It is hereby issued to you; please implement it conscientiously in light of actual circumstances. Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, September 29, 2016 – Development Plan for the Petrochemical and Chemical Industries (2016–2020). The petrochemical and chemical industries are important pillars of the national economy; they have a large economic scale, high levels of industrial interconnection, and are closely related to economic development, people’s livelihoods, as well as national defense and military affairs. They hold an important position within China’s industrial economic structure. Since the reform and opening up, China’s petrochemical and chemical industries have made significant progress, basically meeting the needs of economic and social development as well as the construction of the defense science and technology industry. However, compared to developed **, there are still certain gaps in terms of technological innovation, industrial structure, and green development. 　　“The 13th Five-Year Plan period is a decisive phase for China to fully build a moderately prosperous society, as well as a critical period for China to transition from being a major player in the petrochemical and chemical industries to becoming a strong one. This plan is formulated to implement the \"13th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development,\" \"Made in China 2025,\" and the \"Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Promoting International Cooperation in Production Capacity and Equipment Manufacturing,\" to help transform the petrochemical and chemical industries from being large-scale to being highly competitive, and to guide their sustainable, scientific, and healthy development. The petrochemical and chemical industries referred to in this plan are those that carry out chemical processing using raw materials such as oil, natural gas, coal, chemical minerals, and biomass; they do not include the oil and natural gas extraction industry or the manufacturing of specialized equipment. The planning period is from 2016 to 2020. 　　I. Current Situation and Development Environment of the Industry (1) Achievements in Development During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, faced with a complex situation characterized by a slowdown in domestic economic growth, difficulties in structural adjustment, and the need to address the effects of previous stimulus policies, as well as a challenging external environment due to the slow recovery of the world economy, China’s petrochemical and chemical industries actively dealt with various risks and challenges. By pushing forward with changes in development models and structural adjustments, the entire industry maintained steady and rapid growth, its overall strength was significantly enhanced, and it made significant contributions to the healthy development of the economy and society. 　　1. The overall strength has been significantly enhanced. “During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, China’s petrochemical and chemical industries continued to exhibit rapid growth, with annual increases in output value of 9% and industrial added value of 9.4%. By 2015, the industry generated main business revenue of 11.8 trillion yuan. Our country has become the world’s largest producer of chemicals, ranking first in the world in the production of key commodities such as methanol, fertilizers, pesticides, chlor-alkali products, tires, and inorganic raw materials. The capacity to ensure supply of key products has been gradually enhanced; the equivalent self-sufficiency rates for ethylene and propylene have risen to 50% and 72% respectively, while the self-sufficiency rate for new chemical materials has reached 63%. 　　2. Structural adjustment is progressing steadily. The regional layout has been further improved, with 22 refineries capable of processing 10 million tons each and 10 ethylene production facilities with a capacity of 1 million tons each established, thus giving rise to three major petrochemical industry clusters in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Bohai Sea region ； Large-scale chemical manufacturing bases such as those for phosphate fertilizers in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hubei, as well as potassium fertilizer plants in Qinghai and Xinjiang, have been established, along with modern coal chemical manufacturing bases in western Mongolia, Ningdong, and northern Shaanxi. New progress has been made in the development of chemical industrial parks, and their capacity for industrial clustering continues to improve; 32 new models of industrialization demonstration bases have been established. The adjustment of the product structure has continued to deepen: the production of 22 highly toxic pesticides has dropped to around 2% of the total pesticide output. Phosphorus fertilizers with high nutrient content account for 90.8% of all phosphorus fertilizers, while the share of caustic soda produced by the ion-exchange membrane process has risen to 98.6%. The proportion of radial tires produced has increased to 90.9%. With breakthroughs in technologies such as new coal chemical processes and propane dehydrogenation, the share of non-petroleum-based ethylene and propylene in production has risen to 12% and 27%, thereby effectively enhancing China’s capacity to secure petrochemical products. 　　