Implement Energy Conservation Law: Chemical Industry Faces New Test

The newly revised "Energy Conservation Law of the People's Republic of China" will be implemented on April 1, 2008. Compared with the original energy-saving law that was implemented on January 1, 1998, the new energy-saving law clearly stipulates that saving resources is the basic national policy of China. This has strengthened government supervision, which means that violations of energy use will be held accountable. , it is impossible to be no one as before. This is a severe test for the chemical industry, which is a big energy consumer. Improving energy efficiency and protecting and improving the environment are the only way for the sustainable development of the chemical industry.
Large-scale use of energy, energy-saving tasks are arduous With the rapid development of China's industry, energy demand has rapidly increased. During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period, the average annual growth rate of China's energy demand is as high as 9.93%. In 2006, China’s total energy consumption reached 2.46 billion tons of standard coal, an increase of 9.3% over 2005. At present, China is the second largest energy consumer in the world, and its energy consumption is second only to the United States.
China’s energy consumption is still dominated by traditional energy sources such as coal and petroleum. In recent years, China’s coal production has continued to innovate. The country’s coal production has increased from 1.25 billion tons in 2000 to 2.38 billion tons in 2006, with an average annual growth rate of 11.5%. In 2007, China’s coal production is expected to exceed 2.5 billion tons. In terms of oil consumption, China has already become a major importer of crude oil in the world. The latest statistics from the State General Administration of Customs show that from January to October this year, China’s crude oil imports totaled 136.7 million tons, which together with daily imports of 3.3 million barrels, an increase of 13.8% over the same period last year. In the same period, the domestic crude oil output only increased by 1.4%, which made China's crude oil import dependency remained at a high of 47.2%, an increase of 2.5 percentage points over the same period of last year. The statistics also show that the apparent consumption of crude oil in China from January to October this year reached 289,591 tons, an increase of 7.8% year-on-year.
The chemical industry is a big energy consumer. According to Zhang Juntong, vice president of the China Chemical Industry Energy Technology Association, in 2005 the country’s chemical industry consumed more than 235 million tons of standard coal, which accounted for about 10% of the country’s total energy consumption, and accounted for 14% of the country’s total industrial energy consumption. 15%. Chemicals such as ethylene, synthetic ammonia, caustic soda, soda ash, calcium carbide and yellow phosphorus all have large energy consumption.
In September 2006, the national oil and chemical industry energy conservation work conference was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Li Yongwu, president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, issued a “military order” for the unit energy consumption of major industries and products: by 2010, ethylene Unit energy consumption has dropped to 650kg/t, down 6.2% from 2005; unit ammonia energy consumption has dropped to 1600kg/t, down 6.5% from 2005; / Ton, which is 8.1% lower than in 2005; unit energy consumption of soda ash has dropped to 380kg/t, down 4.2% from 2005; energy consumption per unit of electricity in stone has dropped below 2,000kg/t, which is higher than 2005 The decrease was 8.5%; the unit consumption of yellow phosphorus was reduced to 7300kg/t, which was 2% lower than in 2005.
The implementation of energy conservation law, technology should be the first In the context of the rapid growth of energy consumption in China, the revision and implementation of the energy conservation law is a step-by-step measure. The newly revised energy-saving law aims to promote the entire society to save energy, improve the efficiency of energy use, protect and improve the environment, and promote the overall coordinated and sustainable economic and social development. Its implementation will inevitably have a positive guiding and promoting effect on China's entire energy strategy. According to the law, the state will implement the energy development strategy that combines conservation and development and puts conservation first.
As we all know, since the implementation of the national energy conservation and consumption reduction target in 2006, only Beijing has completed its target mission, and the energy saving situation is not optimistic. In the Catalogue of Industrial Energy Conservation of the New Energy Conservation Law, the “State Council and the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government have promoted the optimal development and utilization of energy resources and rational allocation, promoted structural adjustment of industries conducive to energy conservation, optimized the structure of energy use, and corporate layout”. This law has a direct impact on the chemical industry. In the future, the chemical industry should promote energy-saving structural adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the new energy conservation law. The phase-out project will be phased out and the project launched should be released as soon as possible.
