Held in April 12th 2016 the petrochemical industry development conference, Chinese petroleum and Chemical Industry Association released “petroleum and chemical industry” 13th Five-Year “development guide” (referred to as the “guide”). “13th Five-Year” period, the average annual growth rate of the industry will be transformed into single digits, great progress has been made in adjusting the structure, new chemical materials and other strategic emerging industries accounted for significantly improved than the.

The primary task of adjusting structure

“13th Five-Year” period, the average annual growth rate of the petrochemical industry will be nearly 40 years of transformation of two digit growth in single digit growth, industry challenges and opportunities. Although the petrochemical industry “13th Five-Year” plan has not yet been officially released, because industry association is often the main compilation of 13th Five-Year “plan,” has important reference guide “issued on the development of the industry.

Petrochemical Industry Association President Li Shousheng said, “13th Five-Year” period, the development of the industry thinking includes four aspects, optimize the structure, growth. To adhere to the “structural adjustment” and “steady growth” as the “two major tasks for 13th Five-Year” during the development of the industry; to achieve innovation driven, green development. Adhere to the innovation driven and green development as the “13th Five-Year” during the two industry development strategy; optimize the stock, making incremental. Adhere to the traditional industries and the development of strategic emerging industries as the two main direction of ascension; to deepen reform, promote open. Adhere to the deepening of reform and opening up as the two important to promote and support the development of the industry.

Petrochemical Industry Association vice president Li Runsheng said, “13th Five-Year” period, the industry will strive to achieve six major development goals. The total economic steady growth, the industry’s main business income of the average annual growth of around 7%, in 2020 reached 18 trillion and 400 billion yuan; great progress has been made in adjusting the structure, new chemical materials and other strategic emerging industries accounted for significantly improved products, fine rate is greatly improved; the green development pattern formed, yuan added value of energy consumption and pollutant emissions the amount decreased significantly, major production safety accidents have been effectively curbed. In addition, the ability to significantly enhance innovation, brand quality steadily improved, significantly enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.

Strict control of excess capacity

According to the “guide”, strict control of excess production capacity, promote the industry upgrading become the main idea of the development of industry during the period of 13th Five-Year “.

In the oil and gas fields, will adhere to the conventional and unconventional development, achieve long-term stable peace domestic crude oil and natural gas production capacity of the steady supply of natural gas, and strive to 2020 accounted for the domestic primary energy consumption close to or up to 9%; the key technology breakthrough in exploration and development, effectively reduce production costs; and further improve the natural gas industry policy and the price mechanism.

The infrastructure construction, will steadily push forward the crude oil and refined oil pipeline construction, and vigorously promote the capacity of the national strategic oil reserve construction; to speed up the construction of natural gas pipeline network and multi level reserves of natural gas peak shaving system, the formation of the national backbone network. “13th Five-Year” at the end, completed a total of total length of crude oil, refined oil pipeline is 65 thousand kilometers, the total mileage of natural gas pipeline to 107 thousand station 21 km; new and expanded LNG reception, 2020 receiving capacity reached 85 million tons / year or above.

In the petrochemical industry, focus on the optimization of industrial layout and structure of raw materials, to promote the development of high-end products and other aspects of a breakthrough; but strictly limit new refining capacity growth in 2020 will strive to domestic refining capacity at 8.5 tons.

Based on the field of chemical industry, focus mainly involves four aspects, including the strict control of nitrogen and phosphorus and other traditional industry overcapacity, explore the establishment of long-term mechanism of backward production capacity out; vigorously implement the technological upgrading, promote the development of basic chemical products from industrial grade to electronic grade, pharmaceutical grade and food grade; strengthening the application of traditional research products, expand the application areas of traditional products; promote agricultural products and agricultural service upgrade. Chemical fertilizer enterprises from production to production of elemental fertilizer mixed fertilizers changed, pesticide enterprises to accelerate the development of green pesticide toxicity of new varieties and new dosage form products, change agricultural enterprise by the production enterprise to the production of the service enterprises, multi business model development.

The key breakthrough of new materials

The structural surplus is the main problem facing the petrochemical industry. In conventional varieties, severe overcapacity behind, a considerable part of the new chemical materials products rely heavily on imports, some products are still in the blank. The “guide” of new chemical materials, modern coal chemical and biological chemical industry are put forward development goals clear breakthrough.

In the field of new chemical materials, accelerate the industrialization process of blank products. Push PC (polycarbonate), PEEN (polyether ether nitrile) such as research and development of engineering plastics and metallocene polyethylene, polypropylene and other high-end metallocene polyolefin resin and phenyl silicone monomer, rubber and halogenated Ding Ji, actively develop new heat has the special properties of hydrogenated nitrile butadiene thermoplastic elastomer. To reduce the cost, improve the quality of products, the key breakthrough of domestic T300 level and T700 level of carbon fiber with low cost, stable production and scale production technology, improve POM, PET/PBT resin, PPS, nylon engineering plastics product quality. The supply of key raw materials supporting the upstream Bottleneck Breakthrough, to accelerate the development of adiponitrile, CHDM (1,4- cyclohexane two methanol) and other key supporting monomer and engineering plastic alloy, accelerate the development of cyclohexene -1 and octene -1 high carbon olefin comonomers, promote high performance polyolefin industry.

In addition, new chemical materials in new application areas is expected to accelerate, including promoting environmental protection polyurethane promotion in the field of building energy conservation; the development of high-end fluorine and silicon polymers, fluorinated functional membrane materials and chemicals; promote the application of silicone in many industries; at the same time with the rapid development of electronic chemicals, new energy battery supporting integrated circuit etc..

For modern coal chemical industry, will adhere to the efficient transformation of reasonable layout, the volume of water resources, to carry out clean, the key works of modern coal chemical industry and industrial upgrading demonstration. In the field of bio chemical industry, enhance the level of technology and economy, promote the large-scale commercial application of bio based chemicals and biofuels, bio based new materials, the development of biomedical materials; speeding up, meet the increasing market demand. Strive to “13th Five-Year” at the end of biomass fuel ethanol production reached 5 million tons, 2 million tons of biodiesel production capacity.
