加拿大石油重镇艾伯塔省寻求振兴石化工业

据能源新闻7月13日消息称，Kallanish Energy报道，艾伯塔省将启动一项新的十年计划，以增加对石化领域的投资，提高艾伯塔省在全球市场上的竞争力。

将于今年秋天启动的艾伯塔省石油化工激励计划是艾伯塔省恢复计划的一部分，该计划旨在使艾伯塔省人民在新冠疫情后重返工作岗位。

该计划旨在为石化项目创造数十亿美元的投资，以加强该省的经济并使其多样化。

艾伯塔省工业中心协会称，已经拥有强大石化工业的艾伯塔省预计到2030年，对石化行业的投资将增加300亿美元，并增加9万个直接和间接的就业机会。

艾伯塔省天然气和电力部副部长Dale Nally在一份声明中表示：“艾伯塔省已准备好抓住这个机会，成为石化制造业的全球目的地，惠及所有艾伯塔省人民。”

Alberta seeks to boost petrochemical industry

Alberta is kicking off a new 10-year program to boost investments in the petrochemical sector and to make Alberta more competitive in the global market, Kallanish Energy reports.

The Alberta Petrochemicals Incentive Plan that will be launched this fall is part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan to get Albertans back to work after the coronavirus pandemic.

The program is intended to help create multi-billion-dollar investments for petrochemical projects to strengthen and diversify the province’s economy.

Alberta, already with a strong petrochemical industry, could see investment in the petrochemical sector grow by $30 billion and 90,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2030, Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association said.

“Alberta is ready to seize the opportunity to become a global destination for petrochemical manufacturing, benefitting all Albertans,” said Dale Nally, associate minister of natural gas and electricity, in a statement.
