“欽州完全具備打造國家級石化產業基地的條件,期盼國家支持欽州打造國家級石化產業基地、期盼各位企業家積極參與欽州石化產業發展。”在2020中國—東盟石油和化工國際合作論壇開幕大會上,廣西欽州市市長譚丕創這樣表達了欽州打造面向東盟的世界級石化基地的懇切期盼和雄心壯志。
近年來,中國在東部沿海地區重點布局七大石化基地,為京津冀協同發展、長江經濟帶、粵港澳大灣區等國家戰略實施提供了強有力的支撐,但國家級石化產業基地在西部地區還是空白。欽州的期盼和雄心背后,是十多年來綠色石化產業的迅速發展。
從無到有,欽州石化產業打下堅實基礎
欽州地處廣西北部灣經濟區的中心位置,是中國中南、西南、西北地區最便捷的出海通道,區位優勢顯著。浙江恒逸集團有限公司總裁倪德峰在2005年就注意到了欽州優越的區位,“不過從客觀角度講,那時長三角地區的市場更成熟。”直到2019年,浙江恒逸集團才主動到欽州,投資超過400億元,打造 “一帶一路”跨區域合作及面向東盟的高端綠色化工化纖一體化項目,以實際行動為欽州石化產業發展投了一票。
改變始于2008年,中國國務院批復實施《廣西北部灣經濟區發展規劃》,明確提出“建設欽州大型煉油基地,發展原油加工等石化產業”。隨即,欽州就把石化產業作為第一支柱產業,并規劃建設欽州石化產業園。經過十多年的培育、發展,欽州石化產業不僅有了“從無到有”的突破,還實現了“從小到大”的轉變。
2010年,中石油廣西石化千萬噸煉油等一批石化項目投產后,欽州就具備了1300萬噸煉油能力。近年來,又成功引進上海華誼集團、浙江桐昆集團、浙江恒逸集團等世界級知名化工企業落戶投資,從單一龍頭到多個龍頭,初步形成“一滴油兩根絲”的高端綠色化纖產業布局,構建起了全國獨有的“油、煤、氣、鹽”多元化石化產業體系。預計到2025年,欽州石化產業將累計完成投資超過3000億元,產值突破3000億元。
伴隨石化產業的發展,欽州還打造了完善的產業配套。作為中國首批循環化改造示范試點園區,欽州石化產業園的路網、供水供電、蒸汽、工業管廊、污水和危廢處置、深海排放管道、化工碼頭等產業配套日臻完善,高標準的安全生產應急救援基地也在加快建設。特別是近兩年來,荷蘭孚寶、法國蘇伊士、美國普萊克斯等全球頂尖公用工程配套商相繼落戶,欽州石化產業園構建起了供給質量優、要素保障全、專業化水平高的產業配套體系。憑借產業體系和產業配套的日益完善,2020年,欽州石化產業園入圍中國石化園區20強。
此外,通過積極建設港口型國家級物流樞紐承載城市和西部陸海新通道國際門戶港,欽州還為石化產業發展提供了港口和物流通道的強大支撐。上海華誼集團股份有限公司副總裁陳大勝將今天的欽州評為石化產業發展的“黃金區”,因為石化產業運輸量大,在欽州布局石化生產基地,對內可以輻射中國的西部和粵港澳地區,對外可以更快通達東盟甚至歐洲。
“欽州現已成為了中國西南地區最大的能源化工基地,為打造面向東盟的世界級石化產業基地打下了堅實的基礎。”譚丕創說道。
中國與東盟石化產業合作發展中的欽州機遇
“雖然目前欽州在石化下游的紡織產業方面還存在短板,但其實產業的集聚是很快的。我相信再過5~8年,欽州不僅僅會成為中國新的石化產業基地,也會成為面向東盟石化市場的一個橋頭堡。”倪德峰在石化合作論壇上表達了對欽州石化產業未來發展的堅強信心。
倪德峰的信心并非沒有根據。實際上,近年來,欽州通過“一港兩區”建設,有效促進了臨港產業的發展。就綠色化工而言,目前已開工的項目總投資已經達到2000億;2020年1~10月,中國(廣西)自由貿易試驗區欽州港片區完成的固定資產投資已經超過了90億元人民幣,增速達到了153%,石化相關產業已經有加速聚集的趨勢。
譚丕創表示,欽州市坐擁靠近東盟國家市場的獨特區位,盡享中國高層次開放平臺的優勢政策,石化產品需求也持續增加,打造面向東盟的世界級石化產業基地有巨大機遇。
而尤為關鍵的是,欽州打造面向東盟的世界級石化產業基地不單是一句豪言壯語,而已有了清晰的“路線圖”:
其一,是向產業高端化、精細化發展。恒逸、桐昆、華誼等企業的一批重大項目將在未來三年陸續投產,有效增強欽州石化產業園的基礎原料保障能力。欽州將乘勢而上,爭取加快形成高性能樹脂、特種合成橡膠、高性能纖維、專用化學品、功能化學品等具有國際競爭力的綠色高端化工新材料產業集群,同時推動石化產業從臨港核心區域逐步向周邊園區延伸,輻射帶動下游紡織服裝、包裝、涂料、建材等傳統產業及高端裝備、電子、制藥等新興產業發展。此外,還將加強與周邊高校的戰略合作,開展“訂單式”人才聯合培養,提供強有力的人才支撐。
其二,是向園區綠色化、智慧化發展。綠色化發展方面,欽州將推動法國蘇伊士危廢處置、深海排放管道等項目盡快建成投運,同時將開工建設國投電廠三期4臺66萬千瓦熱電機組,“十四五”期間園區供熱能力將超過5000噸/小時。智慧化發展方面,加快建設欽州港應急救援指揮中心、水陸消防站等重要配套設施,搭建安全生產、環境保護、應急處置、防災減災、交通物流、能源供應等功能聯動的一體化智慧管理平臺。
其三,是向合作區域化、國際化發展。欽州將有序承接國內外高端產業轉移,發展面向東盟及西南地區的紡織服裝、包裝、涂料等下游產業,支持行業龍頭、先進技術、高端人才“引進來”和優勢產品“走出去”,積極打造中國—東盟合作示范區。同時,將與中國石油和化學工業聯合會等行業權威機構進一步深化戰略合作,爭取在欽州舉辦石化產業發展大會、中國化工園區與產業發展論壇等有關活動,把欽州打造成為石化行業深化交流合作平臺。
“RCEP的簽署和中國—東盟自貿區升級版的打造,將為欽州當前和今后的發展注入新動力。欽州應進一步整合中馬‘兩國雙園、中國(廣西)自貿試驗區欽州港片區等平臺資源,在打造中國—東盟自貿區‘綠色通道、增進區域合作、促進經貿往來中發揮更重要的作用。”北京大學國際關系學院教授、中國東南亞研究會副會長翟崑這樣說道。
