China Drying Network News In 2011, the total industrial output value of oil and chemical enterprises above designated size in Zhejiang Province was approximately RMB 708.4 billion, ranking fifth in the country. In the year, statistical data released by the Statistics Bureau of Zhejiang Province showed that industrial enterprises above designated size in the province The total output value is about 537.1 billion yuan. It can be seen that the oil and chemical industry plays an important role. Such achievements and the Zhejiang government’s entry into the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†have listed the support of the development of the real economy as a top priority of the government’s economic work. This is also the case for Zhejiang Lingang Petrochemical Industry and chemical new materials industry. Bring new opportunities for development, it is becoming a new force to lead the local economic development.
As one of the provinces with the most developed market economy in China, Zhejiang's manufacturing industry has always been at the forefront of the country. By 2003, Zhejiang's light textile industry processing capacity accounted for 30% of the country's total, plastic products processing capacity accounted for 20% of the country's, fine chemicals such as medicine, dyes, pigments, pesticides, textile auxiliaries have also formed a larger scale , has been at the leading level in the country. However, in the past, the development of Zhejiang's petrochemical industry also experienced a long period of "nausea" from chaos to cure.
The petrochemical industry in Zhejiang Province started in the 1950s and 1960s and developed rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s. After the reform and opening up, there was a “chemical fever†in the local area. Nearly every town and township has experience in setting up chemical companies. Local governments encourage this, and the industry is basically in a state of free development. After entering the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period, the long-term extensive growth brought about sequelae: the massive discharge of pollutants has led to a deterioration of the residents' living environment; the contradiction between the shortage of energy supply has intensified; the security issue has caused public anxiety and so on.
In response to the outstanding problems exposed by the chemical industry, the Zhejiang government finally adopted a multi-pronged, step-by-step strategy: On the one hand, it started with the formulation of strict energy-saving and emission-reduction policies, leveraging policy levers, and forming an overwhelming mechanism for the industry. Administrative measures will force the elimination of outdated production capacity and urge enterprises to increase their investment in environmental protection and energy conservation. On the other hand, they will accelerate the pace of planning and construction of petrochemical specialty parks, encourage excellent enterprises to enter the park, accelerate the relocation of chemical companies in urban areas, and optimize the industrial layout.
In 2004, Zhejiang Province set off a “811 environmental protection storm†that lasted for three years. During this rectification, thousands of chemical companies were ordered to shut down because of environmental protection, and a large number of companies were required to suspend production for rectification. Some enterprises are forced to move outside due to environmental pressure, and approvals for new (expanded) projects in chemical industries are strictly limited. In 2005, the Zhejiang Provincial Government also proposed that the overall energy consumption of the province's GDP during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period will be 20% lower than at the end of the “Tenth Five-Year Plan†period. At that time, as a high-energy-consuming industry, the petroleum and chemical industry was once again inevitably the target of energy-saving assessments by local government departments. The double-edged sword from environmental protection and energy conservation has formed a severe force-reversing mechanism from the periphery, forcing Zhejiang Petrochemical and chemical companies to start acting and seeking an effective way to save energy and reduce emissions, and become the “leader†in energy conservation and emission reduction.
In 2009, the energy saving and emission reduction report issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Government showed that the total consumption of petroleum and chemical energy in the country accounted for 25% of the total industrial energy consumption in the country, while Zhejiang accounted for only 11.7% of the total industrial consumption in the province. While reducing energy consumption, Zhejiang’s ecological environment has also been further improved. Energy-saving equipment and technologies and green chemical technologies have been widely used. Through rectification, the sharp contradiction between the excessive development of the industry and the shortage of supply of essential resources has been effectively eased.
Another culprit that has caused extensive growth to the petrochemical industry in Zhejiang is the irrational industrial structure: the chemical fiber, polyester, and traditional fine chemical industries at the end of the industrial chain are well developed, and the downstream industry needs a lot of basic petrochemicals. Raw materials mainly rely on imports or purchases from other provinces and cities to solve. This extremely unbalanced industrial structure became a bottleneck restricting the development of Zhejiang's petrochemical industry.
After entering the “Tenth Five-Year Planâ€, under the guidance of local governments, Zhejiang Province began to lay out Lingang Petrochemical Industry, mainly producing basic petrochemical materials, making it possible for the industrial chain to extend upstream and break through the supply bottlenecks. Ningbo, Jiaxing and Zhoushan have taken the lead in the coastal areas with port advantages. On the one hand, they have accelerated the pace of planning and construction of specialized petrochemical parks. On the other hand, they have actively engaged in foreign investment promotion and sought for outstanding Lingang Petrochemical projects.
Relying on the unique port resources and developed market economy environment, during the “10th Five-Year Plan†and “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period, a large number of Sino-foreign Lingang petrochemical projects with large investment scale, high technical level, and strong industry drive have come to coastal areas of Zhejiang. The settlement has provided strong support for the rapid rise of Lingang Petrochemical Industry.
Among the Lingang Petrochemical projects introduced in Ningbo, Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's total investment of RMB 23.5 billion in million tons of ethylene projects was the most noticeable. The project was officially approved by the state in early 2006. Construction was started in November of that year, and it was successfully completed and put into operation in December 2009. The successful implementation of the Zhenhai Refining & Chemicals ethylene project has a landmark significance for Zhejiang's petrochemical industry.
Looking into the future, the coordinated development strategy of the national Yangtze River Delta and the promotion of the construction of demonstration zones for marine economic development in Zhejiang Province have created a good opportunity for the development of Linang Petrochemical Industry; the government of Zhejiang Province attaches great importance to the development of the real economy and is a new chemical material and specialty chemical. The development of strategic emerging industries, such as new energy, provides a good policy environment. All kinds of signs show that in the future, the petrochemical industry in Zhejiang Province will usher in a new leap forward in the transformation and upgrading!
