The National Development and Reform Commission officially released the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Major Technical Equipment Development and Special Industrial Technology Development" on February 19. The plan outlines China's strategy to develop eight major technical equipment systems and four key industrial technologies, aiming to achieve a significant breakthrough in core technology and critical equipment. This marks a shift from the previous reliance on foreign technology, as the country seeks to enhance its industrial structure through innovation and self-reliance.
According to the plan, a large portion of the R&D efforts under the Eleventh Five-Year Plan will focus on petrochemical-related projects. Among the eight major technical equipment categories, four are directly related to the petrochemical industry. These include large-scale oil and gas transmission pipeline systems, million-ton ethylene production facilities, coal chemical equipment, and new types of ships and offshore petroleum engineering equipment.
In the case of large-scale ethylene production, the plan emphasizes the development of key components such as extrusion granulation units, cracking gas compressors, propylene refrigeration compressors, large ethylene cold boxes, and high-capacity ethylene furnaces. It also includes advanced heat exchangers, polyethylene gas-phase reactors, and complete sets of refined terephthalic acid equipment. For coal chemical equipment, the focus is on technologies like powder coal gasification, large gasifiers, corrosion-resistant pumps and valves, and integrated methanol and ACETIC ACID production systems.
Regarding offshore and marine equipment, the plan highlights the development of large liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, including those with capacities over 160,000 cubic meters, as well as super-large marine diesel engines and deepwater drilling platforms. These projects aim to strengthen China’s capabilities in offshore energy exploration and transportation.
The four major industrial technologies outlined in the plan include modernization of petroleum refining, development of coal-based energy CHEMICALS like dimethyl ether, and key technologies in fine chemicals, naphtha processing, and aromatics production. Additionally, it emphasizes energy-saving technologies, new energy solutions, environmental protection, and efficient resource utilization.
During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, China made considerable progress by absorbing and improving both domestic and imported technologies. For example, the petrochemical sector independently developed advanced technologies such as catalytic cracking, heavy oil hydrodesulfurization, hydrocracking, large-scale polypropylene, and ethylbenzene/styrene processes, significantly enhancing the industry’s technological level.
This strategic focus on innovation and self-reliance reflects China’s long-term vision to reduce dependency on foreign technology and build a more competitive and sustainable industrial base.