In addition, in accordance with the provisions of the new energy conservation law, the State Council will work with the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association to formulate energy-saving technology policies for the chemical industry and promote the energy-saving technological transformation of chemical companies. Chemical companies should grasp the trend of policies in a timely manner and make preparations as early as possible in order to make beneficial adjustments to their development strategies.
In addition, the new energy-saving law has clearly sent signals to encourage industrial enterprises to adopt highly efficient and energy-saving motors, boilers, kilns, fans, pumps and other equipment, using cogeneration, residual heat and pressure utilization, clean coal, and advanced energy monitoring. And control and other technologies. Therefore, chemical companies can plan ahead and adopt energy-saving equipment early enough to allow limited funds to be targeted.
For the first time, the new energy conservation law regards the completion of energy saving goals as the content of the evaluation of local people's governments and their responsible persons. Therefore, energy conservation at all levels of the government will be regarded as a major event in the future, and the chemical industry will become one of the key concerns, and the energy saving situation will become more severe.
In addition, the new energy conservation law also highlights the role of industry associations in industrial energy conservation planning and the development of energy efficiency standards, as well as the role of news media in propaganda and supervision.
Save energy, the chemical industry has a long way to go The implementation of the new energy conservation law, the chemical industry task is arduous. As a large energy consumer, the chemical industry may encounter some difficulties in the early implementation of the new energy conservation law, and it needs the industry's serious response to overcome the difficulties. In the long run, the implementation of the new energy conservation law is conducive to the sustainable development of the chemical industry. According to analysis, the benefits of the chemical industry will be mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, the new energy conservation law is conducive to the upgrading of the chemical industry. The new energy-saving law clearly stipulates that any project that does not meet the mandatory energy-saving standards and that is responsible for project approval or approval shall not approve or approve the construction. Therefore, this will prompt the newly-built chemical companies to strictly comply with the provisions of the new energy conservation law and submit the feasibility report of the project on the premise of meeting the energy conservation policy. Only after the relevant departments approve the approval can they be constructed, thereby avoiding the high energy-consuming chemical projects. Launched. At the same time, the state has differentiated pricing, restriction, permission, and encouragement for enterprises in steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, chemicals, and other major energy-consuming industries, which are objectively favorable to industrial upgrading of the chemical industry.
Second, the new energy-saving law can become a catalyst for the development of the industry's scale. The new energy conservation law stipulates that the state will implement a phase-out system for backward energy-consuming energy-consuming products, equipment, and production processes. Enterprises in the chemical industry can take this opportunity to introduce new energy-saving products and equipment, introduce advanced energy-saving production technologies, change the original loose product structure, and use new equipment and new processes to promote the scale and healthy development of the chemical industry.
Third, the new energy conservation law will help the chemical industry to show its good image and create more brand-name products. According to the regulations, producers of energy-using products may, based on voluntary principles, apply for energy-saving product certification to institutions that are certified by the certification and accreditation department of the State Council and certified by the regulatory authority in accordance with the national regulations concerning the certification of energy-saving products; To obtain energy-saving product certification certificates, energy-saving product certification marks may be used on energy-using products or their packaging. For the majority of chemical companies, they can take this opportunity to high standards and strict requirements on their products, striving for energy-saving product certification, and strive to form a number of "fist" energy-saving products with market competitiveness in various sub-sectors and expand the chemical industry The influence will further enhance the social image of the chemical industry.
In addition, the implementation of the new energy conservation law will effectively promote the development and improvement of the energy management division system in the chemical industry. The China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association has decided to organize energy management training courses for key energy-consuming enterprises in the industry to help these enterprises strengthen energy management.
