Core equipment of Sino-Korea Petrochemical’s new jet fuel hydrogenation unit successfully installed 2025-08-02 On August 1, the liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor, which is a key piece of equipment for Sino-Korea Petrochemical’s new 1.2 million tons per year jet fuel hydrogenation unit, was installed in place. The project was designed by Sinopec Engineering Construction Co., Ltd., with Sinopec Fifth Construction Co., Ltd. taking charge of the overall construction. The facility is designed to operate 8,400 hours per year; once in operation, it will supply an increasing amount of clean aviation fuel to airports across Central China.
02 Emerging Directions in Electrocatalysis The emerging directions in electrocatalysis are mainly focused on the following key areas: 1. CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR), which aims to convert carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals; this is of great significance for the carbon cycle and reducing greenhouse gas emissions； 2. Nitrogen fixation (N₂ reduction), namely the conversion of nitrogen gas into nitrogen-containing compounds such as ammonia through electrocatalysis, provides a new approach for the production of green fertilizers and similar applications ； 3. The electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived chemicals enables the transformation of components in biomass into bulk chemicals, helping to reduce reliance on fossil resources ； 4. Electrocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂); as a clean oxidizing agent, hydrogen peroxide has important applications in various industrial fields, and this approach holds significant industrial potential. The development of electrocatalysis faces various challenges: 1. Scientific and technical challenges, including the scalability of reactions – such as how to increase electrode size and optimize operational conditions – as well as the fact that the performance of certain reactions (such as CO₂RR and NRR) has not yet met the requirements for industrial application ； 2. Cost issues: The fixed and operational costs associated with electrocatalytic technology remain too high; it is necessary to reduce these costs by improving the design of electrocatalysts/electrodes and optimizing operating conditions ； 3. Research limitations: Current studies mainly focus on the mechanism and design of electrocatalysts, with insufficient attention paid to systems engineering. There is also a lack of in-depth exploration into the synergistic use of different reactions. Additionally, in terms of theoretical methods, no unified electrochemical and electrocatalytic theory has yet been developed to guide the design of new electrocatalysts.
