湯炎博士在肯尼亞Menengai Ⅲ地熱發(fā)電站開工典禮暨綠氨項目備忘錄簽字儀式上的演講稿全文
Your Excellency President William Ruto, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
尊敬的威廉·魯托總統(tǒng)閣下、各位貴賓、女士們、先生們，
It is with immense pride and excitement that we gather here today to mark our company’s historic moment in our second milestone to contribute Kenya’s geothermal development – the groundbreaking ceremony of Menengai III Power Plant. Your Excellency, your leadership and unwavering commitment to sustainable development have paved the way for this momentous occasion.
今天，我們懷著無比的自豪與激動的心情齊聚一堂，共同慶祝Menengai三號電站的開工儀式。這標志著我們公司在肯尼亞地熱開發(fā)領域邁出的又一堅實步伐，鑄造了另一座重要里程碑?？偨y(tǒng)閣下，您卓越的領導力和對可持續(xù)發(fā)展的堅定承諾，無疑為這一重要時刻鋪平了道路。
Kaishan is a comprehensive and leading manufacturer in the world of compressors, expanders and modular power plants etcetera. Our factories are located in Asia, America and Europe, and our products are sold in over 90 countries and regions in the world.
開山集團是全球領先的壓縮機、膨脹機、模塊電站等綜合性制造商，我們的制造基地分布在亞洲、美洲和歐洲，產(chǎn)品銷往全球90多個國家和地區(qū)。
We share the same vision as Your Excellency and your government on the green and renewable energies. Because of the vision we have, we developed modular geothermal power plants, which are powered by Kaishan expanders. Kaishan modular geothermal power plants have changed the geothermal industry. Our modular power plants are featured with high efficiency, high availability, inexpensive, quick delivery and installation, flexibility to form various high efficiency cycles. Our 1st milestone in Kenya is Menengai I geothermal power plant. The required guaranteed net power output is 33.25 MW, and the power plant actual net output right now is around 38.4 MW. The power plant operation efficiency is over 100%. In addition, we do not consume any steam to eject the non-condensable gas from the system. GDC can use the saved over 30 t/hr steam, or over 10% of the power plant actual steam consumption, to generate more power.
我們與總統(tǒng)閣下及貴國政府共享綠色和可再生能源的愿景。正是基于這份信念，我們開發(fā)了模塊化地熱發(fā)電站。這些由開山膨脹機驅動的模塊電站，徹底改變了地熱行業(yè)——它們具有高效、高可用性、高性價比、快速交付和安裝的優(yōu)勢，且可靈活配置成多種高效循環(huán)。在貴國，我們的第一個里程碑是Menengai I地熱電站。其要求的保證凈輸出功率為33.25 MW，而電站目前的實際凈輸出約為38.4MW，運行效率超過100%。此外，我們的模塊電站不需要消耗蒸汽來引射不凝性氣體，這使得GDC能夠利用節(jié)省下來的超過30噸/小時的蒸汽，或者超過發(fā)電廠實際蒸汽消耗量的10%的蒸汽，生產(chǎn)更多電力。
Menengai III will be our second milestone in Kenya. In 14 months from today, the construction of Menengai III will be completed and the power will be put to the grid. This is Kaishan’s speed and Kaishan’s efficiency, and it will demonstrate continuously the advantages of Kaishan modular geothermal power plant technology.
