Yang Ting, Secretary-General of the Chemical Park Working Committee of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, introduced the comprehensive evaluation of China's chemical parks and the top 30 chemical parks in 2019. Yang Ting pointed out that with the in-depth promotion of the relocation of hazardous chemical production enterprises into the park, all provinces and cities across the country have stepped up the work of promoting the conversion of new and old kinetic energy, and shandong, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Hubei, Liaoning, Shaanxi and other provinces have opened the identification or evaluation of chemical parks, laying a solid foundation for the high-quality development of China's petrochemical industry and chemical parks.
Yang Ting spoke.
Zhu Ji, Chairman of AICM, Senior Vice President of Cabot and President of Asia Pacific, delivered a report entitled "Critical Moments in China's Chemical Industry". He said that the annual park conference is one of aicm's most important projects, because among the many members of aicm, everyone believes that the development of the chemical industry in China is the development of chemical parks, and the rise and fall of chemical parks will have a decisive impact on the development of the industry. China's chemical industry accounts for about 12% of China's GDP GDP.
Zhu Ji spoke.
Wan Lifan, Chairman of ExxonMobil (China) Investment Co., Ltd., delivered the "Global Energy Market Outlook and ExxonMobil's Development Strategy in China", pointing out that the number of people and living standards together determine the demand for energy. In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, energy demand has seen significant growth in the chemical sector, with the Asia-Pacific region growing the fastest. As a developing economy, China's huge market capacity has contributed to a significant increase in energy demand, far exceeding that of other countries. China's energy demand has always been dominated by coal, but in recent years, China's natural gas demand has grown rapidly, and coal demand has continued to shrink. ExxonMobil recognizes that China is the world's most promising investment destination and attaches great importance to the Chinese market. In the future development process, ExxonMobil will improve its basic operations, strengthen integration, make full use of production facilities in China, and promote the development of specialty chemicals business and oil business.
Wan Lifan spoke.
Fan Zhiyi, Secretary of the Daya Bay District Party Committee, introduced the industrial strategic planning and development ideas of the Daya Bay Petrochemical Park. Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone is one of the seven petrochemical industry bases under national key construction, and the scale of refining and chemical integration is the first in the country in 2018, and the next development goal is to build a world-class green petrochemical industry base. The ExxonMobil Huizhou Chemical Complex project with an investment of more than US$10 billion and the CNOOC/Shell Phase III project with an investment of more than US$7 billion are under construction and are progressing smoothly with the attention and support of the state, provinces and municipalities. At present, 89 projects have been settled in Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone, of which the investment of the world's top 500 and industry-leading enterprises accounts for nearly 90%. We will further expand the development space, vigorously develop the middle and lower reaches of the industry such as fine chemicals and new materials, and strive to introduce industry-leading and technologically advanced chemical enterprises, so as to promote more world chemical giants to compete on the same stage and comprehensively enhance the international competitiveness of the petrochemical industry in the Greater Bay Area.
Fan Zhiyi made a speech.
At the event, the Working Committee of Chemical Parks of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation released the list of "2019 Top 30 Chemical Parks in China", and Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone ranked first, and entered the top three in the country in many indicators such as total economic volume, total profit, cumulative fixed asset investment, output value per unit area, and profit per unit area.
At the scene of the China Chemical Industry Park and Industrial Development Forum, enterprises associated with petrochemicals displayed their products.
