Shaanxi raises the threshold for energy conservation and carbon reduction in high-energy-consuming industries

Recently, the "Shaanxi Province High Energy Consumption Industry Key Areas Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Implementation Plan" was issued
.

There are 8 key tasks identified in the Plan, which are to clarify the key areas of high-energy-consuming industries; Establishment of a catalogue of enterprise energy efficiency lists; Classification promotes project bidding and effectiveness; Encourage enterprises to implement transformation and upgrading; Promote the withdrawal of backward production capacity in accordance with laws and regulations; Formulate technical transformation implementation plans; Steadily promote the technological transformation of enterprises; Promote the optimization and adjustment
of the industrial structure.

In terms of clarifying the key areas of high-energy-consuming industries, the "Plan" proposes to implement and orderly promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries, and the first batch focuses on the key industries of iron and steel, petrochemical and chemical industry with relatively high energy efficiency consumption, relatively mature transformation conditions, and obvious demonstration and driving role, including petroleum coal and other fuel processing industries (involving oil refining, coal-to-coke, coal-to-methanol, coal-to-olefins, coal-to-ethylene glycol, etc.

In terms of promoting the withdrawal of backward production capacity in accordance with laws and regulations, the Plan emphasizes that new refining projects should implement capacity reduction and replacement
.

New calcium carbide projects should implement the same amount of capacity or reduced replacement
.

The organic chemical raw material manufacturing industry should strictly prohibit the construction of new naphtha cracking and ethylene production equipment
of less than 800,000 tons/year.
