Chemical industry is a key energy-consuming industry. Many chemical companies have established small and medium-sized cogeneration facilities to ensure a stable power supply and winter heating for employees. Facts have proved that these cogeneration plants have played a huge role in enterprises. In the past few years of power shortage, if these devices were not supported, many chemical companies would stop production due to power shortages. At the same time, chemical companies are generally far away from urban areas, and urban public heating networks are difficult to accommodate. In addition to the need of electricity in the production process, enterprises also need a large amount of low-pressure steam, and the heating of employees' families needs a lot of hot water, and the combined heat and power supply can meet the needs of these enterprises. Guaranteeing the winter heating of employees' residences is an important work that reflects the "people-oriented" principle of the party and the government and guarantees the normal life of employees. This can not be ignored.
In addition, as CHP makes full use of low-grade thermal energy and reduces emissions, it is recognized as an energy use form for improving energy efficiency and protecting the environment. According to statistics, most of the energy efficiency of the cogeneration model of chemical companies exceeds 45%, while the energy efficiency of ordinary coal-fired power plants is only 35%. Cogeneration is the technology that China's Energy Conservation Law explicitly encourages and is included in the ten key energy-saving demonstration projects in the Medium- and Long-term Energy Conservation Plan. The "Notice of the State Council on Doing a Good Job in the Construction of a Conservation-Oriented Society in the Near Future" also explicitly sets CHP as one of the seven projects launched in 2005. Therefore, for the cogeneration project of chemical companies, relevant parties should support it, and the actions of the two banks are obviously contrary to this.
It may also be used as a corporate bank and has its own evaluation of the company's cogeneration projects. However, the author believes that based on the principle of "energy saving first, efficiency first", the company's cogeneration should be supported. In the future, chemical companies should be encouraged to raise funds for the development of cogeneration projects through multiple channels, and the government should also raise special funds for support.

According to reports, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Construction Bank recently listed CHP in the “high-risk industry†in the form of a document issued by the head office. It is expressly stipulated that the CHP industry with a stand-alone capacity of 135,000 kilowatts or less should be withdrawn, and the loan has to be gradually Recover loans. This move has caused the crisis in the development of cogeneration projects for chemical companies.
