Continuously upgrade the quality of oil products to provide clean energy. In recent years, the pace of upgrading the quality of China's oil products has been rapid. Since 2000, the automotive diesel oil standard has been upgraded from National 1 to National 5, and the gasoline standard has dropped by 99% from the sulfur content of no more than 1,000 ppm in 2000 to no more than 10 ppm in National 5, which is a drop of 99%. During the same period, SINOPEC has invested a total of 261.5 billion yuan in its refining segment to continuously improve the quality of oil products. At present, it has supplied National V clean oil products to Beijing, Shanghai and other seven provinces and cities in advance.
Successfully developed China's first large-scale shale gas field. in 2014, the cumulative shale gas production capacity of 2.5 billion cubic meters/year was completed, which is equivalent to the annual gas consumption of about 10 million households. Compared with coal, it can reduce carbon dioxide by 3 million tons, sulfur dioxide by 75,000 tons and nitrogen oxides by nearly 25,000 tons per year.
Great efforts have been made to develop geothermal resources. By the end of 2014, geothermal heating capacity accounted for 30% of the country's capacity for green heating for 200,000 families. A total of 23.23 million square meters of geothermal heating capacity has been built, accounting for 30% of the heating area of the country's conventional geothermal resources, providing clean heating for nearly 200,000 families, replacing 320,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 850,000 tons per year.
Realizing that "gutter oil" can be carried to the sky. SINOPEC has become the first company in China to develop and produce its own bioaviation coal technology, realizing that "waste oil from restaurants" can be used to carry people to the sky, which is a useful exploration of reducing carbon emissions in the aviation industry. This is only a microcosm of SINOPEC's scientific and technological innovation. 2014, SINOPEC's domestic and foreign patent applications amounted to 5,888, and it was awarded three first prizes for national scientific and technological progress and one first prize for national technological invention. In each link of the whole industrial chain, it has owned a number of core technologies and proprietary technologies with international competitiveness, providing strong scientific and technological support for the energy and chemical industry.
The "Blue Water, Blue Sky" environmental protection action is advancing steadily. on July 30, 2013, SINOPEC announced that it will carry out the "Blue Water, Blue Sky" environmental protection action from 2013 to 2015, with a three-year plan to invest 22.87 billion yuan and implement 803 comprehensive environmental protection improvement projects. It plans to invest 22.87 billion yuan over three years to implement 803 comprehensive environmental improvement projects. As of the end of 2014, the number of investment projects and the total amount of investment have reached 71.7% and 52.9% of the total number of projects and total amount of investment respectively. At the same time, according to the new requirements of national and local environmental protection, the new environmental protection governance projects 168, new investment of 9.41 billion yuan.
SINOPEC launched the "Energy Efficiency Doubling" plan, and on June 26, 2014, at the United Nations' "Eco-Civilization and Beautiful Homeland" Climate China Summit, SINOPEC announced the official launch of the "Energy Efficiency Doubling" plan, pledging to increase energy efficiency by 2020 to reach a total of 1.4 billion yuan. On June 26, 2014, at the UN Summit on "Ecological Civilization and Beautiful Homeland", SINOPEC announced the official launch of the "Energy Efficiency Doubling" program, promising to double energy efficiency by 2025. At present, 573 energy-saving projects have been implemented, with an investment of 1.73 billion yuan, achieving energy savings of 870,000 tons of standard coal, equivalent to planting more than 18 million trees and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.6 million tons.
