Petroleum and chemical industry will take substantive steps in structural adjustment

In 2009, the structural adjustment of the chemical industry was thunderous. However, the pace of industry restructuring is not in tune with the continuing rise in industry concerns. Under the pressure of the international financial crisis, the chemical industry structure adjustment was mentioned to an unprecedented height in 2009. Both the national level and the industry level have intensively introduced some policies and measures to adjust the industrial structure and eliminate backward production capacity, even 2009 will be identified as the “structural adjustment year” for the chemical industry.
Whether it is the "Planning and Revitalization Plan for the Petrochemical Industry" or the "Guidelines for Structural Adjustment of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry" or the issuance of access conditions for a number of industries, this series of policies and measures are centered on the sustainability of the petroleum and chemical industries. The important theme of development - structural adjustment. The background of the international financial crisis has given deeper meaning to this major theme.
In the surplus industry that was named by the government several times in 2009, coal chemical industry and polysilicon ranked among the top six surplus industries. In addition, "triacids and alkalis", calcium carbide, yellow phosphorus, tires, nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, pesticides, methanol and other industries also have excess problems to varying degrees. Contrary to the surplus, the operating rate of the PVC industry is low, the soda industry expects serious losses in the entire industry, the traditional coal chemical industry repeated overcapacity by 30%, and the methanol industry operating rate is less than half.....and the product structure is irrational. The decentralized layout, the inability to independently innovate, the increasingly constrained resources and environment, and so on, severely restrict the sustainable development of the chemical industry.
Frozen feet are not cold in a day. There are many reasons for the irrational industrial structure. One of the important points is that China has blindly sought to increase the total amount for many years. Traditional chemical projects are often low in threshold, large in investment, and mostly large in output. Therefore, they have become a hot spot for local governments to create “political achievements”. Even today, driven by GDP growth, some regions continue to develop large-scale projects such as chemical fertilizers, chlor-alkali, polyvinyl chloride, calcium carbide, and methanol, regardless of the fact that domestic production capacity has become surplus. As a result, the backward production capacity to be eliminated today is mostly local. Breadwinner. Some experts believe that for today’s industries with excess capacity and unreasonable structure, industry authorities, industry policy issuing agencies, and local governments all have unshirkable responsibilities.
It is gratifying to note that under the guidance of the national policy package, with the joint efforts of the entire industry, remarkable progress has been made in the adjustment of the petrochemical industry structure in 2009. For example, the calcium carbide industry eliminated 466,600 tons of backward production capacity in 2009, and the proportion of ion-exchange membrane caustic soda has reached 53.4%, which is 9% higher than in 2008. Some petrochemical sub-sectors have increased their industrial concentration. For example, the sum of the capacity of the top 10 soda ash producers in the country has already accounted for 65% of the total capacity of the industry, and the trend of resource-based companies to concentrate raw material production areas and deep-processing enterprises to consumer destinations has become increasingly apparent.
In the new year, China's petroleum and chemical industries will enter a period of strategic transformation characterized by structural adjustment and industrial upgrading. Industry experts stated that the structural contradictions in our country are deep-seated and historically accumulated. It is not a five-year plan or two five-year plans that can be solved. Industrial restructuring is a long-term and complex task. In addition, the focus of eliminating obsolete production capacity should not be completely placed on shutting down, and more efforts should be devoted to establishing backward production capacity withdrawing mechanism, transferring labor employment, and guiding investment direction, so as to fundamentally realize the petrochemical industry industry. upgrade.
