據油氣工程4月7日新聞消息稱，因特管道公司宣布，根據艾伯塔省石油化工激勵方案（APIP），它將獲得4.08億美元。這筆撥款是為了支持因特管道公司的Heartland石化總廠(HPC)，這是一個綜合丙烷脫氫(PDH)和聚丙烯生產設施，將于2022年初投入運營。

因特管道公司總裁兼首席執行官Christian Bayle表示：“ APIP撥款表彰了HPC對阿爾伯塔省經濟的重大貢獻，并將繼續做出貢獻。HPC的建設在多年的建設過程中創造了數千個高薪的技術、制造和建筑工作崗位，在經濟困難時期是該省希望的象征。總而言之，我們預計約30億美元或項目建設支出的四分之三將直接投資于艾伯塔省企業提供的材料和服務。”

“此外，我們預計HPC將為政府創造數百個長期高質量的全職工作崗位和大量持續可觀的稅收收入。我們感謝艾伯塔省政府對HPC的支持，并且我們相信這向國際投資界發出了明確的信息—歡迎未來在艾伯塔省進行大規模石化投資。”

APIP是艾伯塔省推出的一項激勵計劃，旨在吸引投資，發展艾伯塔省的石化設施。該計劃旨在利用不斷發展的全球石化行業，利用艾伯塔省豐富的天然氣儲量來使其經濟多樣化，并創造一個有競爭力的、對投資者友好的商業環境。

HPC將本地采購的低成本丙烷轉化為52.5萬噸/年的聚丙烯，這是一種高價值、易于運輸和回收的多用途塑料，用于各種成品制造，例如包裝、紡織品、汽車零部件、醫療保健產品和醫療用品。

Inter Pipeline awarded US$408 million to develop petrochemical complex

Inter Pipeline Ltd. has announced that it will receive US$408 million under the Alberta Petrochemicals Incentive Programme (APIP). The grant has been awarded in support of Inter Pipeline’s Heartland petrochemical complex (HPC), an integrated propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and polypropylene production facility, which will be operational in early 2022.

“The APIP grant recognises the significant contribution HPC has and will continue to make to the Alberta economy,” stated Christian Bayle, Inter Pipeline's President and Chief Executive Officer. “HPC's construction has created thousands of well-paid technical, manufacturing and construction jobs over its multi-year build and has been a symbol of hope during difficult economic times for the Province. In total, we expect that roughly US$3 billion or three quarters of the project construction spend will be invested directly into materials and services provided by Alberta businesses.

"Furthermore, we expect HPC to generate hundreds of permanent high-quality full-time jobs and substantial ongoing tax revenue for government. We appreciate the Government of Alberta's support of HPC, and we believe it sends a clear message to the international investment community — future large-scale petrochemical investments are welcome in Alberta.”

APIP is an incentive programme introduced by the Government of Alberta to attract investment into the development of petrochemical facilities in Alberta. The programme is aimed at taking advantage of the growing global petrochemical sector, utilising Alberta's abundant natural gas reserves to diversify its economy and creating a competitive, investor-friendly business environment.

HPC will convert locally sourced, low-cost propane into 525 000 tpy of polypropylene, a high value, easily transported and recycled, multi-use plastic used in the manufacturing of an extensive range of finished products such as packaging, textiles, automobile components, healthcare products and medical supplies.
