to integrated circuits to the SoC, is a major revolution in the field of microelectronics. 21, integrated circuit manufacturing technology has entered the nanotechnology era and S oC.

Increase in silicon content was “silicon cycle” characteristics

Electronic products in the semiconductor products used in electronic products accounted for the total value referred to as the percentage of silicon content.

With the development of new products and electronic products increase in complexity, the silicon content also increased continuously. The first generation of electronic products such as analog television sets, tape recorders, such as tape, the silicon content of less than 20%; the second generation of electronic products such as digital cameras, GPS navigation, the silicon content has reached 35%; the third generation of electronic products, such as digital TV , wireless LAN equipment and 2.5 and 3G mobile phones, silicon content up to 40% more than others. Therefore, end products through a global market, but also can estimate the market demand for IC products, and to look for the point of IC industry and the market entry point.

Over the past 30 years, the international semiconductor market has shown signs of cyclical rise (prosperity) and the decline (recession), it is said that the cyclical changes such as a “silicon cycle.”

The global semiconductor industry has gone through seven cycles, the main characteristics: an average of one cycle every four to five years, uninterrupted cycle, almost every 10 years a large trough or large peak. I believe the industry: the future of the semiconductor industry cycle will continue, but the volatility of the next cycle will be significantly reduced.

Digital consumer electronics products to become the protagonist

Products from the semiconductor industry market, the market has been the driving force for the evolution from the computer to the communications and consumer electronics products. Previously, computer applications is driving the market-dell latitude x300 battery,dell xps m140 battery,dell xps m1210 battery, so major corporate buyers. And now, the market gradually changing hands to push the communications and consumer electronics products, the main buyers become both businesses and consumers. Market research firm IDC forecasts global consumer products in 2009 than in 2004 semiconductor market growth of 1-fold, from 140 billion U.S. dollars increased to about 300 billion U.S. dollars.

Semiconductor lighting and solar cells is an important direction

At present, the semiconductor technology is the focus of integrated circuits, but not limited to integrated circuits. In fact, the field of semiconductor devices is very wide, for example, semiconductor lighting is a very important direction.

In addition, the semiconductor solar cells is also a very important direction of solar cells last year, the global growth rate is 34 percent, this year is expected to grow by more than 10%; MEMS is an important emerging technologies. Would also like to emphasize is that the semiconductor manufacturing technology is expanding the scope of application, widely used in manufacturing a new generation of electronic components.

Changing the structure of the semiconductor industry

70s of the last century, foreign enterprises of all semiconductor companies are IDM (integrated device manufacturer), its product categories from the system, semiconductor devices and IC, until the silicon materials, semiconductor manufacturing equipment. 80’s from the beginning of the last century, changes in the structure of the semiconductor industry: IDM companies to focus on areas such as product development and increasing focus on a number of product categories; foundry model and its growing importance, non-production line (fabless) companies emerged; semiconductor industry entered the era of broad international cooperation. To the last century 90’s, IDM business of outsourcing assembly and testing of the ratio increased gradually, and start the production of certain chip foundry company entrusted to. At the same time, IC foundry business is changing, from the beginning in order to expand production capacity mainly to improve the performance of development-oriented, and now is mainly to provide solutions.

Japanese industry believes that the semiconductor industry can now be divided into seven kinds of business models: the first is called the IDM model systems, such as Panasonic. The second mode is called slit Nich products IDM, like Sanyo. The third model is the hegemony IDM, such as Intel. The fourth model is the memory IDM companies such as Samsung. Fifth is the IP providers, such as ARM. Sixth is the Fabless companies focus on design and marketing. VII commissioned the manufacture of the OEM. The seven highest-margin business model is hegemonic IDM, low profit margins the company is memory.

In recent years, the structure dell 6y270 battery,dell 75uyf battery,dell c1295 battery,dell gd761 battery,dell kd476 of the global semiconductor industry is constantly evolving and is still developing. Some large companies are “fissile”, some IDM small enterprises engaged in manufacturing line (Fablite), some IDM companies taking Foundry, also on behalf of some IC design companies to start building the factory. The general trend is vertical integration, horizontal division of labor. On China’s IC industry, we should be the industrial structure is diversified and not confined to a structure. However, what business model, according to the characteristics of enterprises, enterprises of the technological level and management ability to be considered.

