CPPCC members called for the abolition of import tariffs as soon as ethylene

Chem366 - ethylene petrochemical industry is the most important basic raw materials, synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, synthetic plastics , synthetic ethanol basic chemical raw materials , as well as vinyl chloride, styrene , ethylene oxide , acetic acid, acetaldehyde , ethanol, etc.Sellotape

important raw material products . With the rapid economic and social development , China's demand for ethylene derivatives market products is also growing, ethylene extension of industry affects the downstream industry annual output of up to several thousand yuan, annual output value of the contribution of the industry to extend trillion . China's ethylene industry in the past 10 years to achieve leapfrog development . Have a number of megaton ethylene plant construction and commissioning , the 2011 National ethylene production reached 15.275 million tons , China has become the world's second largest after the U.S. ethylene producer. Although the domestic ethylene capacity increasing, but still can not meet the domestic demand for ethylene rapid growth. In 2005 , China's ethylene production 7.555 million tons , equivalent consumption of 18.76 million tons ,

equivalent self-sufficiency rate is only 40.3% . 2010 ethylene production reached 14.19 million tons , equivalent self-sufficiency rate is only 47.9% , in 2012 equivalent self-sufficiency rate dropped to 47.5% . Still dependent on imports to meet demand . Thus , in recent years, China's ethylene imports more and more active , maintain a rapid upward trend in imports . 2011 domestic ethylene imports reached 1.06 million tons , in 2012 imports to new highs , reaching 1.422 million tons , in 2013 reached 1.704 million tons . The next few years , China's import demand for ethylene will rise further. Expansion of China's ethylene imports has a very important and broadest sense . First, help to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and risk. China's imports of crude oil for a considerable part of the production of ethylene cracking , resulting in our dependence on foreign oil continues to rise , in 2013 had reached 61%. Second, China's chemical industry is conducive to energy conservation . Ethylene is a high energy-consuming industries , expanding ethylene imports , after an important path of energy conservation . Third, it helps to optimize the allocation of resources ethylene , ethylene extended to enhance the competitiveness of China's industries . By light hydrocarbon resource constraints , China's ethylene cracker feedstock naphtha and condensate oil-based ethylene production capacity of about 85% based on naphtha as raw material, raw material quality , Masking tape

but the cost is high , so that the high cost and lack of ethylene downstream benefits and competitiveness. In contrast, the Middle East and North ethylene cracker feedstock used , the proportion of light hydrocarbons up to 50% , and low cost of ethylene , Washi tape

ethylene extension of industrial competitiveness has also improved significantly. Ethylene as an energy resource-based products , our country from 2006 to 2010 has been the implementation of zero import tariff standards to encourage imports. However , in 2011 the country will be transferred to a 2% import duty vinyl , and with crude oil, liquefied natural gas , natural gas and other gaseous products of the rate of energy resources is still zero. Currently, the global trend of lightweight vinyl material , so that our petroleum cracking as the main raw material of ethylene and ethylene route extends industry under increasing challenge . For this reason , we recommend that the Ministry of Finance , Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs from the national petrochemical industry safety , economic, environmental and competitiveness will also be considered , as soon as the vinyl products ( tariff number : 29012100 ) raised import tariffs to zero, that is, to cancel our ethylene import tariffs. This will effectively promote the healthy development of China's ethylene downstream industry.Wholesale masking tape
