In the context of"carbon dioxide emission peaking and carbon neutrality",China's refining and chemical enterprises in coastal regions can utilize their location advantages to achieve overall energy optimization of the enterprise itself and related projects within the region by trans-industries coupling with nearby coastal production or utility facilities,including seawater desalination facility,nuclear power station,salt production facility from seawater,and commercial LNG storage projects.As the coastal refinery and chemical enterprises formulate transformation and development plans,on the one hand,they should combine regional salt resources to construct chlor alkali project and downstream chlorine-containing chemicals chain;On the other hand,the enterprises could also further extend the downstream industrial chain of green chemical products,and achieve a more diversified and differentiated low-carbon transformation development plan from the perspective of intensive utilization of new energy,i.e.,green electricity is directly utilized,hydrogen is produced from electrolysis of water by green electricity,green hydrogen and green oxygen are produced from electrolysis of seawater by green electricity,and green hydrogen is used to produce green ammonia,green methanol and other green chemical products.
