At the national meeting on energy conservation and emission reduction in the petroleum and chemical industry held in Beijing on August 5th, Zhang Yu, Chairman of the China Calcium Carbide Industry Association and chairman of Inner Mongolia Baiyanhu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., attended the 190 petrochemical enterprises attended. The Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Proposal issued to the whole industry calls for the industry to take active actions to jointly undertake the important tasks of energy conservation and environmental protection, and contribute to the creation of green homes and the sound and rapid development of the economy, society and industry.
The proposal stated that achieving the “Twelfth Five-Year†energy-saving and emission-reduction goals is a social responsibility that every petrochemical company must shoulder. It is an unshirkable responsibility of every petrochemical cadre and employee to contribute to energy-saving and emission-reduction.
The proposal includes six aspects: The first is to increase resource conservation and environmental awareness. Cultivate a resource-conserving and environment-friendly corporate culture, promote the concept of civilized conservation and clean production, and establish and improve a corporate system that promotes conservation and protection of the environment. The second is to take the lead in promoting the use of new technologies, new processes, new equipment, and new materials to save resources, reduce consumption, and increase efficiency. The third is to resolutely eliminate backward production capacity and change the mode of development. Based on energy efficiency and pollutant emission targets, shut down backward devices and eliminate outdated equipment. We will optimize product structure, vigorously develop products with high technological content and high added value, strive to extend the industrial value chain, and increase the proportion of fine chemicals and specialty chemicals. The fourth is to actively promote cleaner production and vigorously develop circular economy. Efforts shall be made to improve the utilization of energy and resources, reduce the generation and emission of pollutants in accordance with the principles of “reduction, reuse, and recyclingâ€, and obtain the largest economy with the least possible resource consumption and the least possible environmental cost. output. The fifth is to comprehensively promote the implementation of responsible care. Responsible care is taken as the main means of fulfilling social responsibilities and is implemented in the company's overall development plan and objectives. It runs through the entire process of production, management, R&D, sales, service, and other production and business activities, providing high-quality products to the market, and improving employee satisfaction. Health and safety level, establish a good image of the company to implement the scientific concept of development, enhance the company's influence at home and abroad. Sixth, innovative energy-saving emission reduction mechanism. Actively cooperate with the government departments, establish the "energy efficiency leader" system of major energy-consuming equipment and energy-using products, continue to practice energy-saving voluntary agreements, and actively carry out energy efficiency and pollutant emission intensity benchmarking.
Petrochemical, Sinopec, CNOOC, China National Chemical Industry Corporation, Shenhua Group, and Sinochem have all stated that large-scale petrochemical enterprises have stated that energy saving and emission reduction is not only a requirement of the country, but also the survival and development needs of the enterprise itself.
According to another report, the "12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Guidance for the Petroleum and Chemical Industry (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)" is soliciting opinions from the industry and enterprises. After revision and improvement, it is reported to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
