    Ten years is a dimension that transcends history; Ten years is a journey
    of forging ahead.

    Along the way, PetroChina has continuously accelerated the pace of green and low-carbon development, incorporated green and low-carbon into the company's development strategy, integrated the concept of green development into the oil action to ensure national energy security, and unswervingly promoted the green and low-carbon transformation, so that the road of "carbon reduction, carbon use, carbon replacement, and carbon buried" will become wider and smoother
    .

    Ten years of "green" and ten years of leapfrog development
    .
    Under the trend of green transformation of the energy industry, we are getting closer and closer
    to the "green dream".
    Through the trajectory of green development, let us further strengthen the determination of "carbon" cable and welcome the "new" landscape
    .

    From 42.
    6% to 51.
    4% The "majestic" green curve is eye-catching

    Natural gas, one of the main energy sources in China's modern clean energy system, is known as the "best companion"
    of new energy.

    Anchoring the development of the natural gas industry, PetroChina continued to promote stable oil and gas increase, and the development of natural gas business showed a "majestic" upward curve
    .
    Behind this trend, there are both quantitative surprises and qualitative leaps
    .
    Through the two dimensions of production and transformation, this route trajectory is very clear
    .

    In China, PetroChina has built four major gas production areas in Changqing, Southwest, Tarim and Qinghai, and domestic natural gas production has exceeded 100 billion cubic meters for five consecutive years, playing an impassioned "song of contention"
    .
    In the first half of this year, the main gas source of the west-east gas transmission added "confidence", and the carat 2 gas field bloomed the sixth "ten billion square golden flower"; The southwest oil and gas field has achieved an annual gas production of more than 10 billion cubic meters in five years, and has accelerated its transformation and upgrading
    .

    The solid resource base strengthens the confidence to
    ensure supply.
    Based on China, connecting the four main gas production areas, looking at the world, and unblocking the four major oil and gas channels, PetroChina has built the largest natural gas supply enterprise in China, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, accounting for more than 60% of the country's total gas supply, up to now, the cumulative supply of natural gas is nearly 1.
    6 trillion cubic meters, which meets the support of various economic and social development industries and benefits more than 500 million people
    .

    In 2021, PetroChina sold more than 200 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which is equivalent to replacing 273 million tons of standard coal in terms of equivalent calorific value, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 274 million tons
    .

    While natural gas production and sales are increasing, the optimization and adjustment of oil and gas structure are also advancing
    with the times.
    In 2021, China's oil and gas production accounted for 51.
    4% of the oil and gas production structure, up from 42.
    6%
    in 2016.
    This is a further consolidation and improvement
    of its "half of the country" status since natural gas production equivalent exceeded crude oil for the first time in 2020.

    The rapid development of natural gas is constantly releasing "green" dividends
    .
    The proportion of China's oil-driven natural gas industry in China's primary energy structure jumped from 4.
    8% in 2012 to 9.
    1%
    in 2021.
    This means that natural gas will replace coal burning by 1.
    4 billion tons, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.
    5 billion tons, and reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 23.
    24 million tons, equivalent to planting 15 billion trees
    .

    The numbers on the paper one by one make people feel happy and at the same time more deeply realize that the "oil vein" is connected with the national vein, and the "oil transportation" is related to
    the national fortune.
    PetroChina is committed to meeting the society's demand for high-quality clean energy products and embarking on a path of green and low-carbon development that
    ensures stable supply and efficiency.

    From the perspective of contributing to the development of the national economy, China's domestic natural gas production in 2021 will be 137.
    8 billion cubic meters, accounting for 66.
    4%
    of the national total.
    The growth of output has further increased the proportion of clean energy in China's primary energy structure, provided reliable green energy guarantee for the world's second largest economy, and made "lucid waters and lush mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" full of confidence
    .

    From the perspective of seeking green and low-carbon transformation, PetroChina actively builds a "natural gas +" industrial cluster, researches and develops "natural gas hydrogen production + CCS + high-temperature fuel cell" zero-carbon technology, strives to explore multi-path realization solutions for the "dual carbon" goal, and gives full play to the key supporting role
    of natural gas in the future energy system.

    The energy supply camp has grown, and multi-energy complementarity has played a "new" triumphant song

    After ten years of green development, China's petroleum product family has continued to grow, and the industrial structure has become more and more reasonable
    .

    On the evening of February 4, 2022, the first "green hydrogen" torch in the history of the Winter Olympics was unveiled in the Zhangjiakou competition area of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and hydrogen energy officially became one of the protagonists of the green energy demonstration application of
    the Beijing Winter Olympics.
    Under the gaze of the world, PetroChina has become a trendsetter
    in the era of green and low-carbon transformation.

    Over the past decade, anchoring the goal of green and low-carbon transformation, PetroChina has taken firm steps
    from top to bottom.

    From new strategies to new deployments, to new deployments to promote new patterns
    .
    The PetroChina New Energy New Materials and New Business Development Leading Group has held several special meetings to study, formulate and promote the implementation of the "1+8" special plan for new energy and new business and the green and low-carbon action plan, put forward the timetable and roadmap for PetroChina's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, clarify the three-step overall deployment of "clean substitution, strategic succession and green transformation", and promote the green industrial layout
    with "six major bases" and "five major projects" as the core.