“Qinzhou is fully equipped with the conditions to build a national petrochemical industry base. We hope that the state will support Qinzhou in building a national petrochemical industry base, and that entrepreneurs will actively participate in the development of Qinzhou petrochemical industry.” At the opening meeting of 2020 China-ASEAN Petroleum and Chemical Forum for International Cooperation, Tan Pichuang, Mayor of Qinzhou of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, expressed his earnest expectation and ambition to build a world-class petrochemical base facing ASEAN.
Behind Qinzhous expectation and ambition is the rapid development of green petrochemical industry in the past ten years.
From scratch, Qinzhou petrochemical industry has laid a solid foundation
Qinzhou is located in the center of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, which is the most convenient access to the sea in south central, southwest and northwest China. “But objectively speaking, at that time, the market in Yangtze River Delta was more mature,” said Ni Defeng, CEO of Zhejiang Hengyi Group Co., Ltd., who noticed Qinzhous superior location in 2005. In 2009, Zhejiang Hengyi Group went to Qinzhou, invested more than RMB 40 billion yuan and established cross-regional cooperation under the Belt and Road and high-end green chemical and chemical fiber integration project facing ASEAN, contributing to the development of Qinzhou petrochemical industry with practical action.
Change began to happen in 2008. The State Council of China approved the implementation of the Development Plan for Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, which clearly proposed “building large-scale oil refining base in Qinzhou and developing petrochemical industries such as crude oil processing”. Then, Qinzhou took petrochemical industry as the first pillar industry and planned to build Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park. After more than ten years of cultivation and development, Qinzhou petrochemical industry has not only made a breakthrough from scratch, but also realized the transformation from small to large in scale.
In addition, Qinzhou has also provided a strong support for the development of petrochemical industry by actively building a port type national logistics hub to bear the city and the International Gateway Port of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor. Chen Dasheng, Vice President of Shanghai Huayi Group Co., Ltd., regarded todays Qinzhou as a golden area for the development of petrochemical industry. Because of the large transportation volume of petrochemical industry, the layout of petrochemical production base in Qinzhou can radiate the western China and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Area, and can reach ASEAN and even Europe more quickly.
