Thread Content

Recently, a mobilization meeting for the 100-day effort to complete the 100,000 tons per year sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production project at CNPC’s Huabei Petrochemical Company was held, marking the entry of the construction of CNPC Group’s first sustainable aviation fuel facility into a full-speed phase. As the EPC general contractor for this project, Global East China Company will leverage its comprehensive engineering capabilities to ensure the project is completed and put into operation on schedule, thereby establishing a model for green transformation in the refining and chemical industry. The 100,000-ton/year SAF project at Huabei Petrochemical is a landmark initiative by CNPC to implement its **\"dual carbon\" strategy and advance the green and low-carbon transformation of its refining sector. By using waste oils as raw materials to produce sustainable aviation fuel, this project plays a vital role in filling the gap in domestic capacity for green aviation fuel and meeting international demands for carbon reduction in aviation. As a leader in the field of biojet fuel projects in China, Huadong Company, leveraging its comprehensive project experience gained from the Lianyungang Jiaao project, successfully won the EPC contract for this project. It now bears the key responsibility of overseeing all aspects of the project, including design, procurement, and construction, to ensure its successful completion. At the mobilization meeting, Huabei Petrochemical clarified that the core goals are to achieve high-quality project handover by November 30, 2026, and to have the project completed and put into operation within that same year, urging all participating units to assume their responsibilities and work together to overcome challenges. Huadong Company stated that it will make full use of the technical expertise and industrialization experience gained from the Lianyungang Jiaao project in the construction of this project, advancing all tasks with high standards and strict requirements. Commit to meeting the scheduled delivery deadline, coordinate the design, procurement, and construction processes as a whole, strengthen plan management, and ensure the project progresses smoothly and is delivered on time ； We commit to upholding the minimum standards for safety and quality, improving the management system and refining preventive measures, ensuring that safety in production is integrated throughout the entire project lifecycle, so as to create high-quality and safe projects ； It is committed to deepening collaborative efforts, proactively strengthening communication with Huabei Petrochemical and all participating units, pooling collective strength to address various challenges encountered in project construction, and establishing a coordinated development framework with seamless coordination across different levels and parties. Going forward, Huadong Company will strictly implement all the requirements set by North China Petrochemical. It will focus on safety management, strive to improve quality, and enhance efficient collaboration, making full use of the advantages of an integrated EPC value chain. The company will carry out project design and construction in a meticulous manner to ensure that projects are completed to high standards on schedule, thereby helping CNPC to become a benchmark in the sustainable aviation fuel industry and contributing to the green and low-carbon transformation of China’s refining industry as well as to carbon reduction efforts in the aviation sector worldwide.
