中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站10月9日消息 据ICIS的一位分析师称，这场疫情增加了与炼油厂相关的可再生能源项目的数量，同时导致传统石化项目的延期和取消。 由于封锁导致运输燃料需求迅速下降，炼油厂现在质疑对大型石化项目投资的必要性，因为在疫情期间，回收和可持续性议程继续加快。 ICIS全球精炼团队的高级顾问Michael Connolly表示：“此次疫情已经加快了决策的步伐。以前人们对这些转变并不确定，但这次疫情表明，需求减少的速度有多快。这是人们做出这些决定的催化剂。” 他指出，今年石化项目有多次取消和延期。 回收和循环经济给石化产品带来的压力，引发了人们对这些巨额投资的担忧，这阻碍了一些炼油企业做出从传统石油产品向石化产品过渡的最终决定。 许多炼油厂在预测运输燃料需求下降之际，已重新将重点放在石化产品上，将其作为未来增长的来源。现在，疫情促使炼油厂转向可再生能源。 王磊 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下： Pandemic accelerates refinery shift from petrochemicals to renewables – analyst The pandemic has boosted numbers of refinery-linked renewables projects whilst causing delays and cancellations to traditional petrochemicals projects, according to an ICIS analyst. With lockdowns causing a rapid collapse in demand for transport fuels, oil refiners are now questioning the need for investments in mega petrochemical projects as recycling and the sustainability agenda have continued to accelerate during the pandemic. Michael Connolly, senior consultant with the ICIS global refining team said: “Decisions have been fast-tracked by the pandemic. Where people previously were unsure about these transitions, the pandemic has shown how quickly demand can be reduced. This has been a catalyst for people to make these decisions.” He pointed out that there have been several cancellations and delays to petrochemical projects this year. “Pressure on virgin petrochemicals from recycling and the circular economy has created concerns about some of these mega investments. This is hindering some refiners from making that final decision to transition from traditional oil products to petrochemicals,” he said. Many oil refiners had been refocusing on petrochemicals as a source of future growth as they forecast declining demand for transport fuels. Now, refiners have been spurred on to the transition to renewables by the pandemic. |