    The layer-by-layer design has been implemented on the front line, and a new model, new mechanism and new technology for new
    energy development have gradually formed.

    The 200,000-kilowatt photovoltaic grid-connected power generation project in East Town of Yumen Oilfield completed the project approval and grid connection in a short period of time, forming a "Yumen model" that coordinates and efficiently promotes the green and low-carbon transformation and development of the old oilfield.
    Jilin Oilfield actively lays out green and low-carbon industries and technologies, and promotes the integrated development of
    wind, light and geothermal energy.

    At the same time, PetroChina has given full play to its advantages in natural gas resources, markets and locations, actively carried out joint ventures and cooperation with central power enterprises and leading enterprises in the industry, and built offshore wind power sports and distribution consortiums, "Shago Wilderness" declaration consortiums and "Belt and Road" green energy development
    consortiums according to local conditions.

    The development of new energy has brought vitality to PetroChina
    .
    Oil and gas are integrating with the development of new energy, energy conservation and consumption reduction are being driven by clean substitution, and resources and markets are making concerted efforts
    .

    In 2021, PetroChina added 3.
    45 million tons of standard coal for the development and utilization of new energy, with a total capacity of nearly 7 million tons of standard coal, a record high.
    9.
    6 million square meters of new geothermal clean heating area; The construction of "six major bases and five major projects" of new energy has been comprehensively accelerated, and more points have blossomed.
    .
    .

    From "I offer oil to the motherland" to "I contribute energy to the motherland", PetroChina is accelerating its transformation into a comprehensive international energy company of "oil and gas thermoelectric hydrogen" while stabilizing oil and gas, and on the basis of stabilizing the "energy rice bowl", it will further hold it firmly and well, and strive to become the "main force"
    to protect the beautiful China.

    Coordinating "Development" and "Carbon Reduction" A "green" picture of moving mountains and rivers is slowly unfolding

    In the context of "dual carbon", how to deal with the relationship between "development" and "carbon reduction" is an unavoidable problem
    for enterprises in the process of green and low-carbon transformation.
    What seems to be a balance between economic development and environmental protection is actually a contest between long-term interests and immediate interests, and a game
    between the overall and local areas.

    Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain
    .
    Faced with this must-answer question, PetroChina firmly gave the answer: focus on promoting green development and be the "main force" in promoting energy transformation and achieving the "dual carbon"
    goal.

    In the beautiful gas field of Xinjiang in the middle of winter, the fox has become a loyal "friend" of the station keeper in the frost and snow winter; On the shore of Chagan Lake in early summer, the No.
    1 and No.
    16 platforms of Xinli Oil Production Plant in Jilin Oilfield and flocks of flying birds together form a unique scenery of "Shengshui Lake"; On the high slopes of the loess in the late spring, the employees of Changqing Oilfield Gas Production Plant No.
    6 planted trees in the gas area, and the once desolate well site is now full of green forests
    .

    PetroChina has always adhered to the principle of "development in protection, protection in development, and environmental protection first", promoted the cleanliness of the entire production process, accelerated the construction of green mines, strengthened ecological environmental protection, and embarked on a clean, low-carbon, safe and environmentally friendly innovation road
    .

    At the same time, in the face of the dual constraints of resource shortage and environmental protection, PetroChina closely integrates its main business and constantly explores new paths
    for green development of enterprises.

    On the basis of accelerating the completion of "oil reduction and enhancement" and "oil reduction and special increase", Jinxi Petrochemical Company pays attention to structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, takes catalytic cracking as the core technical link, and comprehensively promotes the realization of "oil conversion" and new energy development.
    Sichuan sales company adopts effective measures such as oil and gas recycling and reuse, construction of new foam environmentally friendly toilets, and strengthening the treatment of "three wastes" to build a "plateau ecological and environmental protection gas station".
    .
    .

    On November 11, 2020, PetroChina's first carbon neutral forest project settled in Ma'anshan area, under the jurisdiction of Daqing Oilfield Ecological Environment Management and Protection Company, and the Tianjin Carbon Emission Exchange issued a carbon neutrality certificate for Daqing Oilfield
    .
    This is a microcosm
    of PetroChina's active participation in land greening and vigorous afforestation and biodiversity conservation.
    In 2021, PetroChina added 13.
    4 million square meters
    of green space.
    414,000 people participated in voluntary tree planting, and 1,994,500 trees and shrubs were planted
    .

    While "strengthening the body" internally, PetroChina continues to deepen foreign cooperation, and through cooperation and exchanges, it condenses a broader consensus that green and low-carbon is the trend
    of the times.

    Since joining the Oil & Gas Industry Climate Initiative (OGCI) in 2015, PetroChina has continuously expanded its "circle of friends" for energy cooperation and committed to a series of "carbon reduction" green actions
    .

    In recent years, PetroChina has become one of the 10 enterprise groups that have obtained the "National Carbon Market First Day Trading Group Certificate".
    It has been awarded the "China Low Carbon Model" for 11 consecutive times, becoming the energy central enterprise with the largest number of such awards; Won the title of "2021 Carbon Neutrality Model Enterprise".
    .
    .

    One honor after another bears witness to PetroChina's outstanding contributions
    to green and low-carbon development.
    PetroChina is striding towards a green and low-carbon road!
