Study On The Industrial Cluster Of Natural Gas Chemical Industry In Chong Qing

As the largest central city and the only municipality in the western China, Chongqing is the southwestern commercial and industrial hub with great strategic status. A great opportunity appears for the development of Chongqing Chemistry Industry, with the enhancement of the administrative status of Chongqing, the triggering of Great Development of Western China and the China's entrance of WTO. From been listed as the national integrated chemistry industry base in the Ninth 5-year Strategy period, many national chemistry industry bases have been located in Chongqing in succession, including elementary chemical materials, organic chemical materials, dyestuffs, dope, pesticide and latex processing. At the same time, Chongqing's resource-oriented economy fertilized the newly emerging natural gas chemistry industry and refined chemistry industry, which makes up the two main characteristics of the Chongqing chemistry industry and initially forms a unique well-qualified and well-organized chemistry product manufacturing system. But, as it is a huge and complex system engineering, the integration of the whole natural gases. The Chemistry industry is delivered to have a well program and should be played as a whole. There is the shortage of comprehensive and professional layout on the development of natural gas chemistry in conjunction with a set of science and technology development project. There are still other problems Chongqing is now facing, such as the operation management system are left far behind, technology and facilities is not advanced, production scale is too small to gain economic effectiveness, processing of product are not refined, product added value is low, industry is in serious shortage on research and development investment, decentralized distribution and valueless reconstruction and so on. Applying the global well-known Industrial Cluster Theory, this article presents a study on the development of natural gas chemistry in Chongqing. In the first part, we gave a complete introduction and sophisticated analysis on the Industrial Cluster Theory, as well as analyzed the requirements for the industry clustering. Based on the studies on the domestic industry clustering, we made a classification on it and summarized the development experiences of industry clustering in China. Finally, based on the analysis on the current industry distribution of Chognqing, a conclusion was drawn that industry clustering must be conducted in Chongqing for better economic development. In the second part, under the Industry Cluster Theory, we analyzed the integrated advantages and resources surroundings of Chongqing for the development of natural gas chemistry. We suggested a future development orientation for Chongqing, that is "Taking modern industrialization, complete opening, innovative and continual development as strategy, focus investment on three mainstay areas like modern natural gas chemistry, new chemical materials and pure & advanced new power". Particularly, industries in acetylene chemistry, acetic acid and carbonic refining, phosgene ramification and new technology in natural gas chemistry would be the development emphases in the future. Furthermore, to fully support the chemistry industry in Chongqing, we suggested a development framework mainly based on three science parks: Changshou Chemistry Science Park, Peiling Fertilizer & Chemistry Industry Park and Wanzhou Chemistry Science Park. Beyond these layouts, we still consider to integrate the whole natural gas chemistry industry along the related product supply chain, as well as to combine it with the fine chemical industry. Under these strategies, we are in the process to build Chognqing into the largest and most advanced natural gas chemistry base in China with long-term development. In the third part, we studied the role that the government plays in the development of Chognqing natural gas chemistry, as well as in the formation of industrial cluster in this area.Our results generalize some valuable recommendations and references on the develo...