The risk of investors targeted green technology

The United States most legendary venture capitalist John Dole sharp insight, in Google, Amazon and other companies to become well-known for its large investment before, so the accumulation of enormous wealth. Today, Dole will be known as attention turned to the emerging green technology industry.

Green technology (Greentech) that is clean technology, covering the water purification, air purification, nanotechnology, alternative fuels, can be recycled and renewable sources of energy and other related technologies dell latitude d510 battery,dell latitude d520 battery. Dole believes that green technologies like information technology and biotechnology have the same high returns, the 21st century will surely become an investment destination, and now it is time to increase investment in green technology for the best time. As Silicon Valley’s most prestigious venture capitalists, one of Dole’s investment in green technology to predict the risk of the investment community has aroused concern in the community.

U.S. National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) President Mark Heesen noted that Dole has a natural insight into industry trends, from KPCB, he managed the company’s investment plan, the green technology industry will usher in a new wave of investment.

U.S. green technology venture capital network to a report released recently shows that in North America in 2005 to invest in clean technology venture capital of more than 1.6 billion U.S. dollars the total amount of more than 35 percent growth in 2004. The fourth quarter of 2005 alone, investment in clean technology venture capital of 502 million U.S. dollars were as high as 2004 compared to the same period surged 60%. The report predicts that the next 3 years in North America the risk of investment in green technology is expected to double.

U.S. research firm Clean Pioneer released in March showed, such as bio-fuels, hydrogen fuel cells, solar and wind energy and other clean energy markets of the world’s total 40 billion U.S. dollars last year, as traditional energy prices rising, this figure is expected in 2015 before the year will increase by up to 3 times the 167 billion U.S. dollars.

However, the risk of investment in green technology is also very strong. Mark Hesse noted that in the past on renewable energy and other clean technology investment often ended in failure, a very important reason is lack of market demand. In addition, the energy market is almost oil, coal and natural gas companies the world, alternative energy companies to snatch market share would be tantamount to.

The pursuit of venture capital is high risk high return. With technological advances, more and more venture capital into the green technology industry, investment in clean technology projects have a lot of access to the higher returns. More important point is that the U.S. clean technology companies such as SunPower IPO success of venture capitalists have greatly increased the confidence that they look forward to Google, Amazon and other companies listed in glory after the dell latitude d600 battery,dell latitude d610 battery,dell latitude d620 battery recurrence of green technology industry.

Methanol as alternative fuel vehicles is feasible

Since the last century since the 80’s, methanol as a fuel research and development has always received much attention lately, the industrial application of synthetic and vehicle technology to make significant progress, it is now time to give the scientific concept of development evaluation. Dimethyl ether fuel, although the development of late, but the momentum of rapid, it should give a reasonable evaluation.

On the basis of the current level of research and application technologies, the methanol as an alternative fuel vehicle technology does not exist, the environment and security issues, the key is people’s awareness, government policies and effective management.

The toxicity of methanol fuel

Methanol fuel in addition, storage, transport and vehicle exhaust have produced a small amount of methanol vapor. Human exposure to methanol there are three main ways: breathing vapors, misuse of drink and skin absorption exposure. Therefore, the use of methanol as fuel must be carried out in strict accordance with the operating procedures to minimize the leakage of methyl alcohol to avoid direct access to the digestive system. Shanxi Province for more than a decade in M15 and M85-M100 methanol fuel dell latitude d800 battery model practice, the Secretary of the relevant personnel to take a medical examination showed that the track was not found with methanol caused by abnormal or occupational health cases. United States Institute of methanol toxicity of methanol fuel and the use of security has been very detailed assessment of the overall view that the use dell latitude d510 battery of methanol fuel in the fuel is safe.

Methanol fuel impact on the ecological environment

Methanol fuel as a clean alternative to diesel fuel and fuel cell vehicle future large-scale use of fuel, on the surrounding ecological environment has been that people are generally concerned about another problem. Methanol in the soil susceptible to biodegradation. And gasoline is hard to dissolve in water, not proliferation, in the difficult environment degradation, the occurrence of accumulated pollution. Comprehensive comparison, the methanol removal easier in the environment.

