On June 3, PetroChina issued the "2020 Environmental Protection Bulletin" (referred to as the Bulletin), which comprehensively demonstrated the achievements and development of PetroChina in the field of environmental protection from the aspects of ecological environmental protection, green and low-carbon development, and the role of central enterprises. This is the 22nd consecutive year that PetroChina has issued a communiqué.
Dai Houliang, Chairman and Party Secretary of CNPC, stated in his speech that CNPC, as an important state-owned enterprise, adheres to the value pursuit of "green development, dedication of energy, growth of customers, and empowerment of people's happiness" and continues to increase Clean energy production and supply, energy conservation and emission reduction efforts, strive to become the main force in the construction of ecological civilization and the backbone of the construction of a beautiful China. In 2020, the company's environmental protection situation is generally stable and continues to improve.
 Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", PetroChina has focused on fighting a tough battle for pollution prevention and control, implemented the National Air, Water, and Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan and supporting strengthening measures requirements, and formulated the "Low-Carbon Development Roadmap", "Pollution Control Upgrade Plan", and "Ecology" The “Protection Outline” has established a “1+3” system for the group’s ecological and environmental protection development. PetroChina has exceeded its environmental emission reduction targets, and its emissions of four pollutants: chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides have been significantly reduced; the anti-seepage transformation of gas stations has been fully completed, and the total emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from refining and chemical enterprises Cut 45%.
The communiqué shows that, centering on the "dual-carbon" goal, PetroChina has incorporated green and low-carbon into the company's development strategy for the first time, clarifying the "three-step" strategic deployment of clean substitution, strategic succession, and green transformation. In 2020, PetroChina will continue to increase the proportion of natural gas in primary energy. The output of natural gas will reach 130.6 billion cubic meters, which will exceed 50% of the equivalent of oil and gas output for the first time, making important progress in the transition to a green and low-carbon economy. Vigorously develop new energy business, actively develop the CCUS industry, use wind, light, land and other resources to promote clean production, and form a new pattern of multi-energy complementary. China Petroleum and the member companies of the Oil and Gas Industry Climate Initiative (OGCI) jointly signed an open letter to reiterate the continued acceleration of carbon emission reduction actions, which won wide acclaim from the international community.
Resolutely fight to win the battle of pollution prevention and control, and draw a new picture of clear water and blue sky. Complete various pollution control projects for blue sky, clear water and pure land. PetroChina has established a pollutant source emission list and a pollutant source survey database covering more than 34,000 grassroots units in 106 companies, realizing environmental data "verifiable, declarable, and traceable". Carry out surveys of soil pollution on land used by enterprises in key industries, covering 1081 plots in two years. Strengthen methane control and strategic research, and methane emission intensity in 2020 will be reduced by 6% compared with the previous year. Under the active promotion of PetroChina, China's oil and gas enterprises methane emission control alliance has been established a few days ago to further promote the realization of my country's "dual carbon" goal and the low-carbon transformation and development of oil and gas enterprises.
It is worth mentioning that PetroChina actively responds to the national ecological civilization construction strategy, continues to strengthen the ecological environment protection of the Yellow River Basin, systematically combs the status quo of the ecological environment protection work of enterprises in the Yellow River Basin, formulates the ecological environment protection work plan of the Yellow River Basin, and determines the work goals. In 2020, all 60 projects of the Yellow River Basin ecological and environmental protection within a time limit will be completed.
