Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei draws a "blue" map for gas governance, joint defense measures and joint law enforcement

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] In order to actively respond to global climate change, China has set a goal for the international community to reduce carbon emission intensity by 45% and 60% to 65% in 2020 and 2030, respectively, and "2030 Commitment to achieve the national carbon emission peak" target
.
The "dual carbon" goal is leading and systematic for China's green and low-carbon development, and can bring multiple effects of environmental quality improvement and industrial development
.

 

In September 2013, the State Council issued the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, which clearly required that by 2017 the concentration of inhalable particulate matter in cities above the prefecture-level nationwide should be reduced by more than 10% compared to 2012
.
In order to treat Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas, one of the three major pollution areas, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has implemented the "2+26" policy
.

 

On the whole, within two years after the implementation of the policy, the environmental quality of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas has improved to varying degrees
.
The "2+26" policy is particularly effective in winter, and it is more effective in solving winter pollution problems (such as "coal-to-electricity" and "coal-to-gas" projects)
.
In addition, the policy effect of each city is related to the distance from the closed geographical boundary formed by the city implementing the "2+26" policy
.

 

Aiming at the "2+26" cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas, using the data released by the China Environmental Monitoring Station to analyze the air pollution characteristics of the "2+26" cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas from 2013 to 2019, the following results are obtained in conclusion:
 

① From 2013 to 2019, the air quality of the “2+26” cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and surrounding areas generally improved
.

 

② From 2013 to 2019, the number of heavily polluted days in the “2+26” cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas continued to decrease, and the number of severely polluted days dropped by 90%
.
The proportion of good days has increased, and has basically stabilized at around 50% after 2016
.

 

　　③ Geographical location, meteorological conditions, industrial structure, energy consumption and emission reduction policies are important factors affecting the changes in air quality in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas from 2013 to 2019
.

 

　　Studies have shown that with the gradual increase in the implementation of air pollution prevention and emission reduction measures, policy impact has become the most important means for continuous improvement of air quality in the "2+26" cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and surrounding areas
.

 

　　In general, the above research results show that the “joint prevention and control” approach adopted by the “2+26” policy has a significant effect on air pollution control
.

 

　　Under the background that the "13th Five-Year" binding indicators are all overfulfilled, the "Proposals of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the 2035 Long-Term Goals" put forward: Pollute the weather
.

 

　　In this regard, industry professionals analyzed: the composition of heavily polluted weather across the country, there is basically no heavy polluted weather south of the Yangtze River, and there are some cities between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.
The main frequent occurrence areas are in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Four places: Fenwei, Northeast and Northwest
.
Of course, the causes of heavy pollution in different regions are not the same.
Among them, the effective measures in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period will also continue
.

 

　　Regarding the major difficulty of air pollution prevention and control, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas have implemented the "2+26" policy, adopted the idea of ​​"joint prevention and control", and carried out in-depth cooperation in ecological and environmental law enforcement
.

 

　　Among them, it is worth noting that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei environmental law enforcement linkage working mechanism has been formally established since 2015
.

 

　　On June 10, 2021, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei eco-environmental departments jointly held a video conference on the joint work of ecological environment law enforcement
.
The "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Eco-Environment Joint Enforcement Work Plan for 2021-2022" was released at the meeting, clarifying the key content of the atmospheric law enforcement linkage:
 

　　In terms of atmospheric ecology and environment, the three places will continue to carry out in-depth linkage or joint special enforcement actions
.
Focus on inspections of boiler users, industrial dust, VOCs emission units, straw burning, construction sites, etc.
, as well as industrial enterprises that stop production and limit production during emergency response to heavy pollution weather, investigate and deal with environmental violations in accordance with the law, and transfer to relevant departments and supervise the rectification of environmental management issues
.

 

　　Regarding complaints and reports of environmental violations at the junctions, each junction will sort out the complaints and reports in the past three years, and coordinate the history, difficulties and new environmental pollution issues that have not been handled due to disputes over jurisdictions such as border areas.
All parties have fully clarified their territories and jurisdictions, carried out joint law enforcement in a timely manner with neighboring districts and cities (counties) in accordance with the mechanism, cracked down on illegal acts that harm the health of the people in accordance with the law, and safeguarded environmental rights and interests
.

 

　　In terms of specific measures, the plan clarifies four working methods
.
In key periods such as emergency response to severely polluted weather, autumn and winter, increase the degree and frequency of law enforcement, make every effort to slow down the accumulation of pollutants, and ensure the quality of the ecological environment; neighboring districts, cities (counties) should vigorously explore, expand, and deepen scientific and technological law enforcement In the application of the method, actively adopt monitoring micro-stations, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ships, navigation vehicles, satellite remote sensing, black smoke monitoring and other scientific and technological means to improve the efficiency of law enforcement linkage; carry out law enforcement monitoring linkage, increase the proportion of on-site law enforcement monitoring, and strengthen the Supervise the discharge of organized and unorganized pollutants, investigate and punish behaviors that exceed standards and exceed total emissions in accordance with the law; increase the publicity of law enforcement linkages, find "bright spots" and grasp "typical", and enlarge the effectiveness of law enforcement
.

 

　　From 2021 to 2022, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will use the comprehensive law enforcement reform as an opportunity to further improve the environmental law enforcement linkage mechanism in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and adjust the content and scope of the law enforcement linkage mechanism
.
Promote the implementation of the joint inspection system
.
Continue to improve the idea of ​​environmental law enforcement linkage, lay a solid foundation for environmental law enforcement linkage, and severely crack down on trans-regional ecological and environmental violations
.
