Upward pressure on electricity prices to increase chemical operations

November 19, the National Development and Reform Commission announced that starting this month on the 20th national non-residential electricity prices an average of 0.028 yuan per kilowatt-hour, more than a few days ago rumors of 0.02 ~ 0.025 yuan rise even higher rate. Price rise will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of production of chemical products, chemical industry, operating pressures faced no small challenge.
Is well known that the chemical industry is one of the four energy-hungry, especially caustic soda, calcium carbide, ammonia, phosphorus and other products with great power. For example, soda companies, the power is not only a driving force, but also raw materials. In addition, after the price rise, coal prices will be increased space, but also in the main coal producing Shanxi Province, China country retreat back into the coal mining rights and warm in winter with the increased demand for coal under coal prices the expected increases. Coupled with the recent hike around the water frequently, such as non-resident water prices in Beijing rise 0.4 yuan per ton and greater synthesis of chemical products, production costs.
At the same time, due to last year's outbreak of the global financial crisis sapped many industries, and many chemical downstream industries, such as light industry, textiles, etc. have not yet fully recovered, demand is still very much the economy, the affordability of prices for raw materials is also very limited. Therefore, the expected price rise through the product chain will be fully pass along the cost is obviously impossible.
For the price increases resulting from increased costs, chemical companies need to solve the two-pronged approach: on one hand due to the downstream transmission, on the other hand have to go through their own efforts to digest. The self-digestion price rise factors, in addition to further strengthen the awareness of energy conservation, strengthen energy management, but more importantly, by raising the level of technology to reduce energy consumption.
After the price rise, the economic possibilities of energy-saving technologies will be improved, energy-saving project payback period shorter return on investment rate will help to promote the use of energy-saving technologies.
October 20, China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association has formally announced the "Petroleum and Chemical Industry Development supported by technical guidance" in included in the estate inventory of the technologies supporting the revitalization of the 58 projects to promote technology and development of 72 technology, energy-saving technologies accounted a large proportion. Particularly in areas such as fertilizer and chlor-alkali, most are energy-efficient emission reduction technologies, such as low-pressure ammonia technology, ammonia gas conversion system, the key energy-saving technology, ion-exchange membrane electrolyzer membrane polar distance technology, the cathode oxygen ion-exchange membrane caustic soda system, complete technology and other energy-saving effect is very significant.
According to Development and Reform Commission explained that the tariff adjustment of a very important purpose is to promote energy conservation, properly addressed renewable energy tariff subsidies and funding sources of power plant desulphurization. Therefore, the chemical industry to take advantage of rising electricity prices an opportunity to promote the use of energy-saving technologies to accelerate the pace of expansion of new energy-saving technologies, new technology market applications.
