Guangxi Petrochemical has incorporated carbon peaking and carbon neutrality into the company's high-quality development overall, accelerated the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system, and made every effort to promote the transformation of refining and chemical integration Upgrading and promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have achieved solid results. As of August 15, Guangxi Petrochemical's carbon emissions this year decreased by 186,000 tons year-on-year, and its carbon emission intensity decreased by 6.3% year-on-year.
Adhere to the path of green and low-carbon development. The company implements energy conservation and carbon reduction measures, continuously reduces energy resource consumption and carbon emissions per unit of output, improves input-output efficiency, and forms an effective carbon emission control "valve" from the source and entrance. Since 2015, a total of more than 600 million yuan has been invested in pollution prevention and control, and 11 environmental protection projects have been implemented. As of August 15, the comprehensive energy consumption of the whole plant has been reduced by 20.93 kg of standard oil / ton, and carbon emissions have been reduced by 765,000 tons; of which , In order to reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds, it invested 188 million yuan to build 16 sets of VOCs treatment facilities, reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds by nearly 660 tons every year, promoting economic development, and protecting the clear water and blue sky. To this end, the company has successively won honors such as "Cleaner Production Enterprise", "Green Factory" and "Ecological Environment Trustworthy Enterprise" in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Follow the group company's three-step overall deployment of "clean replacement, strategic replacement, and green transformation". Guangxi Petrochemical actively promotes the transformation and upgrading of refining and chemical integration, builds a demonstration project for the transformation and upgrading of domestic traditional refining and chemical enterprises and green and low-carbon development, and promotes stable and long-term high-quality development. On July 28, 2022, the company fully launched the "PetroChina Guangxi Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Transformation and Upgrading" project. The project reduces carbon source input from the raw material side and effectively reduces carbon emissions; it adopts advanced environmental protection and energy-saving technology, and configures energy-saving and environmentally-friendly petrochemical products; all new electricity consumption uses nuclear power; at the industry benchmark level.
Accelerate the reserve, promotion and application of new technologies and new processes for green transformation. The company organizes the "Energy Conservation, Carbon Reduction, Green Development" youth science and technology forum to extensively carry out carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology exchanges, and encourage employees to actively learn cutting-edge technologies, key means and important ways to reduce carbon emissions. Carry out in-depth feasibility studies on energy electrification and carbon dioxide removal. In December 2020, the feasibility study of the "Large Hydrogen Reformer Carbon Dioxide Concentration" project approved by the general manager's office meeting began. At present, the first version of the project report has been prepared, and the project will be launched in March next year. Accelerate clean substitution, strengthen recycling, actively develop new energy and low-carbon industries, gradually reduce inefficient production capacity, significantly reduce the carbon footprint of products throughout the life cycle, and continue to improve the ability of refining and chemical business to reduce emissions and create efficiency.
Establish a long-term management mechanism. The company has compiled more than 10 materials such as "Guangxi Petrochemical Company's 'Double-Carbon' Action Plan", "Clean Alternative Work Report", "Carbon Source Gas Investigation" and "Energy-saving Transformation Implementation Plan". Formulate a carbon emission allocation plan, establish a supervisory mechanism, improve the assessment system, and highlight index constraints; carry out the carbon balance calculation of the whole process, refine the decomposition index to each production unit, and promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the whole plant. Promote the construction and certification of the energy management system, establish a long-term mechanism for the whole process of energy management and control, further improve the level of energy efficiency utilization, and enhance the company's energy system management capabilities.
Guangxi Petrochemical will make great efforts to properly handle the relationship between development and emission reduction, overall and local, short-term and medium-to-long-term, and face new problems and challenges in the realization of the "dual-carbon" goal, so as to accurately grasp the direction and focus on development. Opportunities, keep a clear head at all times, and advance all work in a scientific and orderly manner.