3. The capacity for technological innovation has improved significantly. The innovative role of enterprises has been further strengthened, with hundreds of technology centers established in petrochemical and chemical industries. A range of new chemical materials such as high-strength carbon fibers, lithium hexafluorophosphate, reverse osmosis membranes, and bio-based plasticizers have been put into industrial use. Some small and medium-sized chemical enterprises with specialized proprietary technologies are gradually becoming the main drivers of innovation in the fields of new chemical materials and high-end specialty chemicals. Breakthroughs have been achieved in production technologies such as perfluorinated ion-exchange membranes for chlor-alkali industry and wet rubber processing; a ten-thousand-ton-scale coal-to-aromatics plant has been built. A range of large-scale petrochemical and coal chemical technologies and equipment, such as p-xylene and coal-derived olefins, have been localized in China, with some having reached international advanced levels. 　　4. Progress has been made in energy conservation and emission reduction. It took the lead nationwide in establishing a system for recognizing energy efficiency leaders; as a result, a number of resource-conserving and environment-friendly chemical industrial parks and manufacturing enterprises have emerged. From 2011 to 2014, the overall energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of output value across the industry decreased by 20% in total, and all targets regarding energy consumption per unit of key energy-intensive products were met. Emissions of major pollutants from industries continue to decline. In 2014, the emission intensities of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, and sulfur dioxide (SO2) per 10,000 yuan of output value in the petrochemical and chemical industries were 0.43 kilograms per 10,000 yuan, 0.07 kilograms per 10,000 yuan, and 1.79 kilograms per 10,000 yuan respectively, representing decreases of 47.6%, 40%, and 23.5% compared to 2010. The level of pollution control in industries such as coal chemical processing, pesticides, and dyes has been further improved; the comprehensive utilization rate of chemical mineral resources such as phosphate rock has continued to rise, and heavy metal emissions have been effectively controlled. 　　5. The integration of the two industries is deepening gradually. Over 90% of production enterprises above a certain scale have implemented Process Control Systems (PCS), with the production processes largely under automated control. Production optimization systems (APC), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) have also been widely adopted in enterprises, further improving production efficiency. Industries such as petrochemicals, tires, fertilizers, coal chemicals, chlor-alkali, and fluorine chemicals were the first to carry out pilot projects for intelligent manufacturing. 　　6. International cooperation has achieved remarkable results. “During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the level of opening up of the petrochemical and chemical industries continued to rise. International chemical multinationals such as BASF, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, and DuPont are actively expanding their operations in China, establishing R&D centers and production facilities, and developing high-tech industries, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of their products. Domestic petrochemical and chemical enterprises have carried out a series of impactful cross-border mergers and acquisitions; China National Chemical Corporation’s acquisitions of companies such as Maxim Agan and Pirelli have yielded good results, enhancing the competitive advantages of the domestic industry across the entire value chain. The tire industry has focused its operations in Southeast Asia, a region rich in natural rubber resources, and has invested in building numerous factories there. The nitrogen fertilizer industry has exported ammonia and urea production technologies to countries such as Bangladesh, Brazil, Vietnam, and New Zealand. The potash fertilizer industry has invested in over 20 projects in more than 10 overseas countries, thereby addressing the shortage of potash fertilizer supply in China. 　　(II) Main Issues During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, significant progress was made in terms of the overall economic volume and development quality of China’s petrochemical and chemical industries. However, compared with developed countries, there is still a gap in terms of development level. 　　1. Structural contradictions are relatively prominent. Traditional products generally suffer from overcapacity; in key industries such as calcium carbide, caustic soda, polyvinyl chloride, phosphate fertilizers, and nitrogen fertilizers, overcapacity is particularly pronounced. The domestic self-sufficiency rate for major basic raw materials such as ethylene, p-xylene, and ethylene glycol, as well as high-tech chemical materials and advanced specialty chemicals, is relatively low. High-end products such as engineering plastics, advanced polyolefin plastics, special rubbers, and electronic chemicals still require substantial imports. 　　2. Insufficient innovation capability in the industry. Investment in technology is generally low; the capacity for forward-looking, original innovation is weak, there is a lack of reserves for such innovative technologies, and few core technologies have reached international leading levels. The development of core process packages and the ability to address key engineering challenges are insufficient; the application of new-generation information technologies is still in its initial stages, the rate of conversion of scientific and technological achievements is low, and technological innovation provides weak support for industrial development. 　　