Hainan Yangpu, China News Service, July 28 (Ling Nan) On July 28, the enterprises of Sinopec in Hainan jointly released for the first time the white paper titled \"Sinopec’s Social Responsibility Report in Hainan\". The white paper states that the investment for the expansion and renovation of Sinopec Hainan Refining & Chemical Company’s plant, which will have an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene as well as oil refining capabilities, is around 28.1 billion yuan. The construction is underway in a safe and efficient manner, with commissioning of the plant expected to take place on September 30, 2022. It is estimated that once the project is completed and put into operation, it will add around 20 billion yuan in output value for the ethylene sector and 5 billion yuan in tax revenues, while also driving output values in downstream industries worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Currently, Sinopec has a comprehensive crude oil processing capacity of 9.2 million tons per year in Hainan, an aromatic hydrocarbons production capacity of 1.6 million tons per year, as well as a refined oil sales capacity of 1.6 million tons per year. Since 2006, the Sinopec enterprises based in Hainan have paid a total of over 102 billion yuan in various taxes and fees to the province, ranking first in Hainan in terms of tax payments for 14 consecutive years.
