Li Yongwu Analyzes the Key Tasks for the Implementation of the “Eleventh Five-Year” Energy-Saving Indicators in the Petrochemical Industry——Find out the Implementation Plan

Energy saving is now equivalent to the national policy. For the industry, we must first understand the energy consumption of the family, and then have a planning system. This was at the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Energy Conservation Symposium held on June 14th. Li Yongwu, president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, analyzed the industry's task of completing energy-saving indicators.

Li Yongwu said that the national “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” has two figures that are very important. One is the doubling of the per capita GDP, and the other is the reduction of energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20%. This is the goal set by the country and must be achieved. Energy saving is now equivalent to the national policy. To build a conservation-minded society, we cannot overemphasize the issue of energy conservation. He said that at the industry-recycling economy conference held in Guiyang in May this year, the association proposed that the energy consumption per million yuan of GDP at the end of the “11th Five-Year Plan” was 15% to 20% lower than that in 2005, and the water consumption per unit of industrial added value was reduced by 30%. Although this indicator is lower than the target set by the national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan," some people still find it difficult to achieve. Therefore, various industries and enterprises should raise awareness of energy conservation work. To understand energy consumption, we must have a plan, a system, a management-based approach, and seize the key to new energy-saving technologies. We must pool our collective wisdom and strive for an energy-saving policy environment.

It is understood that among the 1,008 industrial enterprises with comprehensive energy consumption of 180,000 tons of standard coal in 2004 listed by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Bureau of Statistics, there are 340 oil and chemical companies, more than one-third. If calculated according to the amount of coal consumed, the energy consumption of chemical companies accounts for 16% of the national industrial enterprises. According to the statistics of the China Chemical Industry Energy-saving Technology Association, in 2004, China's petroleum and chemical industries consumed various kinds of energy equivalent to 279.218 million tons of standard coal. Refined oil, ethylene, synthetic ammonia, caustic soda, soda ash, calcium carbide and yellow phosphorus all are large energy consumers. The average level of comprehensive energy consumption in China's oil refining industry is 25.2 kg of standard oil per ton higher than the best international level; 150-200 kg of standard oil is consumed per ton of ethylene produced per foreign company, and the energy saving potential of ammonia tones per ton of synthetic ammonia is one ton. Up to 250 kg standard coal, the energy consumption potential of caustic soda units within 5 years is about 100 kg of standard coal per ton, the energy consumption of soda ash is 30% higher than the highest level in the world, and the comprehensive energy consumption of calcium carbide and yellow phosphorus is still 400 tons per ton. Kilograms of standard coal are reduced.
