Suggestions for the Development of the Petrochemical Industry in Jilin Province

Thread Content

Data from the China Industry Information Network (www.chyxx.com) show that: (1) Leverage the leading role of key enterprises to accelerate the development of local businesses. Relying on China National Petroleum Corporation’s strengths in oil and gas resources, financial investment, project construction, plant upgrades, and technological improvements, the Jilin Oilfield and Jilin Petrochemical have achieved rapid development and play a leading role in the entire industry. The leading enterprises should continue to play a driving role, making full use of Jilin Province’s advantages in basic chemical raw materials and natural resources to focus on developing upstream petrochemical products, and promoting the consolidation, expansion, and integration of petrochemical facilities. Active efforts should be made to attract major petrochemical projects from central government-owned enterprises to be invested and constructed in Jilin Province. While advancing the construction of such projects, it is necessary to further extend the industrial chain, ensure a supply of raw materials for downstream products, and enhance the capacity of local small and medium-sized enterprises to carry out advanced processing of petrochemical products supplied by these central government-owned enterprises. Research Report on the Evaluation of China’s New Coal Chemicals Market and Its Development Prospects from 2012 to 2016 (II): Accelerate the construction of industrial parks to gradually foster industry clustering. The development of chemical industrial parks is lagging behind; large, medium, and small chemical manufacturing enterprises lack suitable platforms for growth, and the level of integration is low, all of which hinder the development of the petrochemical industry in Jilin Province. The construction of chemical industrial parks should be accelerated in accordance with the principles of diversifying raw material sources, extending industrial development, and deepening product processing. The development of chemical industrial parks should be combined with the growth of industrial clusters, fostering cluster economies with high levels of interconnection among upstream and downstream industries to support the development of local enterprises. It is necessary to plan the park well and strengthen public services. For loans required for the construction of key projects within chemical industrial parks, guarantee companies should provide guarantees at preferential rates, and banks should grant loans on a priority basis. New chemical enterprises are encouraged to enter the park, with scientific planning and rational layout, emphasizing industrial characteristics to avoid resource waste and disorderly competition. It is necessary to strengthen safety and environmental protection, improve logistics and transportation, and establish a sustainable development model characterized by \"interconnected enterprises, centralized supply chains, efficient logistics, comprehensive environmental management, circular utilization, and continuous improvement in management.\" (III) Promote technological progress and innovation to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. Improve the technology innovation mechanism, streamline the science and technology management system, concentrate scientific and technological resources, and focus on carrying out major scientific and technological research projects. Accelerate the establishment of a technological innovation system centered on enterprises, market-oriented, and integrating industry, academia, and research. Special funding is provided to petrochemical enterprises closely linked to industries such as automobiles for the research and development of new technologies and products, as well as for technology upgrade projects. Accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, establish various forms of industry-university-research cooperation platforms and technology alliances to promote the conversion of research results and enhance enterprises’ technical competitiveness. Further establish mechanisms for attracting and retaining talent, create a talent pool, ensure that everyone’s abilities are utilized to the fullest, and maximize the potential of scientific and technical professionals by assigning them to suitable positions; adopt person-centered management approaches to create a favorable working environment for such professionals; and carry out extensive technical training to improve the skills of employees and strengthen the core competitiveness of the enterprise. (IV) Transform the industrial development model and continuously improve the industry’s image. “The 12th Five-Year Plan period represents a critical time for China’s petrochemical industry to accelerate its transformation and structural adjustment; concepts such as harmony, the rule of law, integrity, innovation, low carbon emissions, environmental protection, and humanistic care will be more deeply integrated into the mainstream values. To this end, emphasis should be placed on the environmental management of Jilin Province’s petrochemical industry, so as to achieve a balanced development of social benefits, corporate profits, and customer interests in the refining and chemical industries. Fully leverage the role of chemical industrial parks as models for implementing a circular economy and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction; develop and adopt clean production processes and new environmental protection technologies to achieve \"zero discharge\" of wastewater and solid waste. Enterprises should adopt advanced processes and clean production methods, strengthen waste recycling and reuse, improve water recycling technologies as well as wastewater reutilization techniques, reduce the emission of polluting waste at the source, and enhance the efficiency of comprehensive resource utilization. Enhance public recognition and trust in the petrochemical industry, and present to the public its new image as an industry that is low-carbon, environmentally friendly, efficient, and innovative.
