&"Shandong is in a hurry" is one of the hottest keywords this year.
Recently, the National Bureau of statistics released the economic operation in the first three quarters. Shandong's GDP of 6.23 trillion yuan continued to rank the third in the country, but the growth rate was only 5.4%, lagging behind other major economic provinces.
Yes, Shandong continues to be the third in a row, but the superficial scenery can't hide the frustration behind it. Facing the running of Guangdong and Jiangsu, the gap between Shandong and the two big brothers is getting farther and farther. Obviously, the lack of industrial growth is the biggest factor affecting Shandong's economy. As the largest economic town in northern China, the success of Shandong's transformation is related to the entire northern economy The rise of economy.
Expert analysis pointed out that the slowdown of Shandong's economic growth is related to its active energy reduction and elimination of backward production capacity. At present, we should not only focus on "energy reduction", but also focus on high-end high-quality and efficient project investment and cultivate new momentum for development. As a pillar industry in Shandong, the chemical industry is experiencing "Phoenix Nirvana";.

The data shows that there were once more than 9000 chemical production enterprises in Shandong Province, most of which were small and scattered.
Since 2017, 620 chemical enterprises have been shut down and 2614 have been shut down for rectification. Among the 6094 chemical production enterprises that have completed the rating evaluation, 2354 have poor rating enterprises, of which 1334 have publicly withdrawn.
At present, Shandong is making great efforts to reduce the capacity of high energy consuming industries such as coking, refining, tire, fertilizer, chlor alkali, etc.
At the special meeting on promoting the work of "four reductions and four increases" held on October 23, Gong Zheng, governor of Shandong Province, stressed that "reduction substitution is the normal, equal substitution is the exception, the hero of the theory of per mu yield and benefit, and safety and environmental protection keep the bottom line", and demanded that 37 million tons of coal consumption, over 16 million tons of coking capacity, and 5 million tons / year and below of refining enterprises should be reduced this year and next year The production capacity will be transferred in an orderly and batch manner, and the annual processing capacity of refined crude oil in the province will be reduced from 130 million tons to 90 million tons.
Liu Bing, President of Shandong Academy of macroeconomics, thinks that in the long run, it is worth using development speed for space of structural adjustment and improvement of development quality. Shandong is in the "empty cage period" of the transformation of new and old kinetic energy. Some backward production capacity has been eliminated. The cultivation of emerging industries needs a process.
Shandong is also developing high-end chemical industry;. There are 83 high-end chemical projects, with a total investment of more than 500 billion yuan, which are mainly concentrated in the fields of petrochemical deep processing, new chemical materials and fine chemicals.
A number of 10 billion level major projects, such as 1 million tons / year ethylene of Wanhua chemical and 2 million tons / year p-xylene of Weilian chemical, are being pushed forward. The Yulong Island refining and chemical integration project (phase I) with an investment of 100 billion yuan is also expected to start construction within the year.
&Bull; & nbsp; & nbsp; Wanhua chemical: in order to build the chemical manufacturing base with the most competitive advantage in the world and enhance the international popularity of Wanhua brand, Wanhua chemical group, relying on the industrial advantages of Yantai Chemical Park, invests 16.8 billion yuan to build a new 1 million tons / year ethylene project, which will become the largest ethylene production base in Shandong Province after completion.
&Bull; & nbsp; & nbsp; Weilian chemical: the total investment of the project is 11.4 billion yuan, with a total scale of 2 million tons / year of p-xylene to be implemented. The project is divided into two series, i.e. 1 × aromatics combined unit and 2 × aromatics combined unit. Each series has a production scale of 1 million tons / year of p-xylene, and two series of units are built synchronously.
&Bull; & nbsp; & nbsp; Yulong Island refining and chemical integration project: (phase I) it is planned to build 20 million tons / year crude oil processing capacity, 2 sets of 1.5 million tons / year ethylene plants and supporting polyethylene, polypropylene, aromatics and other devices. ...
According to the data from Shandong chemical special action office, 2 / 3 of chemical enterprises have invested in upgrading. The goal of the province is to increase the added value of high-end chemical industry by about 10% annually by 2022, and increase the proportion of chemical industry from 20% to 35%.
It is believed that the completion of these high-end chemical projects will promote the economic development of Shandong.
