浙江省开始建设中国第一个民营炼油厂

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社7月10日北京报道，中国官方新华社报道说，浙江省石化公司周一（10日）在浙江省靠近上海的舟山岛上开始建设其炼油和石化联合体的第一阶段项目。

新华社没有给出这个项目预期启动的日期。路透社去年曾说这个项目很有可能在2020年前投入使用。

根据浙江省政府5月3日发表的环境评估报告，浙江石化公司的这个项目将包括两个40万桶/天炼油厂和两个140万吨/年乙烯厂。

这个项目是中国政府将私人投资者引入国家控制能源行业努力的一部分。这个项目也引发了人们对中国国内石油产品日益增长的供应过剩的担忧，尤其是在中国东部，柴油和汽油的需求已经缓解。

环境评估报告还显示，纺织品制造商荣盛控股集团、石化生产商聚华集团和同坤集团是这个价值1730亿元（254.4亿美元）项目的主要融资人，投资者将借入1200多亿元来资助这个项目。

Zhejiang Starts Construction Of China's First Private Oil Refinery Site

Zhejiang Petrochemical started construction on Monday of the first phase of its oil refining and petrochemical complex on the island of Zhoushan, near Shanghai, in Zhejiang province, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

Xinhua did not give an expected start-up date for the project. Reuters reported last year that the project was likely to be operational by 2020.

Zhejiang Petrochemical's project will consist of two 400,000 barrels-per-day oil refineries and two 1.4 million tonnes-a-year ethylene plants, according to an environmental evaluation paper from the Zhejiang provincial government dated May 3.

The project is part of Beijing's efforts to bring private investors into the country's state-controlled energy sector. It has also raised concerns of a growing domestic glut in oil products, especially in eastern China where diesel and gasoline demand eased.

Textile maker Rongsheng Holding Group, petrochemical maker Juhua Group and Tongkun Group, are the main financiers of the 173 billion yuan ($25.44 billion) project, the environmental document showed. The investors will borrow more than 120 billion yuan in bank loans to finance the project, the document said.
