How to Transform Refining and Chemical Enterprises under "Double Carbon"——Song Yanping, Deputy Director of Refining and Chemical Institute of China Petroleum Planning Institute

In the past two years, large private refining and chemical enterprises have aimed at downstream new materials and new energy fields, and tried to transform and upgrade by investing in new projects
.
Under the "dual carbon" goal, what is the significance of the transformation of private refining and chemical industry for itself and the development of the industry? How to balance "emission reduction" in the process of development? In this regard, Song Yanping, deputy director of the Refining and Chemical Institute of the China Petroleum Planning Institute, recently talked about several views

Private large refining and chemical enterprises are developing in the direction of downstream new materials
.
In response to this phenomenon, Song Yanping said that this trend can indeed be seen as a new round of transformation in the private refining and chemical industry

This transformation is the active turn of private large refining and chemical enterprises
.
Song Yanping analyzed that this kind of active shift has positive significance for meeting the demand for domestic petrochemical products and promoting the high-end development of the petrochemical industry

The refining and chemical industry is a key energy consumption industry, and the task of emission reduction is also very heavy.
The issue of balancing "development" and "emission reduction" cannot be ignored
.
In this regard, Song Yanping pointed out that China is still a developing country, and its carbon emissions per unit of GDP are much higher than developed countries and the world average

According to the established national goal, by 2035, the total economic volume or per capita income will be doubled.
This requires new increments in all regions and industries to support and guarantee, and cannot only emphasize energy consumption control and carbon emission control
.
The petrochemical industry can develop differently according to the attributes and categories of products

　　In addition, it is necessary to take a long-term view while basing itself on the present, grasp the rhythm and intensity of carbon reduction, and make gradual and continuous efforts in order to solve the problems of short-term and long-term goals
.
The refining and chemical industry should formulate phased strategic goals, because with the continuous improvement of green and low-carbon awareness and the continuous development of related technologies, people's understanding of green transformation will also be constantly adjusted and improved

　　Song Yanping further explained that the "short-term goal" of the refining and chemical industry means that refining and chemical enterprises should focus on transformation and upgrading from the perspective of industrial structure adjustment, energy saving and consumption reduction in the near future
.
Refining and chemical enterprises can use advanced technology and new-generation information technology to transform and upgrade existing equipment, such as process enhancement technology, energy system construction technology, reduce energy consumption, material consumption, reduce production costs, and develop advanced petrochemical production capacity

　　The "long-term goal" means that in the long run, refining and chemical enterprises should rapidly increase the scale development of biomass energy, new energy and new businesses, and the hydrogen energy industry chain, accelerate the process of deep decarbonization, realize green and low-carbon transformation, and build a Supply pattern of energy products with coexistence of oil, electricity, hydrogen and biomass
.

　　The transformation of energy-intensive industries is inseparable from the support of national policies and the guidance of industry associations
