The Central Economic Work Conference made arrangements-raw material energy consumption is not included in the total energy consumption control

The Central Economic Work Conference was held in Beijing on December 8-10

Li Yongliang, deputy director of the Industry Development Department of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, said in an interview with reporters on December 13 that the petrochemical and chemical industries accounted for 70% of the country’s total energy consumption of raw materials.

Li Yongliang analyzed that a major energy use feature of the petrochemical and chemical industries is that some energy sources, including coal, oil, and natural gas, are used as raw materials

Li Yongliang said that the implementation of "dual control" of energy consumption is an important institutional arrangement to promote energy conservation and consumption reduction and promote high-quality development

Li Yongliang reminded that the New Deal will protect the energy consumption of raw materials necessary for the industry

Zheng Li, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tianji Group Sales Company, stated that the purpose of the new energy consumption "dual control" policy is to control carbon emissions under the premise of ensuring development, and to provide precise incentives for the high-quality development of enterprises and the realization of pollution reduction and carbon reduction based on results

Zhu Jianmin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Oak Holding Group, told reporters that in the past year, some regions have indeed restricted the application of some green and low-carbon technologies, such as the construction of carbon dioxide resource utilization projects, due to one-sided pursuit of energy consumption and carbon reduction targets

Some chemical companies said that the essence of the New Deal is to distinguish between fuels and raw materials, to eliminate the “one size fits all” of fossil energy, to prevent the normal demand for energy raw materials from being affected by the “dual control” of energy consumption, and to encourage all terminals The use of renewable energy in the field of energy consumption is another important decision of the Party Central Committee to successfully achieve the "dual carbon" goal

The person in charge of the company also mentioned that the coal chemical industry does not distinguish between fuel coal and raw coal, and the "one size fits all" reduction in the total amount of coal used has doubled the pressure on the company.
