Beijing will update sewage standards in industries such as coatings this year

: Recently, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, the director of the air pollution comprehensive control coordination director Li Lixin told reporters that in order to complete this year's PM2.5 annual average concentration drop of 5%, Beijing will separately issue the 2015 Clean Air Action Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan), the municipal government will approve the plan, including this year's multi-industry will develop new sewage standards and other bright spots.
", on the basis that the city's average annual concentration of PM2.5 fell less than expected last year, Beijing this year set a target of a further 5% decline, for all aspects is a considerable pressure. Li Lixin said, as the "12th Five-Year Plan" to eliminate backward production capacity in the last year, a lot of beijing's closing work will become a hard bone to chew, therefore, the action plan will involve a number of industries of new sewage standards, forcing these long-standing headache of the pollution industry transformation and upgrading or adjustment of exit.
Ma Jun, director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Public Environmental Research, said that although Beijing's sewage standards are already significantly higher than the national standard, but relative to the public for Beijing's air pollution control effect, still need to continue to "give strength" some.
China's current environmental protection standards are divided into national and local levels, as of last July, Beijing has basically formed the most stringent domestic pollutant emission standards as the main body of the local environmental standards system, Beijing's existing local environmental standards 51, the most in the country. Li Lina, director of the science and technology standards department of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said that although most of the environmental standards such as sewage limits in Beijing are stricter and less stringent than national standards, but there are still some industries do not have corresponding proprietary standards, enterprises only need to implement most of the industry's unified and comprehensive emission standards, relative to Beijing's environmental governance requirements, there is room for strengthening this strength.
Li Lixin said that in order to further improve the threshold of sewage standards, Beijing this year will introduce refining and petrochemical, printing, wood furniture manufacturing, automobile manufacturing repair,

adhesive-based sewage standards in a number of industries, some of which will be difficult to measure volatile organic matter (VOC) in production, processing links to develop product content standards, all-round restrictions on enterprise sewage.
Yu Jianhua, director of the atmospheric environmental management department of the Environmental Protection Bureau of The City of Shanghai, said that since last year, Beijing has taken the lead in significantly raising the charges for four major pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, and the adjusted standard is about 14-15 times the original standard. Li Lixin said that in this year's Action Plan, Beijing has decided that this year will take the lead in organizing the implementation of construction dust sewage charges, and levy volatile organic sewage charges.
Lixin said that the current sewage charge policy has been formally introduced, to start this year. Zhang Bin, deputy director of the emergency management department of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, told reporters that dust sewage charges are proposed to collect party A construction sewage charges, with reference to the construction scale, dust emission intensity conversion levy, to the construction intensity of each stage by coefficient collection, the preliminary determination of Beijing in accordance with 3 yuan / square meters or so levy, specifically according to the construction cycle and other factors to calculate the payment fee.
Addition, volatile organic sewage charges, which have been frequently called for many times, have also entered the countdown to the levy, li Lixin revealed that the collection of this pollutant may be similar to the sulphur dioxide already levied. Zheng Rehong, deputy director of the pollution prevention and control department of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, told the Beijing Business Daily that Beijing plans to increase the amount of volatile organic sewage charges in industries including oil refining, chemical manufacturing, home furnishings, packaging and printing. "Most of these industry enterprises previously did not charge or charge very few VOC in the individual items of sewage charges, the fee is less than 1 yuan / kg, enterprise sewage costs are very low, so enterprises as long as the government does not exceed the highest emission standards, that is, free to discharge VOC." Zheng said. According to statistics, if the future charges of VOC are not lower than sulfur dioxide and other traditional pollutants, then the future VOC sewage charges in Beijing will be at least 10-12 yuan / kg.
addition to political pollution means, the economic means represented by differentiated resource prices are providing enterprises with a steady stream of anti-pollution power from another aspect in recent years. Li Lixin said that the Action Plan will make it clear that this year Beijing will fully implement the differentiated electricity price policy, that is, according to the energy consumption of enterprises, emissions for enterprises to develop a ladder electricity price.
According to public information, ladder electricity prices in a variety of resource products belong to the implementation of a relatively early one, last year, China began to implement the excess industry "electricity price punishment" measures, for electrolytic aluminum enterprises, according to the actual level of electricity consumption in the first half of last year, the price of electricity is determined in gear. At that time, experts in the industry said that electrolytic aluminum enterprises to implement ladder electricity prices may only be the beginning of the use of price leverage to pry overcapacity, the global

learned that the future of steel, cement and other production capacity industries will also be introduced ladder electricity price policy. According to the Action Plan, this year will be the first to be achieved in Beijing.
is worth noting that, unlike previous industry disclosures, this year Beijing will implement differential electricity prices, in addition to the energy consumption of enterprises, but also linked to the amount of emissions. Expert analysis said that this is closely related to the previous part of the enterprise in the installation of relevant environmental protection facilities, enjoy the environmental protection tariff policy on a large number of sewage, and even fraud and not normal operation of environmental protection equipment and online monitoring data facilities. "The control of energy consumption of enterprises belongs to the control of the source of production, and the control of emissions is the emphasis on the end of production, the decline in energy consumption sometimes does not necessarily mean that the amount of emissions is reduced." The expert said, therefore, according to the emissions and energy consumption double standards to determine the ladder electricity price can be more careful to form a limit on enterprises.