Menengai三號電廠將是我們在肯尼亞的第二個里程碑。該項目將在14個月內(nèi)全面竣工、并網(wǎng)發(fā)電。這就是開山速度和開山效率，也將繼續(xù)彰顯開山模塊化地熱電站技術的優(yōu)勢。
We will not stop here in this project. As Kaishan is the leader in the world on the hydrogen and process gas compressors, and as we share the same vision as Your Excellency on the green industrialization and renewable energies, we will definitely participate in the Africa green industrialization initiated by Your Excellency, and we are honored to have the opportunity to build the first green fertilizer plant in Africa. We will not only install more geothermal power plants, but also use the geothermal electricity to generate the green hydrogen and to produce ammonia from the green hydrogen. Kenya’s agriculture will benefit from the green ammonia, and it can also be used as a fuel to replace diesel, to reduce the carbon dioxide emission and to meet Kenya’s net zero initiative. With Your Excellency’s support, Kaishan will produce Kenya’s first kilogram of the green fertilizer in 24 months from the notice to proceed. Your Excellency, we know it is not easy to achieve this target, and we definitely need Your Excellency and your team’s full support. With your unwavering commitment and support, both our teams together will accomplish this great project and create a new landmark of the green industrialization in Africa.
我們深知，前進的道路永無止境。作為全球氫氣和工藝氣體壓縮機領域的領航者，我們非常認同總統(tǒng)閣下的提出的綠色工業(yè)化和可再生能源愿景，并堅定地參與總統(tǒng)閣下倡導的非洲綠色工業(yè)化進程，我們更是榮幸能有機會建設非洲的第一個綠色化肥廠。開山不僅將安裝更多的地熱模塊電站，還將利用地熱電力生產(chǎn)綠氫，并由綠氫中生產(chǎn)綠氨。綠氨不僅有助于推動肯尼亞農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展，還可以用作燃料替代柴油、減少二氧化碳排放，響應肯尼亞的凈零排放倡議。在總統(tǒng)閣下的鼎力支持下，開山承諾將在開工令后 24 個月內(nèi)生產(chǎn)出肯尼亞第一公斤的綠色化肥。我們深知此非易事，也絕對少不了總統(tǒng)閣下您和您團隊的全力支持。有了您堅定不移的承諾和支持，我們雙方團隊將共同完成這一偉大項目，打造非洲綠色工業(yè)化的新地標。
We will closely work together with Kenya government, our partners in the country and local communities, in this project and also in all the future projects. Through all these projects, we are not only to pursue the green and renewable energies, such as the green electricity, the green hydrogen and the green ammonia, but also to create more jobs and to result in more economic impact on local communities.
開山將與肯尼亞政府、肯尼亞國內(nèi)合作伙伴和當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)密切合作，共同推進該項目以及未來的所有項目的順利開展。我們不僅要追求綠色電力、綠氫和綠氨等綠色可再生能源，還要創(chuàng)造更多就業(yè)機會，為當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)帶來更多切實的經(jīng)濟效益。
30 years ago, when I was working on my PhD in United Kingdom, one of my hallmate was from Kenya. It was the 1st time for me to have an opportunity, to get to know better Kenya, its great people and the beautiful country. Since 2017, I have traveled to Kenya many times, and I have witnessed the huge changes and achievements in the country. I am so glad and honored that I can contribute to the very small part of the achievements, and Kaishan is so proud and honored that it can contribute too. Of course, we will do more and better, and we must do more and better.
30年前，當我在英國攻讀博士學位時，我的一個室友來自肯尼亞。這是我第一次有機會了解肯尼亞，了解這一美麗的國家以及偉大的人民。自2017年以來，我有幸多次踏上肯尼亞這片充滿活力的土地，親眼見證了這個國家所發(fā)生的翻天覆地的變化與取得的輝煌成就。能夠參與其中——哪怕只是微不足道的一部分——我都深感無比的喜悅與榮幸。開山公司能夠為此貢獻綿薄之力，我們同樣感到無比的自豪與驕傲。當然我們會繼續(xù)努力——我們必須精益求精，追求卓越。
In about 10 days I will go back home to United States to vote our next president, I wish, and hopefully, we will have a new president who will have the same vision and commitment as Your Excellency on the green and renewable energies and on the sustainable development.
大約10天后，我將回美國為美國大選投票。我衷心希望，新任美國總統(tǒng)能與總統(tǒng)閣下志同道合，對綠色可再生能源、可持續(xù)發(fā)展有同樣堅定的承諾。
Thank you very much!
非常感謝！
