Abstract: The rapid development of the chemical industry has contributed to global economic growth and improved people's quality of life. However, the massive consumption of fossil energy in the chemical production process has also caused environmental pollution and climate change that cannot be ignored. China has taken the initiative to set the targets of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, requiring all industries to follow the path of green and high-quality development, which will promote the green transformation of China's chemical industry. Green chemical industry should include the greening of the whole industrial chain and innovation chain from chemical raw materials, catalysts, reaction engineering and energy to products, which is the general trend of industry development. It is recommended to strengthen the oriented support to the applied basic research of green chemical technology, advocate the inclusion of green indexes in the evaluation standard of technological advancement, promote the integration of the green development concept into the whole process of technology development and application in the chemical industry, and accelerate the digital transformation and integrated development of China's chemical industry, so as to realize more green chemical technological innovation and sustainable development of the industry at an early date.

Key words: green chemical industry, green catalyst, chemical process intensification, green product
