114 projects in major chemical provinces violated regulations!

Global Coatings Network News: Since 2018, 114 of the 206 newly built “two highs” projects in Shandong Province have violated regulations

In fact, in order to reverse the long-term surplus of China's low-end petrochemical capacity, as early as 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Petrochemical Industry Planning and Layout Plan", which made overall arrangements for China's petrochemical industry layout and set relevant indicators for new projects.

A number of interviewed experts told reporters that although China has clear planning and index requirements for the development of the petrochemical industry, there are still some illegal construction and expansion phenomena in the actual operation process, which has further aggravated the low-end overcapacity situation.

.

For example, the inspection team pointed out that the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology "does neither endeavor to control new illegal production capacity, nor does it make efforts to rectify existing illegal production capacity, and even proposes to replace production capacity reduction with production control, but it has not been effectively implemented
.
"

In this regard, Wang Min said: “The national industrial policy is to control the general direction, but there may be certain changes in the actual implementation and promotion process in various regions
.
The petrochemical industry has a large investment and a large output value, and local governments may be affected by the economy.
There is a need for growth and there is some impulse to invest
.
This situation is contrary to the development direction of large-scale refining and chemical integration, and needs to be gradually avoided and regulated
.
In the future, the industry will face increased pressure on environmental protection, energy consumption, and especially carbon emissions, which are forcing The mechanism may be more effective in regulating the development of the industry
.
"

The above-mentioned expert, who did not want to be named, also said: “The existence of these backward and illegal production capacity has affected the transformation and upgrading of the industry to a certain extent, and the process of high-quality development
.
Especially in the context of the carbon peak and carbon neutral target, the overall industry The fair and healthy development of China is undoubtedly a kind of harm
.
"

Urgent need for transformation and development

Fu Xiangsheng, vice chairman of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, once pointed out at the meeting that the petrochemical industry must implement the key tasks specified in the State Council’s "Carbon Peaking Action Plan by 2030" and the key implementation of the "Top Ten Carbon Peaking Actions".
In particular, focus on organizing and implementing the "Industrial Carbon Peak Action", optimizing the production capacity and layout of the petrochemical and chemical industry, intensifying the elimination of backward production capacity, and effectively resolving the contradiction of structural surplus
.

Fu Xiangsheng said: "The challenges facing China's energy transition are daunting, especially after the carbon peak and carbon neutral strategic goals are determined, the energy transition will become more urgent
.
The innovation and development of new energy cannot be separated from new chemical materials and functional chemicals.
, Such as high-performance carbon fiber composite materials for wind power, high-end epoxy resin, etc.
, high-end membrane materials for photovoltaic power generation, high-purity polysilicon and sealing and insulating materials, as well as energy storage technologies and materials that currently have a relatively large gap.
It is the key to the transformation of the petrochemical industry and the innovation and development of new energy in the future
