Representatives of 44 chemical industrial parks, including Shanghai Chemical Industry Park and Nanjing Chemical Industry Park, announced that they will start from a global perspective, aim at improving resource utilization and reducing waste discharge, and take environmental protection requirements as an important frontier for project introduction and production. Conditions, at the same time avoid the similar construction of products, projects and industrial chain and low-level redundant construction, strive to improve the level of public services in the park, and unswervingly fulfill their social responsibilities.
It is understood that the role and effect of energy conservation and emission reduction in chemical industry parks is very obvious. The experience of foreign chemical industry parks shows that the by-products and wastes of enterprises in the park are recycled and the waste emissions are reduced by about 30%. In 2007, the discharge of major pollutants from the chemical park in the domestic advanced level was close to the level of similar foreign parks; the energy consumption per million yuan of output value of the put-input enterprises in the park was 1.01 tons of standard coal, which was only the average energy consumption per million yuan of national oil and chemical industry half.
Li Shunxin, director of the Planning Division of the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that at present, China is in the stage of heavy chemical development, and the discharge of wastewater and solid pollutants in the petrochemical industry is at the forefront of industrial pollution. The task of achieving energy conservation and emission reduction targets is very difficult. Li Shouxin disclosed that currently the National Development and Reform Commission is drafting documents that will carry out an overall layout of the national industrial development zone. According to the three levels of urbanization, agriculture, and ecology, it is divided into overall development, partial development, restricted development, and banned development. In this way, the overall development area needs to increase emission indicators, prohibit development zones from shutting down and transfer to zero pollution, and make detailed provisions on the degree of development so as to curb the ecological and environmental deterioration from the source.
Zhao Jungui, vice president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association pointed out that at present, a large-scale, service-integrated new park with 10 million tons of oil refining and 1 million tons of ethylene equipment has emerged in China, such as Shanghai, Nanjing and Tianjin Binhai. Chemical parks such as Daya Bay and Quangang have also emerged a number of chemical parks featuring advantageous industries.

44 chemical parks pledged to create a harmonious park
On April 22, representatives from 44 chemical parks across the country signed the “2008 China Chemical Industry Park Development Forum and Chemical Park Environmental Management Integration International Forum†held in Shanghai and signed “Performing the Scientific Outlook on Development, Building Harmonious Ecology, The joint declaration of the “Environmental Protection and Safety Chemical Park†promises to work together to achieve the goal of energy-saving and emission reduction across the industry.
