Recently, our city issued the \"Implementation Plan for Building a Modern Industrial System to Promote the Development of High-End Petrochemical Industries\" (hereinafter referred to as the \"Plan\"). A responsible official from the Municipal Development and Reform Commission said that our city will follow the overall strategy of expanding scale, extending industrial chains, improving production processes, and promoting clustered development. Taking Sinopec Luoyang Branch’s (referred to as Luoyang Petrochemical) 18 million tons per year oil refining expansion project as a key example, the city will drive the petrochemical industry to develop in a more scaled, systematic, and refined manner by extending and strengthening existing industrial chains ； Support the development of the fine chemicals and fluorosilicon organic materials industries to increase their added value ； Efforts are being made to introduce the fiber textile industry in order to foster new sources of economic growth. By 2020, the revenue from core business operations was expected to exceed 140 billion yuan. At present, the city’s high-end petrochemical industry features over 210 enterprises of a certain scale, making it one of the major petrochemical hubs in the central region. Our city is home to research institutions such as Sinopec Luoyang Engineering Company and Liming Chemical Research Institute, and its capabilities in scientific research and development rank among the best in the country. The plan states that by 2020, the city’s high-end petrochemical industry is expected to achieve main business revenues of over 140 billion yuan, thereby becoming the largest high-end petrochemical industry hub in the central and western regions – one with an integrated upstream and downstream structure, a complete industrial chain, and strong competitive capabilities. At least 30 petrochemical enterprises with main business revenues of over 1 billion yuan are to be established in this sector. Adhering to Four Development Principles to Enhance the Comprehensive Competitiveness of the Industry Based on the foundation and advantages of our city’s high-end petrochemical industry, the Plan outlines four development principles: – The principle of local resource conversion: In line with the requirements for seamless integration between upstream and downstream processes as well as a complete industrial chain, local resources should be allocated wisely. Priority should be given to developing the petrochemical industry chain within the region; while ensuring an adequate supply of basic petrochemical products such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, efforts should also be made to develop high-value-added petrochemical products with good market prospects, thereby enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of our city’s petrochemical industry. -Principles of technological innovation: By relying on research institutions and universities such as Sinopec Luoyang Engineering Company, Liming Chemical Research Institute, and Henan University of Science and Technology, and by collaborating with top domestic and international research institutions, universities, and local chemical enterprises, we aim to establish R&D platforms. This will facilitate the development and application of key technologies and cutting-edge products, thereby helping to create a competitive advantage in the field of technology. -Principle of clustered development: Taking key enterprises as leaders and industrial clusters as platforms, through scientific planning and rational layout, related enterprises are actively introduced to strengthen industrial support systems, thereby creating scale effects and enhancing the industry’s internal driving force for development as well as its ability to withstand external risks. -Principles of Strategic Cooperation We will further deepen the strategic cooperation between the chemical enterprises in our city and large enterprises such as Sinopec Group, China National Chemical Corporation, Henan Energy and Chemical Industry Group, as well as other provincial-level large enterprises, in order to foster strong alliances between them. At the same time, by leveraging its advantages in upstream resources, it actively undertakes the transfer of industries such as fine chemicals and chemical fiber textiles from the southeastern coastal areas, thereby continuously fostering new sources of economic growth. Support for the construction of major projects to accelerate the development of industrial parks. The Plan also outlines the key tasks for the development of our city’s high-end petrochemical industry in the coming period: full support will be provided for major projects such as the expansion and renovation of Luoyang Petrochemical’s refinery with a capacity of 18 million tons per year. Relevant municipal departments and counties (districts) must provide all necessary support services to ensure that our city can become the largest high-end petrochemical industry hub in the central and western regions. Accelerate the process of industrial park development; centered around the Luoyang Petrochemical Industry Cluster, establish a chemical park that integrates petroleum chemistry, coal chemistry, and salt chemistry. Coordinate the development of public facilities such as heating, pollution control, and water supply to promote the advancement of our city’s chemical industry toward higher levels. Accelerate the development of support platforms for key industries under cultivation, such as chemical fiber textiles and fluorine chemicals, to ensure the healthy and continuous development of these industries. According to the industrial layout, the Petrochemical Industry Cluster in Luoyang focuses on the development of petrochemicals and fine chemicals, while also making efforts to foster specialty industries such as fluorosilicon organic materials ； The Huayang Industrial Cluster in Mengjin County takes on the downstream industries of Luoyang Petrochemical, focusing on the development of chemical fiber textiles and fine chemicals ； Relying on its resource advantages, the Songxian Industrial Cluster has made significant efforts to develop the deep processing of fluorine-based chemical products. Vigorously promote investment attraction and accelerate the development of local enterprises. We will develop a recruitment roadmap for the chemical industry in our city. By focusing on the weak and missing links in the industrial chain, and targeting key enterprises and leading firms in major fields such as fine chemicals, new chemical materials, and related downstream applications both domestically and internationally, we will concentrate our recruitment resources and efforts to carry out targeted outreach for investment.
Good news! We can work from home now.
Not bad, not bad; my hometown is also Luoyang – what great news from my home town!
There are many established oil companies in Luoyang, such as Luoyang Refinery, Luoyang Design Institute, and CNPC First Construction Company
