According to Sinochem New Network, “It is necessary to build a new supply system centered on high-end products and high-quality services, and to promote productive service industries to evolve from traditional supporting sectors into core forces that drive deep industrial upgrading.” ”This was stated by Zhao Jungui, vice president and secretary-general of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation (referred to as CPICF), at the sub-forum held on November 25 as part of the 2025 Conference on the High-Quality Development of the Private Sector in China’s petroleum and chemical industry – namely, the Forum on the Advanced Development of Production and Technology Services. Zhao Jungui pointed out that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China’s petroleum and chemical industry expanded at a rapid pace, but issues such as insufficient innovation capabilities and prominent structural contradictions severely hindered the high-quality development of the industry. The industry needs to accelerate the development and improve the standards of production and technology service sectors, push the petrochemical industry chain and value chain upward toward higher levels, continuously strengthen its manufacturing strengths while addressing weaknesses in services, and achieve a deep integration of the service chain with the industry chain. Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area is **one of the first pilot areas for the integration of industry and services. Yang Lin, a member of the Party Committee and deputy director of the Management Committee of the Economic Development Zone, said that in the face of the new opportunities presented by the new phase of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the zone is actively seeking paths for innovative development and taking various measures to promote high-quality growth in manufacturing and technology service industries. “Service-oriented manufacturing is a new type of industrial model that is customer-demand driven and supported by digital technologies. It involves innovating and optimizing production organization structures, operational management methods, and business development models in order to integrate services deeply into every stage and aspect of the entire life cycle of manufacturing products. ”Ma Liangdong, deputy secretary-general of the China Service-Oriented Manufacturing Alliance, said that policy documents such as the recently issued \"Implementation Plan for Further Promoting the Innovative Development of Service-Oriented Manufacturing (2025–2028)\\" provide a roadmap for the deep integration of services and manufacturing. As typical productive service industries, carbon services, talent development services, and service capability evaluation – how can they contribute to the high-quality development of the petroleum and chemical industries? Yang Shangbao, a scholar in public policy, doctor, and professor at the National Development and Reform Commission, emphasizes that the next five years are a critical period for achieving the goal of carbon peak emissions; industries such as petroleum and chemicals should serve as role models, turning pressure into motivation in order to drive technological innovation and changes in the energy system. Li Yongliang, director of the Technology and Equipment Department at Sinopec United Technology, mentioned that the \"Opinions of the General Office of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council on Promoting Green and Low-Carbon Transformation and Strengthening the Development of the National Carbon Market\" state that by 2027, the national carbon emission trading market will cover the main emission-intensive industries in the industrial sector, while the national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading market will cover all key sectors. Refining, ethylene, synthetic ammonia, methanol, etc. are key areas. Sinopec has been making continuous efforts to develop carbon emission standards; to date, 4 current standards have been issued, with another 6 in the process of approval. “The structural shortage of talent has become a key bottleneck restricting the high-quality development of the petrochemical industry. ”Sun Peng, deputy director of the Office for Integrating Talent and Industry at the Talent Exchange Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, explained that the center has launched the development of a talent hub for the petrochemical industry in response to market needs; this hub covers key areas such as safety, digitalization, and fine chemicals, providing solid talent support for the transformation and upgrading of the industry. Tang Shengxiu, executive director of Beijing Sinochem United Certification Co., Ltd., said that the petrochemical industry urgently needs to shift from a \"capacity-driven\" model to a \"service-driven\" one. It is necessary to actively establish a service capability evaluation system to provide professional assessments for enterprises, tools for governance for governments, and a basis for trust in the market, thereby helping the industry achieve high-quality development. At the meeting, the 2025 \"Petrochemical Selection\" program was officially launched. Ten productive service enterprises, including China Electronics System Engineering Fourth Construction Co., Ltd., Hengxin Runfeng Technology Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and Beijing Sihai Feifan Consulting Co., Ltd., were selected for their outstanding performance in areas such as green transformation, technological innovation, and the improvement of service models.
