Data show that China's petrochemical industry has broad prospects for energy conservation

According to the calculation of 76 large-scale refinery companies across the country, the annual recoverable energy is 779.76 billion yuan, and it is estimated that the energy recovered by the entire petrochemical equipment can reach 1.2 trillion yuan. It can be said that petrochemical equipment is one of the keys to achieving the national energy conservation goals of the 11th Five-Year Plan. Zhang Yanfeng, director of the Lanzhou Institute of Petroleum Machinery, said at a workshop recently held in Gansu Province to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry.

Zhang Yanfeng said that the petrochemical industry is both a large capacity producer and a large energy consumer. In 2006, more than 75,000 mechanical oil production wells across the country consumed 10.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, accounting for 0.3% of the country's total electricity consumption. A refinery with a capacity of 2.5 million tons/year consumed 300,000 tons of crude oil each year. , equivalent to 2.25 million barrels, according to 57 US dollars / barrel, the annual consumption of 130 million US dollars; the national processing volume of 250 million tons, annual consumption of 104 billion yuan.

But on the other hand, the petrochemical industry's energy-saving space is also huge. Zhang Yanfeng said: “According to the calculation of 76 large-scale refinery companies in the country, the annual recoverable energy is 779.76 billion yuan, accounting for 4% of the national economy. It is estimated that the energy recovered from the entire petrochemical equipment can reach 1.2 trillion yuan, accounting for the national economy. The proportion can reach more than 6%."
