Current status and countermeasures of China's ethylene industrial chain
Ethylene,as one of the cornerstones in the chemical industry,boasts a wide range of downstream applications.In the context of globally accelerating energy transition,increasingly stringent environmental protection standards,frequent industrial upgrading waves,and the in-depth implementation of China's supply-side structural reform,China's ethylene industrial chain is undergoing significant transformation and reshaping.This paper summarizes the current status of China's ethylene industrial chain,and analyzes its development trends from three aspects such as policy,demand,and supply.With the deepening of the"oil-to-chemicals"transformation and refining-chemical integration,the industrial supply-demand layout has undergone fundamental changes.The ethylene industrial chain is generally transitioning towards diversifying raw materials(to reduce production cost)and upgrading products(to enhance product added value).In the upstream,the proportion of ethane/mixed light hydrocarbon cracking methods is gradually increasing,while in the downstream,more ethylene is being used to produce high-end chemical materials such as polyolefin elastomer,ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and photovoltaic-grade ethylene-vinyl acetate.Furthermore,this paper proposes some development suggestions for the transformation and upgrading of China's ethylene industrial chain from four aspects,including industrial layout,enterprise transformation,technological innovation,and international development.
