It is understood that the rise in the price of refined oil will mainly lead to the increase in the transportation costs of chemical companies. The rise in electricity prices will directly lead to an increase in the cost of production of power-consuming enterprises. Due to the weakening of the cost pressure downstream transmission, the profits of the chemical industry have shrunk. The relevant person in charge of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association calculated the accounts for the reporter: Since June 20th, the benchmark price of China's auto (chai) oil has increased by RMB 1,000/ton, an increase of 17% to 18%; according to relevant regulations, The retail price of (chai) oil can be increased by 8% on the basis of the benchmark price. It can be seen that the final increase in the retail price of steam (chai) oil will reach 25% to 26%. The person in charge said that transportation costs for chemical companies will increase significantly, especially for companies that rely on railways and road transport for most chemical products, and their sales costs will increase significantly.
The chemical industry is a large consumer of electricity, particularly nitrogen, soda, caustic soda, calcium carbide, yellow phosphorus and other five major high-energy-consuming industries, the proportion of the cost of electricity is relatively large, the increase in electricity prices to significantly increase the cost of production. For example, the average power consumption of yellow phosphorus production is about 14,000 kWh/ton. The increase in electricity price will increase the production cost of yellow phosphorus by 350 yuan/ton; the calcium carbide polyvinyl chloride (PVC) company will produce 1 ton of PVC and consume 1.5 tons of calcium carbide. However, the increase in the cost of calcium carbide will increase the cost of PVC by 135 yuan/ton. In addition, rising electricity prices will also drive up costs in other industries. For example, the average power consumption of synthetic ammonia production is about 1200 kWh/ton, and the increase in electricity price by 2.5 cents/kWh will increase the production cost of synthetic ammonia by about RMB 30/ton; the raw silicon for raw materials used in the production of silicone will have an average power consumption of about 1 kWh/ton, the increase in electricity price will increase the production cost of industrial silicon by about RMB 250/ton; the average power consumption of electrolytic manganese dioxide production will be about 2800 kWh/ton, and the increase in electricity price will increase the production cost of electrolytic manganese dioxide. About 70 yuan / ton.
The relevant person in charge of the Petrochemical Association stated that the increase in the price of oil and electricity and the promotion of higher production costs are conducive to curbing the blind expansion of energy-intensive industries through macro-control measures. At the same time, it will also significantly increase the trade cost of "two high and one capital" products, thus curbing its exports. In the past two years, China has successively adopted economic means such as industry entry barriers, export tax rebates, and differential electricity prices to limit the excessive development of the above-mentioned high-energy-consuming industries. However, in China’s current export commodities, the above-mentioned high-energy-consumption products still occupy considerable amounts. Quantity.
Beijing, China. The recent China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association said that the National Development and Reform Commission recently announced an increase in the price of oil and electricity, which has a greater impact on the economic performance of the chemical industry: the industry’s profit margins have narrowed and it has entered a high-cost era; however, this move will also To curb the development of high-energy-consuming industries and promote the adjustment of the chemical industry structure and product structure.
