On August 1, the "2024 Sino-foreign Petrochemical Green Development Academician Forum" of Liaoning Shihua University was successfully held in Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone. The forum is jointly guided by Liaoning Shihua University and Tianjin Binhai New Area People's Government, and undertaken by Binhai Petrochemical Industry Research Institute of Liaoning Shihua University and Tianjin Fine Chemical and New Materials Industry (Talent) Alliance.
More than 200 representatives from leading enterprises in the petrochemical field at home and abroad, such as Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, Sinochem, Bohua, Sino-Russian Oriental Petrochemical, Tongyan, Lianlong, Capchem, Capchem, etc., as well as representatives of key universities in Tianjin, gathered in TEDA to discuss new technologies, new ideas and new paths for the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry under the situation and trend of global energy internationalization, raw material diversification, low-carbon process and industrial chain globalization.
At the forum, Professor Qian Jianhua, President of Liaoning Shihua University, delivered a speech that in 2021, Liaoning Shihua University cooperated with Binhai New Area and Tianjin Economic Development Zone to jointly establish Binhai Petrochemical Industry Research Institute. In the past four years of operation, the institute has given full play to the advantages of Tianjin's policies, industries and location, as well as its own advantages in disciplines, scientific research and talents, and has achieved tangible results in the integration of in-service and general education, industry and education, science and education, and the promotion of school-local cooperation. The Academician Forum on the Green Development of the Petrochemical Industry at Home and Abroad aims to gather the wisdom of well-known experts at home and abroad, accelerate the breakthrough of technological bottlenecks in the industry, accelerate the application and development of achievements, and is of great significance to promote scientific and technological innovation, integration of industry and education, talent training, and accelerate the cultivation of new quality productivity in the field of education.
Hong Shicong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone, delivered a speech at the forum, saying that the forum is the first international, high-end and characteristic high-level academician forum organized by the Petrochemical Industry Research Institute of Liaoning Shihua University after settling in TEDA. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone, and the theme of the forum is "Gathering the Wisdom of Chinese and Foreign Experts and Promoting the Green Development of Petrochemicals", which is timely and of great significance. As one of the four pillar industries of the Economic Development Zone, the green petrochemical industry takes Nangang Industrial Zone as the main position, adheres to the development concept of high-end, refined, green, safe and intelligent, and has implemented a number of major industrial projects such as 1.2 million tons of ethylene in Sinopec Nangang and 1.8 million tons of methanol to olefins in Bohua Group, and has introduced a number of scientific research achievements innovation and transformation bases such as Sinopec, Sinochem and PPG at a high level, and a world-class green chemical new material base of 100 billion yuan is rising strongly in Bohai Bay. In the next step, the Economic and Technological Development Zone will continue to lead industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, deploy innovation chains around industrial chains such as new chemical materials and high-end fine chemicals, accelerate the centralized agglomeration of petrochemical science and technology innovation resources, and build Nangang Industrial Zone into a highland for innovative R&D and achievement transformation in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.
The forum gathered six industry authoritative academicians and experts, including Academician Maximov of the Russia Academy of Sciences, Academician Zagfarov of the Russia Academy of Natural Sciences, Academician Hu Yongkang of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Academician Xu Chunming of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dr. Dementiev, Deputy Director of the Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis of the Russia Academy of Sciences, and Fan Xianxian, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry of the United Kingdom Dynasty. Share the latest progress and achievements of the chemical industry, and bring an academic feast to the guests.
Academician Maksimov of the Russia Academy of Sciences made a report on "New Petrochemical Processes: From Traditional Technologies to Carbon Dioxide Conversion and Polymer Chemical Recovery", detailing the new catalysts used in a series of processes such as oil refining, natural gas and petrochemical, industrial organic synthesis, biorefining, hydrogen production, and carbon dioxide utilization.
Xu Chunming, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, made a report on "Thinking on the Green and Low-carbon Development of Refining and Chemical Industry in the Context of Carbon Neutrality", which deeply analyzed the opportunities for green and low-carbon economic development in combination with the actual situation, and set off a brainstorming of science and technology and industry, which inspired the participants.
Academician Zagfarov of the Russia Academy of Natural Sciences published a report on "World Trends in the Deep Processing of Hydrocarbon Gases", detailing the efficient conversion and utilization of fossil resources, the direct recycling of carbon dioxide and the development of related technologies.
Hu Yongkang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, made a report on "Developing New Productive Forces to Promote the High-quality Development of the Mainland's Petrochemical Industry", which introduced in detail General Secretary Xi Jinping's important theory on the development of new productive forces, and explained the important guiding significance of the new productive forces for the transformation and upgrading of the mainland's petroleum and chemical industry and high-quality development.
In addition, Dr. Dementiev, Deputy Director of the Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis of the Russia Academy of Sciences, gave a report on "Progress in the Research and Development of Refining and Petrochemical Catalysts of the Russia Academy of Sciences". Fan Xianxian, a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry of United Kingdom, gave a keynote report on "CO₂ Solar Thermal Collaborative Conversion and Thermochemical Energy Storage". The participants said that the forum was full of content and dry goods, and everyone had a deeper understanding and understanding of the research and application in the field of petrochemical industry under the new situation through the forum.
In order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the district, vigorously carry forward and inherit the spirit of TEDA, further promote Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone to stand at a new starting point, undertake new missions, and recast new brilliance, gather the strong joint force of building a modern TEDA, and contribute to TEDA's strength in writing a chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Tianjin, Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone organized an essay collection activity with the theme of "My TEDA Love - The 40th Anniversary of the Establishment of Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone". We sincerely invite people from all walks of life who care about and support the economic and social development of Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone to actively participate, not only have the opportunity to win exquisite gifts, but also the excellent works will be compiled into a book and printed as a souvenir.
