21 local refinery companies in Shandong submit a report to the National Development and Reform Commission: We should also be qualified to operate ethanol gasoline

Not long ago, 21 local refinery companies in Shandong submitted the report to the National Development and Reform Commission through the Provincial Development and Reform Commission in the name of the Provincial Refining and Chemical Engineering Association, and strongly demanded the establishment of a local refinery ethanol gas distribution center. This is the first time that the two major groups have been challenged in Shandong. The bosses of the Shandong local oil refining companies that initiated the crackdown on the monopoly said that we have the ability to produce and have technology deployment. Why can't we produce and distribute ethanol gasoline?

It is understood that since 2001, China has begun pilot projects to promote ethanol gasoline in three provinces in Northeast China, Henan, Anhui, and Hubei, Jiangsu, Hebei, and Shandong. In the five years since the pilot began, the provisions for the deployment and supply of vehicle ethanol gas, and the construction of distribution centers are all covered by sales companies of Sinopec and PetroChina, and the component oils used in the deployment of ethanol gasoline are basically free of local refining. Enterprise products. Since the promotion of the use of ethanol-gasoline is a mandatory closure of government operations, all markets are monopolized by the two major groups, leaving no room for other ordinary gasoline production companies.

60% of refined oil products produced by Shandong local oil refineries are sold in the province, and others are sold to Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Hubei and Jiangsu. Since 2002, the Henan Province has fully implemented closed-end ethanol gasoline, Hebei, Hubei and Jiangsu are also piloting, their sales market has shrunk by 60% to 70%. From January 8 this year, Sinopec and PetroChina started the promotion of ethanol gasoline in seven cities in Jinan, Zaozhuang, Tai'an, Jining, Linyi, Liaocheng and Heze in Shandong Province. In this way, the major markets of local refinery companies in Shandong are covered by ethanol gasoline. These local companies do not have the right to deploy ethanol gasoline, which means that their refined oil will be no way to sell.

A person in charge of the Shandong Provincial Refining and Chemical Industry Association told the reporter: “The original sales channels of local refinery companies in the surrounding provinces and cities before 2006 had been severely hampered. Now the province has begun to promote the use of ethanol gasoline as a closed-end, if the local oil refining enterprises have no ethanol for a long time. With regard to the allocation of gasoline, according to the principle of fixed-point deployment and targeted circulation of ethanol gasoline, the local refinery’s petrol will have no way to sell, which will be a dead end for the company. Therefore, 21 members of the Shandong Provincial Refining and Chemical Industry Association have to pass the province. The National Development and Reform Commission submitted a report upwards, requesting the establishment of a local refinery ethanol gas distribution center."

When the reporter asked for confirmation that “the local oil refinery had the ability to produce component oils that do not produce ethanol gasoline and to blend ethanol gasoline”, the person in charge of the Shandong Provincial Refining and Chemical Industry Association affirmed that: Yes!

She listed three reasons. First, she had the qualification for wholesale sales of refined oil products. In September 2002, Shandong Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and Sinopec Shandong Petroleum Co., Ltd. jointly invested in the establishment of Shandong Zhonglian Petrochemical Co., Ltd., which was approved by the former State Economic and Trade Commission to become a wholesale and wholesale organization of refined oil products for Shandong local oil refining companies. A legitimate sales system. Second, the quality of refined oil produced by local refinery companies complies with national standards. In recent years, in order to reduce the sulfur content and olefin content, these companies have successively launched hydrogenation devices for the pretreatment of catalytic raw materials, hydrogenation refining of gasoline and diesel oil, and gasoline etherification, etc., and adopt advanced technologies to improve production processes to ensure product quality. Provide equipment and technical support. The third is that the environmental protection measures are fully up to standard. The sewage discharge of local refinery companies in Shandong has reached the Class A standard of the State's Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard for the petroleum refining industry.

"There is no reason to exclude these companies from the market for ethanol gasoline." The official said.

According to report, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission has reported to the National Development and Reform Commission the report of Shandong local refinery companies requesting the establishment of an ethanol gasoline distribution center.
