On November 21, reporters learned from the Municipal Development and Reform Commission that the \"Overall Development Plan for Puyang’s New Chemical Industry Base\" (hereinafter referred to as the \"Plan\") has been officially approved by the provincial authorities. This approval provides a guiding document for the development of Puyang’s new chemical industry base, laying a solid foundation for the city to become a demonstration area for the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry within the Central China urban cluster, a national demonstration area for the innovative development of new chemical materials, an important comprehensive petrochemical base in the country, and a key national demonstration site for green and circular development. Puyang was established and thrived thanks to oil, and through years of development and accumulation, it has developed a comprehensive chemical industry sector with a wide range of products. At present, the city has 247 petrochemical enterprises above a certain scale, including Zhongyuan Oilfield, Zhongyuan Petrochemical, and Zhongyuan Da Hua. In 2017, the main revenue generated by the city’s chemical industry amounted to nearly 120 billion yuan, accounting for one-third of the total revenue from industrial enterprises above a certain scale in the city, and one-fifth of the total revenue from the chemical industry in the entire province. The chemical industry has become the backbone of Puyang’s industrial sector. To further integrate resources, optimize the layout, and promote the transformation and development of Puyang as a city facing resource depletion, the municipal Party committee and government have taken a holistic approach, adhering to the requirements of high-quality development. By emphasizing top-level design and planning guidance, they have proposed integrating three provincial-level chemical industry clusters – those located in the eastern part of the urban area, the municipal chemical industry cluster, and the Fanxian County industry cluster – to build a new chemical industrial base covering 65.1 square kilometers. This initiative aims to develop infrastructure on a centralized basis, share supporting services among various entities, and manage the discharge of waste materials in an organized manner. It seeks to achieve efficient use of land, optimal allocation of resources, recycling of resources, and clustered industrial development, thereby creating a new engine for economic growth in Puyang.
The planning and construction of the Puyang New Chemical Industry Base have received high recognition from industry experts. Liu Zhongmin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that for a long time, China’s large-scale petrochemical industry bases have been located in coastal provinces and cities where it is convenient to import and export raw materials. Although the central region has a huge consumer market, it has lacked large-scale petrochemical industry bases capable of taking on such activities and driving economic development there. Planning and constructing a new chemical industry base in Puyang holds great strategic significance for meeting the demand for high-end chemical products in China’s central and western regions and driving the development of related industries. In July 2016, our city commissioned the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute to prepare the \"Plan\". In February 2017 and June 2018, the Plan was successively reviewed by experts and subjected to expert consultation and evaluation organized by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. On September 30 of this year, the planning environmental impact assessment was approved by the Provincial Environmental Protection Department ； On November 16, the **Plan was officially approved by the province. Currently, spatial planning and regional safety assessments are being rapidly revised and improved.
According to the plan, the Puyang New Chemical Industry Base will be based on integrated refining and chemical production. Focusing on five key industrial chains involving ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, and p-xylene, it will develop and strengthen three clusters of new chemical materials, specialty chemicals, and functional chemicals. The goal is to establish a development framework of \"one foundation, five chains, and three clusters,\" thereby promoting the evolution of the chemical industry in the directions of greener, more circular, smarter, and higher-end operations. By 2030, the main business revenue of Puyang’s new chemical industry base is expected to reach 350 billion yuan, marking a complete transformation from traditional petrochemical industries to strategic emerging industries ； By 2035, the main business revenue is expected to reach 500 billion yuan, and a comprehensive new-type chemical industry base with complete facilities, full functionality, industrial clustering, a well-established system, and sustainable development will be established.
The source of raw materials for this plan is a problem; although two crude oil pipelines have been planned to run along the coast of Shandong. However, the crude oil supply to refineries in Shandong Province is severely inadequate; who would transport it inland then?
So where does Luoyang get its raw materials from? ?
Crude oil from the Daqing Oil Field and the Zhongyuan Oil Field.
Will those from the Central Plains keep protecting the Central Plains from now on? Using Daqing goose fat in Luoyang
