China Nitrogen Association interprets the "Implementation Guidelines for Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading of Synthetic Ammonia Industry"

On April 21, the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association issued an interpretation of the "Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading of Synthetic Ammonia Industry" to the whole industry, instructing the industry to further do a good job in energy saving and carbon reduction transformation and upgrading

Gu Zongqin, chairman of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, pointed out that on February 3 this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments issued the "Notice on Issuing the "Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading in Key Areas of High Energy-consuming Industries (2022 Edition)".

According to reports, "nitrogen fertilizer", the main downstream product of synthetic ammonia, is the grain of food and an important agricultural material for people's livelihood

Strengthen the development and demonstration of cutting-edge technologies and lead the low-carbon development of the industry

The "Guide" proposes to strengthen the development and application of cutting-edge leading technologies, and cultivate benchmarking and demonstration enterprises

Accelerate the promotion of mature technologies and promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry

Gu Zongqin pointed out that the energy saving and carbon reduction of the synthetic ammonia industry not only includes the energy saving and carbon reduction of the production process, but also the energy saving and carbon reduction of auxiliary and auxiliary production systems, such as heating boilers, power supply, water supply,

Process energy saving

And through 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, etc.

　　Energy saving of major equipment

　　Use of waste heat and pressure

　　Reduce "three wastes" emissions

　　Renovation of public and auxiliary facilities

　　Strict industrial policy constraints and eliminate backward and inefficient production capacity

　　Energy saving and carbon reduction work goals

　　According to the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission's "Energy Efficiency Benchmark Level and Benchmark Level in Key Fields of High Energy-consuming Industries (2022 Edition)", the benchmark level of comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of high-quality anthracite-based synthetic ammonia is 1100 (kg standard coal/ton), and the benchmark level is 1350 (kg standard coal/ton).

　　The "Guide" proposes that by 2025, the proportion of production capacity above the energy efficiency benchmark level in the synthetic ammonia industry will reach 15%, and the production capacity below the energy efficiency benchmark level will be basically cleared

　　Determination of benchmark level values

　　Determination of baseline level values
.
Refer to the access value and limit value determined by the current "Energy Consumption Limit per Unit of Synthetic Ammonia Product" (GB21344-2015) and the access value and limit value proposed in the "Energy Consumption Limit per Unit Product of Synthetic Ammonia" (2021 Revised Draft) , and based on the actual situation of the industry, development expectations, the overall energy efficiency level of the production plant, etc.
, the overall consideration and delineation of the energy efficiency benchmark level of the synthetic ammonia industry
.
By the end of 2020, about 19% of the production capacity in China's synthetic ammonia industry with energy efficiency lower than the benchmark level
.

　　Regarding the transformation and upgrading of the synthetic ammonia plant from lignite raw materials
.
The moisture content of lignite raw material is higher, and the comprehensive energy consumption of production is higher than that of other coal types
.
Due to the fact that there are few enterprises using this raw material and there is a lack of sufficient samples, the formulation of the energy efficiency benchmark and benchmark level value does not include lignite
.
Therefore, for the energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of equipment using lignite as raw material, the “benchmark level” and “benchmark level” for using pulverized coal as raw material can be appropriately relaxed according to the actual situation of raw material quality, and the focus should be on the energy saving of relevant processes or equipment.
