Daya Bay rises as a world-class green petrochemical industry highland

The shore of the South China Sea, the shore
of Daya Bay.
From the top floor of the office building of China Overseas Shell Petrochemical Co.
, Ltd.
, you can see the huge storage tanks and crisscrossing pipe corridors
.
Farther away, 10,000-ton tankers slowly sailed into the harbor.
.
.
In the Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, industrial workers are busy and the project construction is carried out efficiently
.
With the completion and commissioning of major projects, a world-class green petrochemical industry highland has gradually taken shape
.
By 2021, Huizhou Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone has ranked first
in the "Top 30 Chemical Parks in China" for three consecutive years.

From the first Sino-Overseas Shell Nanhai Petrochemical Project here in 2002 to the settlement of a number of industry giants, today, Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone has realized the "troika" of state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises and private enterprises going hand in hand, and has grown into one of the seven major petrochemical industry bases built by the state and the first batch of green manufacturing system construction demonstration green parks
.

At present, the petrochemical area of the development zone has achieved a production capacity of 22 million tons / year of oil refining and 2.
2 million tons of ethylene / year, and the scale of refining and chemical integration ranks the forefront in the country; It has settled in 104 projects with a total investment of 250.
2 billion yuan; There are 13 Fortune Global 500 companies in the park, with 47 investment projects
.

Tang Fengling, director of public affairs of China Overseas Shell Petrochemical Co.
, Ltd.
, said that at present, the third phase of the China Overseas Shell project is progressing smoothly, and 1.
6 million tons of ethylene and a total of 18 sets of chemical plants and public works downstream will be built
.
After completion, the overall ethylene production capacity of China Overseas Shell can be increased to 3.
8 million tons/year
.

The large project supports the solid foundation
of the high-quality economic development of Daya Bay.
In 2021, Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone achieved an output value of 185.
9 billion yuan, an increase of 38.
3%.

In November last year, the 12th Party Congress of Huizhou City entrusted Daya Bay with the mission
of "building a world-class green petrochemical industry highland".
According to the plan, Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone adheres to the industrial development path of "one core, three clusters", that is, to develop and expand the core of large oil refining and ethylene, and accelerate the development of petrochemical middle and lower reaches of the deep processing industry cluster, high-end chemicals and chemical new materials industry cluster, and petrochemical industry supporting productive service industry cluster
.

At present, the relevance of the circular economy industrial chain in Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone is as high as 95%.

For example, in the industrial chain, CNOOC Huizhou Petrochemical supplies carbon dioxide to Huizhou Huadatong Gas Manufacturing Co.
, Ltd.
, while China Overseas Shell's ethylene oxide and Huadatong's carbon dioxide produce carbonate, and Huizhou Chubang Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
uses carbonate to produce lithium battery electrolyte for battery manufacturers
.

The continuous expansion of the petrochemical industry has also brought greater challenges to the
environment.
But in this booming petrochemical industrial city, the air is fresh, green water and blue sky can be seen
everywhere.

Daya Bay Area has been awarded an excellent grade in the environmental responsibility assessment of Huizhou City for 13 consecutive years
.
In order to strengthen the governance of industrial sources, the district has completed the comprehensive improvement of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) one enterprise and one policy, the hierarchical evaluation of 29 key enterprises, 3 deepening governance, 31 activated carbon replacement inspections, and 36 inefficient treatment enterprise inspections
.
On this basis, we will continue to promote the hierarchical management of the second batch of 17 VOCs enterprises in the region, the in-depth governance of 8 key VOCs enterprises, supervise 21 key enterprises in the petrochemical and chemical industries to complete leakage detection and repair work as required, and special rectification of oil and gas recovery in 7 gas stations and 7 oil storage depots, and comprehensively improve the level of
VOCs rectification.

At the same time, Daya Bay also spent 140 million yuan to build a mangrove national urban wetland park in the central area, covering an area of about 1.
11 million square meters
.
This is a typical ecological restoration, functional composite urban wetland park, which not only creates good conditions for the restoration of species diversity, but also means that this world-class petrochemical area is livable and workable
.
"Egrets and seabirds can often be seen in the park, and the environment is very good
.
" Huizhou citizen Chen Xiaoyan said
.

In the first half of this year, Daya Bay achieved an industrial added value of 33.
61 billion yuan, an increase of 16%.

Among them, the petrochemical industry achieved an added value of 21.
67 billion yuan, an increase of 25.
1%.

According to the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Huizhou", by 2025, Huizhou Daya Bay will initially build a world-class green petrochemical industry highland
