Accelerate breakthroughs in key new green chemical technologies and promote the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry

The petrochemical industry is an important pillar of the national economy and is related to the safety and stability of China's industrial chain, green and low-carbon development, and the improvement of people's livelihood and well-being.

Green and low-carbon is an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of China's petrochemical industry. It is necessary to vigorously promote the effective implementation of key technological breakthroughs and scientific and technological achievements of new green chemicals, and promote the green, ecological and high-quality development of the petrochemical industry.

The petrochemical industry is an important pillar of the national economy and is related to the safety and stability of China's industrial chain, green and low-carbon development, and the improvement of people's livelihood and well-being.When New China was established, our country's petrochemical industry was basically blank. The process from starting from scratch to achieving scientific and technological self-reliance was a process full of challenges and opportunities, continuous innovation and breakthroughs.For more than 70 years, through the introduction of digestion and absorption, independent innovation and research and development, and collaborative innovation in the industrial chain, China's petrochemical industry has been continuously upgraded iteratively, and has achieved remarkable achievements in terms of technical level, product quality and industrial competitiveness, which have provided strong support for the country's economic and social development.

As one of the leading enterprises in China's petrochemical industry, Sinopec bravely assumes the responsibility of the central enterprise, continuously promotes scientific and technological innovation, continuously breaks through the main technology of petrochemical industry, and has achieved a large number of major scientific theories and engineering scientific and technological achievements. Overcome a large number of “stuck neck” technologies, independently implement a large number of domestic first-time industrial transformations, fill a large number of domestic gaps, and help our country achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.Relying on independent intellectual property technology to design and build a million-ton ethylene plant, the complete set of aromatics technology is generally at the world's leading level. It has successfully developed complete sets of synthetic materials such as gas-liquid polyethylene and third-generation ring pipe polypropylene, as well as complete sets of organic chemical technologies such as isopropylbenzene and acrylonitrile to form a competitive advantage and win strategic initiative.

Green and low-carbon is an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of China's petrochemical industry

In the context of the “double carbon” goal, China's petrochemical industry is facing severe pressure on energy resources, and it is necessary to accelerate green technological innovation and make greater strides in energy conservation, pollution reduction and carbon reduction.Accelerating the research on the technology of direct cracking of crude oil to olefins, the technology of direct conversion of syngas to olefins, the green process technology of epichlorohydrin, the third-generation solar cell material technology, and carbon capture and utilization technology has become an inherent requirement for the sustainable development of our country.

Green chemistry is an effective way for the chemical industry to achieve sustainable development. Its connotations include the greening of raw materials, the greening of catalysts, the greening of reaction engineering, the greening of energy, the greening of products and the utilization of resources.