In 2010, after a batch of petrochemical projects with 10 million tons of oil refining of PetroChina Guangxi Petrochemical Company were put into operation, Qinzhou boasted the capacity to refine 13 million tons of oil. In recent years, Shanghai Huayi Group, Zhejiang Tongkun Group, Zhejiang Hengyi Group and other world-class well-known chemical enterprises have been successfully introduced to invest in Qinzhou. From boasting one leading enterprise to multiple ones, Qinzhou has initially formed a high-end green chemical fiber industrial layout and constructed a unique diversified petrochemical industry system featuring “oil, coal, gas and salt”. It is estimated that by 2025, the total investment of Qinzhou petrochemical industry will exceed RMB 300 billion yuan, and the output value will exceed RMB 300 billion yuan.
Along with the development of petrochemical industry, Qinzhou has also built a complete set of industries. With the increasing improvement of industrial system and industrial support, Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park in 2020 was listed among the top 20 petroleum parks in China.
“Qinzhou has become the largest energy and chemical industry base in southwest China, laying a solid foundation for building a world-class petrochemical industry base facing ASEAN,” said Tan Pichuang.
Qinzhous opportunity in the development of China-ASEAN petrochemical industry cooperation
“Although there are still some shortcomings in Qinzhous textile industry, a downstream petrochemical industry, the industrial agglomeration is very fast. I believe that in five to eight years, Qinzhou will not only become Chinas new petrochemical industry base, but also become a bridgehead for ASEAN petrochemical markets,” Ni Defeng expressed strong confidence in the future development of Qinzhou petrochemical industry at the China-ASEAN Petroleum and Chemical Forum for International Cooperation.
Nis confidence is not groundless. In fact, in recent years, Qinzhou has effectively promoted the development of port industry through the construction of “one port, two districts”. As far as green chemical industry is concerned, the total investment of projects under construction has reached RMB 200 billion yuan; From January to October 2020, the investment in fixed assets completed by Qinzhou Port Area of China (Guangxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone has exceeded RMB 9 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 153%. Petrochemical related industries have the tendency to gather and accelerate.
Tan Pichuang said that having the unique location of closing to ASEAN markets, Qinzhou enjoys the advantages of Chinas high-level open platforms. Its demand for petrochemical products continued to increase, indicating that there is a great opportunity to build a world-class petrochemical industrial base facing ASEAN.
Whats more, Qinzhou has a clear “road map” to build such a base.
First, developing high-end and refined industries. A number of major projects of Hengyi, Tongkun, Huayi and other enterprises will be put into operation in the next three years, effectively enhancing the basic raw material support capacity of Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park. Qinzhou will take advantage of the situation and strive to accelerate the formation of green high-end industrial cluster of new chemical materials with international competitiveness, such as high-performance resin, special synthetic rubber, high-performance fiber, special chemicals and functional chemicals. Meanwhile, it will promote the petrochemical industry to gradually extend from core areas to surrounding parks, and radiate and drive downstream traditional industries such as textile and clothing, packaging, coating and building materials, and emerging industries such as high-end equipment, electronics, and pharmaceutical. In addition, it will strengthen strategic cooperation with surrounding colleges and universities, carry out joint training of talents, and provide strong talent support.
Second, developing green and intelligent parks. In terms of green development, Qinzhou will promote the completion and operation of hazardous waste disposal and deep-sea discharge pipeline projects in Suez, France as soon as possible. Meanwhile, it will start the construction of four 660MW thermal power units in the third phase of SDIC power plant. In terms of intelligent development, Qinzhou will speed up the construction of its port emergency rescue command center, water and land fire station and other important supporting facilities, and build an integrated intelligent management platform with the function of safety production, environmental protection, emergency response, disaster prevention and mitigation, transportation and logistics, and energy supply.
Third, developing regional and international cooperation. Qinzhou will orderly undertake the transfer of high-end industries at home and abroad, develop downstream industries such as textile and clothing, packaging and coating, support the “bringing” of leading enterprises, advanced technology and high-end talents and the “going out” of advantageous products, and actively build a demonstration zone for China-ASEAN cooperation. At the same time, it will further deepen strategic cooperation with China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation and other authoritative organizations, strive to hold petrochemical industry development conference, China chemical industry park and industrial development forum, and other related activities in Qinzhou, so as to build Qinzhou into a platform for deepening exchanges and cooperation in petrochemical industry.
