According to the statistics of the State Oceanic Administration, the total annual output value of China's marine chemical industry in 2005 exceeded 120 billion yuan. Among them, the offshore oil and gas industry maintained a momentum of rapid development. The total output value of the ocean oil and gas industry was 73.9 billion yuan, an increase of 46.7 billion yuan, an increase of 17.9% over the previous year; in 2005, the output of marine crude oil exceeded 30 million tons, an increase of 11.5% over the previous year. The output of marine natural gas reached 627.721 million cubic meters, an increase of 2.3% over the previous year. With the increasing development of marine biopharmaceutical technology, the industrialization of marine biopharmaceuticals has gradually accelerated. In 2005, the total output value of marine biomedical industry was 4.8 billion yuan, with an added value of 1.7 billion yuan, an increase of 15.6% over the previous year. In addition, with the rapid development of soda ash and caustic soda manufacturing, domestic salt market demand has increased year by year, and sea salt production has grown steadily. China's sea salt production has ranked first in the world for many years. In 2005, the total output value of marine salt industry was 12.4 billion yuan, an increase of 5.2 billion yuan, an increase of 22.7% over the previous year. The output value of other marine-related chemical industries reached 29.3 billion yuan.
It is understood that during the development of marine chemicals, the performance of Shandong, Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces is very eye-catching. The output value of marine salt industry in Shandong accounts for 66.9% of the national marine salt industry output, ranking first in the country; the output value of the marine oil and gas industry in Guangdong Province accounts for 48.7% of the national offshore oil and gas industry output value, continuing to rank first in the nation; the output value of marine biomedical industry in Jiangsu Province accounts for The 37.4% of the output value of the national marine biomedical industry ranks first in the country.
It is understood that the development of marine chemical economy and science and technology has also received increasing attention from countries around the world. At present, there are more than 20 marine industries in some developed countries in the world. There are 12 marine industries in China, including those in the field of marine chemicals including oil and natural gas, salt industry, biopharmaceuticals and health products, and seawater desalination. In addition, the use of marine high-tech to research and develop new marine resources such as natural gas hydrates, deep-sea minerals, biological resources, and deep-sea biological genes has become a hot spot in the world's marine chemical and marine scientific research.
The annual output value of marine chemical industry is over RMB 120 billion. Major industries include oil and gas, salt industry, desalination, biopharmaceuticals, etc.
On May 9, the reporter learned from the State Oceanic Administration that, at present, the marine chemical industry is becoming the main direction of China's marine economy and marine science and technology. According to statistics, the total annual output value of China's major marine chemical industry exceeds 120 billion yuan, and the marine chemical economy is becoming a new economic growth point in China.
