The IUPAC Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI) has held regional workshops in the past. The 5th and latest was held in Beijing on 12 September 2016. The workshop was planned and hosted by Dr. Zaiku Xie and members of his team. Dr. Xie is Director of the Science & Technology Department at SINOPEC and a Titular Member of COCI. COCI members are grateful to Dr. Xie and SINOPEC for hosting an excellent Workshop. The following is a summary of the meeting, which was well attended and praised by the attendees in the discussion session at the end of the meeting.

We were also honoured to have the Vice-President of IUPAC, Professor Qi-Feng Zhouof Peking University, to open the workshop. He participated throughout the day and entertained us at the Peking Duck banquet, which was kindly hosted by SINOPEC.

The COCI Regional Workshop in Beijing was the 5th such workshop organised by members of the committee and held in different global regions and with relevant topical agendas. This workshop brought together speakers from China, Korea, India, and Switzerland. The focus of the meeting was Sustainability and how industry is working towards this goal.

In addition to Prof. Qi-Feng Zhou, the Workshop was opened with welcoming remarks by Dr. Zaiku Xie, the host of the Workshop, and Dr. Bernard West, the Chair of COCI. There were also several local speakers, as well as members of COCI from Canada, USA/Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, Switzerland, Korea, and Russia.

The workshop was divided into three sessions, with Q&A, including the following presentations. A fourth open session was held to enable broader questions.

  1. Sustainable Development of Refining and Chemical Industry in China, by Dingyi Hong

  2. Process Intensification: Higee Technology as an Example, by Jian-Feng Chen

  3. Vehicle Fuel Upgrading Technologies in China, by Mingfeng Li

  4. Methanol to Olefins Technologies Developed by SINOPEC, by Jiawei Teng

  5. Development and Prospect of Biomass Energy, by Kai Qiao

  6. Status of Safety, Environment and Health in Indian Chemical Industry, by Dr. B. Saha

  7. Responsible Care in China, by Housheng Xu

  8. Safety Engineering Technology and Response Care for petrochemical industry, by Wei Xu

The agenda and summaries of the presentations, and discussion points are available from the COCI webpage.
