China has taken a significant step forward by inaugurating its first nuclear steam petrochemical plant in the eastern province of Jiangsu. The breakthrough is part of a series of innovative projects with advanced, low-carbon technologies currently under development.

The successful launch of this plant, named Heqi-1, follows the commissioning of China’s first industrial nuclear thermal power plant in December 2022.

China advances in clean industry

This new nuclear steam plant has already started operations and is expected to supply 4.8 million tons of clean, carbon-free steam annually from the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, a subsidiary of the China National Nuclear Corp. China National Nuclear Corp. . This steam will be used to fuel petrochemical plants, replacing part of the 400,000 tons per year of coal currently burned.

Huang Ping, secretary general of the Atomic Energy Authority of China, said that a new set of nuclear power projects will be promoted and encouraged in the future. multifunctional nuclear energy multifunctional energy projects and applicable technology. These efforts seek to promote the comprehensive use of nuclear energy and its application in various industries such as agriculture, health care, environmental protection and security.

China moves towards 2060 with a nuclear steam petrochemical plant

Late last year, China announced its intention to manufacture more than half of the world’s ships powered by cleaner fuels, such as LNG and methanol, by 2025. This target is part of its strategy to become a carbon neutral economy by 2060.

Overall, China is making a considerable effort in the area of low carbon emissions. carbon emissions . According to the Center for Energy and Clean Air Research, low-carbon energy accounted for 40% of the country’s economic growth last year. This climate think tank estimated in January that low-carbon energy projects contributed approximately $1.6 trillion to China’s GDP in 2023, outpacing any other sector.