3. There is significant pressure regarding safety and environmental protection. With the rapid pace of urbanization, the problems of \"chemical industries surrounding cities\" and \"cities surrounding chemical industries\" have become increasingly apparent. Coupled with the weak safety awareness of some enterprises, safety accidents occur from time to time, highlighting the conflict between industry development and urban development. Fear of chemicals and the NIMBY effect pose significant constraints on the development of this industry. As environmental emission standards continue to rise, the industry faces increasing pressure in terms of environmental protection. 　　4. The industrial layout is not entirely rational. There are a large number of petrochemical and chemical manufacturing enterprises, most of which are small in scale with dispersed production capacities; some enterprises that produce hazardous chemicals have not yet moved into chemical industrial parks. At the same time, the problem of having “a large number of chemical industrial parks that are sparsely distributed” is quite prominent. The planning, construction, and management levels of some parks are relatively low; their supporting infrastructure is inadequate, posing potential safety and environmental risks. 　　(III) Development environment: The 13th Five-Year Plan period is a crucial time for China’s petrochemical and chemical industries to undergo transformation and upgrading and to become a manufacturing powerhouse. The industry faces a severe and complex development environment, where favorable conditions and constraints coexist, with both growth potential and downward pressure present simultaneously. 　　Internationally, the recovery of the world economy is slow and difficult; the impacts of the international financial crisis and its underlying effects will persist for a long time, while trade protectionism is on the rise. The large-scale development of shale gas and shale oil in the United States, as well as Iran’s return to the international crude oil market, coupled with the rapid advancement of technologies for replacing fossil fuels, have created considerable uncertainty regarding the recovery of international oil prices. The petrochemical production capacities in low-cost oil and gas-producing regions such as the Middle East and North America have been brought online one after another, prompting a further shift of the focus of the global petrochemical products market toward East Asia and South Asia, where competition in some petrochemical product markets has become more intense. At the same time, the further implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative provides new opportunities for domestic enterprises to engage in international cooperation. 　　Domestically, the 13th Five-Year Plan period is a crucial phase for fully building a moderately prosperous society. With the accelerated progress of new industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization—and particularly with the full implementation of strategies such as “Made in China 2025”, the integration of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt—China’s economy will continue to grow at a medium-to-high rate, providing ample room for development in the petrochemical and chemical industries. With the development of strategic emerging industries and the defense science and technology sector, the emergence of new models and forms in manufacturing, the acceleration of population aging, and the shift toward more personalized and high-end consumer demands, there is an urgent need for high-quality petrochemical products that are green, safe, and cost-effective. At the same time, China’s economic development is at a critical stage marked by a shift in growth rates, structural adjustments, and a change in driving forces for growth. The petrochemical and chemical industries have entered a transitional phase characterized by the emergence of new sources of growth while traditional ones weaken. The pressures related to safety and environmental protection, as well as constraints imposed by factor costs, are becoming increasingly significant. The tasks of carrying out supply-side structural reforms, improving quality and efficiency, and achieving green and sustainable development are formidable. 　　(IV) Demand forecast: During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, driven by factors such as the steady progress of new-type urbanization and consumption upgrading, the market demand for petrochemical products is expected to continue growing at a relatively rapid pace. In 2015, China’s urbanization rate was around 56%, and it is expected to exceed 60% by 2020. More than 50 million people will move from rural areas to cities. New forms of urbanization and rising consumer demand will significantly boost investment in infrastructure and related facilities, thereby increasing the demand for energy, building materials, home appliances, food, clothing, vehicles, and daily necessities, and this in turn will drive continuous growth in the demand for petrochemical products. Meanwhile, by 2020, China will have completed the construction of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Per capita income of residents will double compared to 2010, while the overall consumer capacity of society will increase by more than 120%. Residents’ consumption patterns will shift from those focused on basic needs to those oriented toward development, and the demand for high-quality petrochemical products that are green, safe, and cost-effective will grow at a faster pace than that for traditional industries. The consumption volumes and demand forecasts for representative petrochemical products are shown in the table below: II.
