"Carbon Peaking Implementation Plan for Industrial Sector" released

 On August 1, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Carbon Peaking in the Industrial Sector, proposing six key tasks and two key actions
.
In the carbon peaking action of key industries, the "Plan" emphasizes the formulation of carbon peaking implementation plans for petrochemical and chemical industries to reduce carbon emission intensity and control carbon emissions
.

The six key tasks proposed in the "Plan" include in-depth adjustment of industrial structure, in-depth promotion of energy conservation and carbon reduction, active promotion of green manufacturing, vigorous development of circular economy, and acceleration of industrial green and low-carbon technological transformation
.
The two major actions include the action of peaking in key industries and the action of improving the supply of green and low-carbon products
.

Among them, in the peak action of key industries, the "Plan" is aimed at the peak action of the petrochemical and chemical industry, and proposes to enhance the supply capacity of natural gas, ethane, propane and other raw materials, and increase the proportion of low-carbon raw materials
.
Reasonably control the scale of coal-based oil and gas production capacity
.
Promote the application of technical equipment such as direct cracking of crude oil to produce ethylene and a new generation of ion-exchange membrane electrolyzers
.
Develop technologies for producing high-value chemicals from renewable energy
.

The "Plan" requires that by 2025, "reducing oil and increasing chemical" will make positive progress, the proportion of refined oil production in new refining and chemical integration projects in crude oil processing will be reduced to less than 40%, and the deployment of large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage industries will be accelerated.
Demonstration project
.
By 2030, short-process synthesis technologies such as one-step synthesis of olefins and ethanol from synthesis gas will be applied on a large scale
.

Among the six key tasks proposed in the "Plan", in terms of adjusting the industrial structure, it is required to resolutely curb the blind development of high-energy-consuming, high-emission, and low-level projects, and implement the planning and layout plan for the petrochemical industry
.
Focus on controlling fossil energy consumption, orderly promote the reduction and substitution of coal in petrochemical and chemical industries, develop modern coal chemical industry in a steady and orderly manner, and promote efficient and clean utilization of coal by quality and classification
.
Focus on key industries such as petrochemical and chemical industries, and improve green electricity price policies such as differential electricity prices and tiered electricity prices
.
Promote the implementation of systematic clean production transformation such as energy saving, water saving, material saving, pollution reduction, and carbon reduction in petrochemical, chemical, chemical raw materials and other industries
.

In the development of circular economy, it is proposed to promote the substitution of low-carbon raw materials, support the development of biomass chemical industry, and promote the diversification of petrochemical raw materials
.
At the same time, for the maintenance and upgrading needs of electromechanical equipment in petrochemical and chemical industries, 50 remanufacturing solution suppliers were cultivated and intelligent upgrades were implemented
.

In terms of industrial green and low-carbon technological transformation, the "Plan" requires that the petrochemical chemical industry, electrolytic aluminum and other industries should be the focus, focusing on key technologies such as low-carbon raw material substitution and short-process manufacturing, promoting production and manufacturing process innovation and equipment transformation, and reducing industrial process greenhouses.
gas emissions
.
At the same time, focusing on petrochemical and chemical industries and other industries, implement technology demonstration projects such as deep decarbonization of production processes, industrial process reengineering, electrification transformation, and carbon dioxide recovery and recycling
.

In terms of promoting the digital transformation of the industrial field, the "Plan" requires strengthening the refined management of the whole process in the petrochemical and chemical industries, carrying out monitoring and evaluation of green energy consumption, and continuously increasing the construction of energy management and control centers
