How Much Water Can Be Eliminated From Backward Production Capacity In Various Provinces?

"The task of reducing emissions in Shanghai is very arduous in the second half of the year."

In August 11th, Shang Yuying, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of letters, told reporters that by the end of 2009, Shanghai had completed 84.14% of the total target of GDP energy consumption reduction in 11th Five-Year, but in the first quarter of this year, Shanghai

Shang Yuying said that the momentum of rapid growth of energy consumption in heavy chemical industry in Shanghai will be difficult to curb this year. Traffic, tourism, venue operation and safety guarantee will also bring about an increase in energy consumption in World Expo.

If the existing control measures are not effective, Shanghai will implement mandatory shutting down regulation in the latter two quarters of this year, with a low production value and high energy consumption among the 5000 to 50 thousand tons of standard coal consumption.

Faced with strong pressure on emission reduction tasks, more than one city in Shanghai.

The National Bureau of statistics had previously calculated that by the end of 2009, only 22 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) had completed the "11th Five-Year" emission reduction task over 80%, while others such as Hainan and Xinjiang completed only about 40% and 57.8%.

Multi province response productivity figures "water injection"

The local authorities reported that the elimination of backward production capacity data was being questioned by "water flooding". Officials from various provinces and cities interviewed by reporters denied that.

An official of the Shanxi provincial Ministry of industry and Commerce said that the data reported in the province were based on the actual situation of various cities.

According to the list of 2087 unlisted enterprises previously announced by the Ministry of industry and commerce, the reporter interviewed the Shanxi Taiyuan East Aluminum Aluminum Company Limited in the list. The company's 60kA self baking anode electrolyzer (15 thousand tons capacity) project was ordered to stop production.

But the person in charge told reporters: "we have shut down this equipment before we know why it will appear on this list."

An official of the Jiangxi Provincial Bureau of industry and Commerce told reporters that the province had actually reported it.

"There is no" water injection "in Jiangxi's data, and the energy saving and emission reduction plan for 11th Five-Year will be overfulfilled.

The officials said.

Although officials and businesses all over the press denied the data "water injection", the rapid rise in capacity and industrial emissions this year is undeniable.

Wang Yuangan, deputy director of the Fujian Industrial Development Promotion Association, analyzed that there were two kinds of situations where local production capacity data could be injected into water: first, the enterprises that had already been eliminated and closed down were now included in the elimination tasks; two, the production capacity was small to large, for example, the capacity of 100 thousand tons before was extended to 120 thousand tons by "overtime work".

Local vows: no matter how to stop production and ensure emission reduction targets

For those enterprises that failed to eliminate backward production capacity within the specified time limit, the Ministry of industry and information was determined to introduce a batch of vigorous measures: including "no grain" - no new credit in any form, "water cut - revocation of pollutant discharge permit", "power failure" and "no permission to add new land".

The most ruthless move is to "cancel the registration of industrial and commercial registration within a time limit, or revoke the business license in accordance with the law".

Under tremendous pressure, a number of provinces and cities interviewed by reporters said they would not hesitate to order related enterprises to suspend production to ensure the realization of emission reduction targets.

"We will discuss the deployment of emission reduction plans in the morning, and the specific emission reduction tasks in the second half of the year have been laid down."

Anhui provincial development and Reform Commission official said.

An official of the industry department of Shanxi Provincial Bureau of industry and Commerce said that at present, Shanxi province has a set of elimination plans, which are gradually being decomposed into various cities, counties and specific enterprises.

"As for the elimination of backward assets, the central and provincial governments will have corresponding single financial subsidies as long as they are in line with the examination and approval."

The official said that the financial subsidies were mainly used in three aspects: to repay the debts of the enterprises, to make up for the losses of the investors and the resettlement expenses for the employees.

As of 2009, Guizhou only completed 72.84% of the 11th Five-Year target of energy conservation and emission reduction.

The provincial development and Reform Commission's central resources office official told reporters that although the energy saving and emission reduction work so far is not particularly satisfactory, the province must ensure that the "11th Five-Year" plan for energy conservation and emission reduction will be completed this year.

"Closing so many enterprises will definitely have a certain impact on the local economy, but the backward production capacity with high resource and environmental load is eliminated, and on the other hand, it can play a greater role in the local environmental protection."

The officials said.

According to the official of the Zhejiang Provincial Commission of information, the Ministry of industry and Commerce has called for the elimination of backward production capacity of 180 enterprises to the specific enterprises. However, the 180 enterprises are not eliminated as a whole.

Shang Yuying, deputy director of Shanghai Economic Commission, said that although the energy consumption of the steel and fine chemical industry accounts for 60% of the city, the energy efficiency of these enterprises is not low. "Baosteel's energy consumption level is very low in the world".

As for how to eliminate the "closure" of the closed enterprises, officials of the Jiangxi provincial industrial and commercial bureau said that the government would arrange the resettlement of employees properly when enterprises were completely eliminated.

For some enterprises that are shutting down, the local government will subsidize some investment in industrial upgrading and technical equipment.

Wang Yuangan, deputy director of the Fujian Provincial Industrial Development Promotion Association, said that although the specific policies such as capital compensation and personnel placement have not yet been promulgated, Fujian has made up its mind to implement the rigid elimination measures.

"For some energy consuming enterprises, they will be closed in September and demolished at the end of November, and bank loans will be frozen," he said.

Wang Yuangan believes that the elimination of backward production capacity will have a certain negative impact on the original employees' employment and living security, but in the long run, this measure can reduce pollution, reduce production costs, enhance competitiveness and achieve sustainable development.
