在"双碳"大背景下，中国石化产业可以通过哪些方面实现低碳高质量发展?白皮书提出三个路径：第一 是减油增化，用燃料油变成化学品。谢玮介绍，沙特阿美正在尝试将从石油到化学品转化率由目前的不 足12%提高到70%，如果该方案取得成功，全生命周期碳排放可降低50%左右。第二是源头控碳。在最 初的原材料端就把石化原料碳排放降到最低。第三，建立碳足迹记录体系。谢玮介绍，沙特阿美已联合 全球各主要大学合作做全球4100多个油田的碳排放足迹记录项目。各石化企业可参考沙特阿美在此方面 的探索经验。 谢玮指出，中沙两国在石化产业绿色转型方面的合作将日益深化。沙特阿美在低碳原油生产方面占据优 势，其原油上游碳强度比行业平均水平低50%~70%，将有机会帮助下游企业降低碳足迹。而中国在炼 化工程建设、产业链整合方面经验丰富，中沙双方可通过减油增化、源头降碳、碳足迹追溯等路径协同 发展。 中化新网讯 近日，在宁波召开的中国国际石油化工大会上，复旦大学研究员谢玮对复旦大学与沙特阿 美联合编制的《双碳背景下的中国石化产业》白皮书进行解读，为中国石化产业在"双碳"目标下的低碳 高质量发展提供战略指引。 白皮书指出，中国碳排放占全球总量的30 ...
