On September 8, the Management Committee of Dalian Changxing Island Economic and Technological Development Zone held a signing ceremony with Liaoning Dingjide Petrochemical Technology Co., Ltd. The Dingjide POE high-end new materials project, involving an investment of 10 billion yuan, was officially established in Xizhong Island, marking a new phase in the development of the petrochemical base in Dalian Changxing Island (Xizhong Island). Leng Xuefeng, Deputy Mayor of Dalian, attended the signing ceremony. It is reported that Liaoning Dingjide Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise that integrates the research, development, production, and sales of olefin catalysts as well as subsequent additives; it is one of the main suppliers of polyolefin catalysts and chemical additives in Asia. Guided by the policy of building a strong manufacturing nation, this project focuses on the strategic area of \"new materials\" and strives to create a globally leading high-end new materials industry hub, thereby supporting and contributing to the high-level, high-quality, and sustainable development of the regional economy. The high-end new materials project invested in by this company is located in the Nishinakajima Petrochemical Park, covering an area of 1.133 million square meters, with construction to take place in two phases. Once all phases of the project are operational, the annual output value is expected to reach 11.8 billion yuan. It is reported that this project will leverage the resource advantages, geographical location advantages, port facilities, and supporting infrastructure of the Dalian Changxing Island (Xizhong Island) petrochemical base. Starting from light hydrocarbon carbones, it will employ green, environmentally friendly, and advanced production technologies to manufacture high-end new material products such as alpha olefins and POE. These products are primarily used in industries such as electronics, automotive, healthcare, and new energy, and they play a significant role in increasing the proportion of domestically produced key products, overcoming technical bottlenecks, promoting technological progress in related industries, and accelerating industrial transformation and upgrading. Leng Xuefeng said that in recent years, Dalian’s economy has experienced rapid growth, with its growth rate exceeding the national average for eight consecutive quarters. In particular, the added value of industrial enterprises above a certain size grew by 13%, and the main drivers of this growth were the petrochemical industry and Changxing Island. Changxing Island boasts unique advantages for industrial development. Hengli Group has built a petrochemical integration project with an annual capacity of 20 million tons as well as a polyester technology industrial park. CNPC plans to construct a refinery with an annual capacity of 10 million tons and an ethylene plant with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tons on Xizhong Island. These two major projects will provide essential raw materials and support for the future development of Changxing Island. Universities and research institutions such as Dalian University of Technology and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also offer strong scientific and technological support for the industrial development of Changxing Island. The ** Administration of Dalian City and the Changxing Island Management Committee will further enhance their service orientation, strengthen inter-departmental coordination, and make every effort to ensure that projects are accelerated in construction and brought online on schedule. They will strive to create a business environment that brings comfort to entrepreneurs, peace of mind to enterprises, and confidence to society, thereby turning Dalian into a hub for domestic and international production factors, a prime location for entrepreneurship and development, and a place suitable for living due to its ecological advantages.