As a result of the use of coal gasification technology, coal pollutants such as sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, mercury and other impurities can concentrate completely removed, thereby reducing the direct fuel pollution caused by coal, and the synthesis of almost no emission of pollutants, therefore, the production of methanol fuel is a clean coal technology, the smaller the pollution of the environment, especially in multi-generation technology, energy use and resource use has been further enhanced.

Methanol fuel vehicle cold-start

Methanol fuel vehicle cold-start difficulties, will lead to incomplete combustion of formaldehyde, methyl formate, such as hydrocarbon emissions, but the use of exhaust purification equipment to deal with easily. This regard, the course of many years of practice in Shanxi Province has made a reliable purification technology. Therefore, the large-scale use of methanol fuel vehicles, will not cause even more serious than the exhaust gas emission.

Corrosive methanol fuel cars

Methanol is a polar organic solvent, for certain rubber and plastic products prone to swelling, premature aging, and certain non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper has a corrosive effect, and therefore part of the automotive parts and components appropriate to deal with in order to dell latitude d520 battery,dell latitude d600 battery,dell latitude d610 battery methanol to increase the adaptability of the materials. Wharton Company in Shanxi Province for many years the practice has shown that there is no blended with low percentage of corrosion, as can the use of regular gasoline; Shanxi best practice shows that the new company, such as pure methanol fuel to the engine there is no significant corrosion, but some parts need to use Alcohol-resistant materials, such as the use of alloy materials, components, pumps, etc. Alcohol resistant.

Resources methanol fuel cars

The main use of domestic coal production of methanol. China’s coal resources, about 40% of high-sulfur, low quality coal, can not be used as steam coal direct combustion, gasification through desulfurization, can be used as raw material for synthesis of methanol fuel, the use of access to clean. In addition, biomass gasification methanol synthesis process further methanol fuel can become a renewable energy, both at home and abroad are paying attention to is the future synthesis of an important means of methanol fuel. Therefore, we believe that the full use of China’s relatively rich in coal resources, especially high-sulfur-rich low quality coal reserves, combined with coke oven gas and coal-bed methane resources, such as the large scale synthesis of methanol fuel to replace some of the oil resources. With the biomass gasification technology to improve and mature, from the preparation of methanol from biomass will gradually make up for the fossil fuel energy consumption of resources caused by vacancies, and ultimately become a fully renewable fuel.

Methanol fuel vehicle technology

China’s coal methanol as raw materials to produce dell latitude d620 battery,dell latitude d800 battery a mature and advanced technology not only has its own design, manufacturing and construction capacity, methanol production, the market competitiveness of products, has been involved in the global competition in the market. Domestic coal-scale methanol production from an annual output of 50,000 tons to 800,000 tons, the current planning of two million tons of annual production capacity of the project methanol production scale for the production of methanol fuel to provide a better flexibility, but the enterprise in order to improve the resources and energy efficiency, market competitiveness and influence, the new methanol projects tend to increase.

On coal-based dimethyl ether fuel

Dimethyl ether fuel with high cetane number (50 ~ 55), an ether fuel combustion for better results, and there is no low-temperature methanol and accelerate the start of the shortcomings of poor performance is an ideal substitute for diesel engine fuel. Studies have shown that DME as diesel fuel for vehicles with high efficiency and low pollution, it can be to achieve a smoke-free emission, and reduce noise and to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. In addition, dimethyl ether and liquefied petroleum gas liquefied petroleum gas properties similar to liquefied petroleum gas is an ideal alternative fuel. Under the same conditions of temperature, dimethyl ether down the saturated vapor in the gas, its storage, transport and other security than the liquefied gas. However, dimethyl ether production technology is still two-step dehydration of methanol, higher production costs, one-step production of dimethyl ether are not yet ripe for industrial technology. Although DME fuel like cars dell latitude d810 battery, but car engines and the practical application of and should therefore pay special attention to, focus on the production of DME engine technology and applications.
