The progress made in China's refining industry over the past six decades is briefly reviewed and the current status is introduced. New challenges for this industry in the era of low carbon economy are evaluated, and recommendations for further growth are provided. To name a few, utilizing heavier and lower quality crudes, producing cleaner fuels and products at lower energy cost and lower emission,competing with fuel products from alternative source are the main challenges for today's refining industry. To respond, the following recommendations are presented: (1) processing schemes of existing refineries should be upgraded to accommodate new changes; (2) integration of refining and chemical production should be upheld to improve the utilization of resource; (3) investment to technology innovation should be intensified to provide a solid support for sustainable growth in low carbon emission era;(4) providing clean and high quality fuel products for customers; (5) deployment and development of advanced technology for reducing emission and energy consumption should be encouraged; (6) development and application of information integration in refining and management should be enhanced; (7) conversion processes for alternative fuel should be incorporated into refinery to optimize the utilization of diversified resources and to produce diversified products.%介绍了中国炼油工业的发展现状,分析了低碳经济下中国炼油工业面临的挑战,并对中国炼油工业的发展提出建议.在低碳经济形势下,面对原油资源劣质化、产品清洁化、低能耗和低排放、替代燃料争夺市场空间等挑战,中国炼油工业应加快结构调整,实现产业优化升级;坚持炼化一体化发展,提高资源利用效率;加强技术创新,为炼油工业低碳发展提供技术支撑;为消费者提供清洁的高品质燃油产品;加大节能减排等先进技术的研发与应用力度.力大大信息化应用力度,促进炼油信息系统的集中、集成和深化应用;加强与替代燃料的结合,实现资源多元化及产品多样化.
