This includes promoting the completion of more than five major petrochemical projects that are under construction by the end of 2024. Current key projects under construction include Shandong Yulong Petrochemical, Liaoning Panjin Fine Chemicals, ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene, BASF Zhanjiang Ethylene, Zhenhai Petrochemical Phase II Expansion, and SABIC Gulei Ethylene.
Based on this, the Plan also called for demonstrations of new mega petrochemical projects, while pushing forward a batch of Oil-to-petchem conversion projects; alongside increasing efforts in technological transition, energy-saving, and carbon-reducing renovations. Measures to reach benchmark energy efficiency levels and Grade A-level in environmental protection performance are needed, and outdated capacities should be phased out. Regarding fiscal policy, optimization will be applied to consumption tax refund for naphtha used as raw materials.
