Wanhua Chemical: Building a Globally Competitive New Chemical Materials Enterprise

Recently, six departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Petrochemical and Chemical Industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions").

At present, the global energy structure is deeply adjusted, and the diversification and international development of petrochemical raw materials have profoundly affected and changed the competitive landscape of the petrochemical industry

Wanhua Chemical is committed to developing into a globally competitive chemical new material enterprise.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Wanhua Chemical will deeply integrate key tasks such as improving the level of innovation and development, promoting industrial structure adjustment, and accelerating green and low-carbon development into the company's development strategy and decision-making arrangements to achieve high-level progress of the enterprise and promote high-quality development of the industry.

Perfecting the Innovation Mechanism and Promoting Technological Progress

The "Opinions" clearly stated that the innovation mechanism should be improved, the main role of enterprises in innovation should be strengthened, core technologies should be conquered, and the driving force for innovation and development should be enhanced

Wanhua Chemical has always taken the road of independent innovation unswervingly, adhering to the concept of independent innovation, continuously building the core competitiveness of enterprise growth, and has conquered a large number of core manufacturing technologies of new chemical materials with independent intellectual property rights

Overcome short-board products and optimize industrial organizations

Focusing on improving the supply quality of chemical products, the "Opinions" emphasize that the variety and specifications of materials such as polyurethane and polyamide should be increased, and the development of high-end polyolefins, electronic chemicals, bio-based materials and other products should be accelerated

After decades of continuous technological innovation and industrial iteration, Wanhua Chemical has formed a highly integrated industrial chain and highly integrated production of polyurethane, petrochemical, fine chemicals and new materials.

· In terms of polyurethane materials, continue to promote the upgrading of MDI technology and the stable and orderly development of the industry, expand the variety of polyurethane materials, and actively explore the market demand in new downstream areas of polyurethane, and increase the use of polyurethane in building insulation, pavement materials, wood-based panels and other new applications Development efforts in the field to meet the needs of consumption upgrades

· In terms of new chemical materials, carry out research on high-end polyolefins, high-performance engineering plastics, high-performance film materials, degradable plastics, electronic chemicals and other products, providing key points for strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new infrastructure, and high-end equipment manufacturing Material support

· In terms of fine chemicals, develop water-based surface materials, promote the water-based process of polymer surface materials in China in various fields such as building materials, industrial coatings, adhesives, and care, and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries; carry out research on the utilization of biomass resources , using corn starch, biological waste and natural oils as starting materials, through chemical conversion and biological fermentation technology to prepare a variety of bio-based chemicals

Explore low-carbon paths to achieve sustainable development

In order to implement the national "dual carbon" strategy, the "Opinions" propose to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in key areas of the industry in an orderly manner, and to coordinate the promotion of carbon emission reduction in the industrial chain; encourage the use of cleaner production technology and equipment to transform and upgrade, and promote the "reduction of industrial waste" from the source.

While conducting in-depth research on carbon reduction routes, Wanhua Chemical has formulated the company's carbon reduction goals, mainly taking carbon reduction measures such as the use of green electricity, waste heat recycling and coal gasification carbon recovery

· In terms of energy conservation and carbon reduction, increase the investment and application of clean energy, deploy new energy projects such as photovoltaics and wind power, and optimize the energy consumption structure of production; carry out energy integration of installations, deeply tap the potential of energy conservation, and adjust and react through the extraction and condensation ratio of turbines.

· In terms of carbon dioxide and resource recycling, develop sustainable development technologies such as carbon dioxide emission reduction and utilization technology, polyurethane foam and plastic recycling technology; carry out research on methane and carbon dioxide reforming to syngas and carbon dioxide to methanol, and produce syngas in the future The application of new technologies reduces the carbon emission of the park; the comprehensive treatment of solid waste technology in rotary kiln is adopted to produce commercial-grade cement from various industrial solid wastes in the park to realize the value utilization of waste

Wanhua Chemical will take the "Opinions" as a guide, earnestly deploy and implement, strengthen technological innovation and low-carbon development, focus on key products, optimize industrial layout, make breakthroughs in key technologies, realize large-scale applications, continue to improve sustainable development paths, and strengthen enterprises.
