Hey there! Did you know that China's energy game is leveling up? 🌟 Over the past decade, China's been beefing up its energy security, keeping its energy self-sufficiency rate above 80%. But what's the secret sauce behind this achievement? Spoiler alert: It's homegrown tech! 🛠️
Let's take a trip to Fushun City in northeast China's Liaoning Province. 🗺️ There you'll find one of China's oldest oil refineries, the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) Fushun Petrochemical Company. This place has been around the block, but some of its equipment was starting to feel a bit… vintage. 🧐
Fed by oil from China's Daqing field and Russia's Siberia, this refinery used to focus on products like paraffin, solvent oil, and ethylene. But guess what? With upgraded, self-developed equipment, they're now diving into a new line of business—jet fuel! ✈️ How cool is that?
By embracing their own technological innovations, companies like CNPC Fushun are not just keeping up—they're leading the way. 💡 This shift isn't just about one refinery; it's about how self-developed tech is powering China's energy future. It's a game-changer, and we're here for it! 🔥
