Which island is Zhoushan Petrochemical located on?

Yushan Island. The full name of Zhoushan Petrochemical is Zhoushan Green Petrochemical Base. It is the largest single unit among domestic refining units and the largest single petrochemical industry project with one-time investment and construction in China. In 2020, it processed a total of 23.06 million tons of crude oil and achieved an output value of 74.785 billion. Yuan. Its emergence has changed the situation in which foreign manufacturers have control over many key petrochemical products.

After the completion of the Zhejiang Petrochemical Yushan Island project, the annual output value will exceed 250 billion yuan, and the entire scale can reach the fifth in the world. It will form a complete industrial chain integrating oil refining, chemical industry, and high-end new materials, which can drive the growth of the world. The downstream industry chain is worth 600 billion yuan, which is bound to have an impact on the pricing of global bulk chemical products, such as ethylene and paraxylene.

The reasons for placing the petrochemical project on Yushan Island

1. Yushan Island is surrounded by good deep water areas, which can support the construction of docks, and large oil tankers can directly dock for loading and unloading. Greatly reduces the cost of crude oil and refined oil products.

2. Yushan Island is far away from populated land, which is very necessary for refining projects with high risk factors.
