汤炎博士在肯尼亚Menengai Ⅲ地热发电站开工典礼暨绿氨项目备忘录签字仪式上的演讲稿全文
Your Excellency President William Ruto, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
尊敬的威廉·鲁托总统阁下、各位贵宾、女士们、先生们，
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，我们怀着无比的自豪与激动的心情齐聚一堂，共同庆祝Menengai三号电站的开工仪式。这标志着我们公司在肯尼亚地热开发领域迈出的又一坚实步伐，铸造了另一座重要里程碑。总统阁下，您卓越的领导力和对可持续发展的坚定承诺，无疑为这一重要时刻铺平了道路。
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.
开山集团是全球领先的压缩机、膨胀机、模块电站等综合性制造商，我们的制造基地分布在亚洲、美洲和欧洲，产品销往全球90多个国家和地区。
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.
我们与总统阁下及贵国政府共享绿色和可再生能源的愿景。正是基于这份信念，我们开发了模块化地热发电站。这些由开山膨胀机驱动的模块电站，彻底改变了地热行业——它们具有高效、高可用性、高性价比、快速交付和安装的优势，且可灵活配置成多种高效循环。在贵国，我们的第一个里程碑是Menengai I地热电站。其要求的保证净输出功率为33.25 MW，而电站目前的实际净输出约为38.4MW，运行效率超过100%。此外，我们的模块电站不需要消耗蒸汽来引射不凝性气体，这使得GDC能够利用节省下来的超过30吨/小时的蒸汽，或者超过发电厂实际蒸汽消耗量的10%的蒸汽，生产更多电力。
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三号电厂将是我们在肯尼亚的第二个里程碑。该项目将在14个月内全面竣工、并网发电。这就是开山速度和开山效率，也将继续彰显开山模块化地热电站技术的优势。
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.
我们深知，前进的道路永无止境。作为全球氢气和工艺气体压缩机领域的领航者，我们非常认同总统阁下的提出的绿色工业化和可再生能源愿景，并坚定地参与总统阁下倡导的非洲绿色工业化进程，我们更是荣幸能有机会建设非洲的第一个绿色化肥厂。开山不仅将安装更多的地热模块电站，还将利用地热电力生产绿氢，并由绿氢中生产绿氨。绿氨不仅有助于推动肯尼亚农业发展，还可以用作燃料替代柴油、减少二氧化碳排放，响应肯尼亚的净零排放倡议。在总统阁下的鼎力支持下，开山承诺将在开工令后 24 个月内生产出肯尼亚第一公斤的绿色化肥。我们深知此非易事，也绝对少不了总统阁下您和您团队的全力支持。有了您坚定不移的承诺和支持，我们双方团队将共同完成这一伟大项目，打造非洲绿色工业化的新地标。
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.
开山将与肯尼亚政府、肯尼亚国内合作伙伴和当地社区密切合作，共同推进该项目以及未来的所有项目的顺利开展。我们不仅要追求绿色电力、绿氢和绿氨等绿色可再生能源，还要创造更多就业机会，为当地社区带来更多切实的经济效益。
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，当我在英国攻读博士学位时，我的一个室友来自肯尼亚。这是我第一次有机会了解肯尼亚，了解这一美丽的国家以及伟大的人民。自2017年以来，我有幸多次踏上肯尼亚这片充满活力的土地，亲眼见证了这个国家所发生的翻天覆地的变化与取得的辉煌成就。能够参与其中——哪怕只是微不足道的一部分——我都深感无比的喜悦与荣幸。开山公司能够为此贡献绵薄之力，我们同样感到无比的自豪与骄傲。当然我们会继续努力——我们必须精益求精，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.
大约10天后，我将回美国为美国大选投票。我衷心希望，新任美国总统能与总统阁下志同道合，对绿色可再生能源、可持续发展有同样坚定的承诺。
Thank you very much!
非常感谢！
