Jiangsu Remediation Chemical Industry: How the Yangtze River Economic Belt Co-exists with the Chemical Park

industry sources told the 21st Century Economic Report that the chemical industry is showing a trend of layout from the river to the coast, from the garden to the parkAfter reducing backward production capacity, the future market may be goodthe sound water chemical park was completely closed, Jiangsu Province on the chemical industry's rectification is now a "big trick." Recently, a document entitled "Jiangsu Province Chemical Industry Rectification and Promotion Program (Draft for Comments)" (hereinafter referred to as "Draft for Comments") circulated on the Internetthe Draft for Comments to significantly reduce the scope of 1 km along the main tributaries of the Yangtze River, environmentally sensitive areas, urban densely populated areas, chemical parks outside, the scale below and other chemical production enterprisesAs of the first quarter of 2017, there were 6,884 chemical production enterprises in Jiangsu ProvinceToday, that number has fallen sharply, with more than 2,600 chemical companies shut down in 2017 and 2018, according to official figuresWang Zhizhong, deputy secretary-general of the Jiangsu provincial government of, said in September 2018 that 1,000 chemical enterprises with environmental protection standards and high safety risks would be shut down in the next three yearsAccording to the Draft for Comments, the closure of chemical enterprises will be significantly accelerated, by the end of 2020, the number of chemical production enterprises in the province to 2000, by 2022 no more than 1000in addition to Jiangsu, the entire Yangtze River basin is dense with more than 400,000 chemical enterprisesAfter the water accident, many provinces are carrying out chemical enterprises safety hazardsWill the layout of the chemical industry be adjusted in the future? Several industry sources told the 21st Century Economic Report that the chemical industry is showing a trend of layout from the river to the coast, from the outside of the park to the parkAfter reducing backward production capacity, the future market may be goodthe structure of five types of chemical enterprises in the "Draft for Comments" on the impact of geometricof Jiangsu chemical industry4,447 chemical companies will be directly affected, and some will be shut down by 2020safety and environmental protection is the reason for closure, these enterprises are distributed along the main tributary of the Yangtze River within 1 km, outside the chemical park, Taihu first-level protected area, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (South-North Water Transfer East Line) and Tongyu River clear water channel on both sides of the 1 km range, and the urban densely populated areas of the safe and health protection distance is not up to standard "as long as enterprises meet safety and environmental protection standards, in line with national industrial policies, the government is supporting development." "The relevant departments of Jiangsu Province, who prepared the document, told the 21st Century Economic Report on April 8 Industry sources who with knowledge of the drafting of the document also told the 21st Century economic report that the relevant government departments are improving the program chemical industry is the second largest industry in Jiangsu Province, the total output value of the chemical industry in Jiangsu Province in 2017 exceeded 2 trillion yuan, accounting for about 13.3% of the province's total industrial economy and 15% of the total amount of the national chemical industry " Jiangsu chemical industry has a large total amount, many enterprises, scattered characteristics Industry sources with knowledge of the drafting of the document said Wu Fuxiang, a researcher at the Yangtze River Industrial And Economic Research Institute at Nanjing University in , wrote in August last year that more than half of Jiangsu's small and medium-sized chemical enterprises are scattered outside the chemical park Energy and resource utilization efficiency is generally low, technology and equipment technology is simple, so that production, storage, transportation and other links of safety and environmental protection hidden dangers So, what impact will this rectification have on the chemical market? A multinational chemical enterprise in Suzhou told reporters, "This round of rectification will only be good for large chemical enterprises, eliminating irregular, non-standard enterprises conducive to industry upgrading." "
can be compared with the end of 2016 in Jiangsu Province began environmental protection Wang Haihui, a senior economist at the Nanjing branch of Chinese Minbank, and others in 2017 surveyed 180 chemical enterprises in 9 cities in Jiangsu Province and found that the round of rectification was shut down mainly by small and micro enterprises, with limited impact on regional chemical production capacity For example, a city closed enterprises accounted for 36% of the total, tax accounted for only 1.88 percent, the annual output value of a single closed enterprise is only 9.24 million yuan Wang Haihui and others also found that, with the enterprise environmental protection rectification standards, the late production capacity continues to release, environmental remediation on the province's capacity will gradually fade Environmental protection has led to a contraction in supply, a sharp rise in the price of chemical products, and an improvement in corporate profits how chemical enterprises should lay out not only Jiangsu, the entire Yangtze River along the chemical enterprises have been dense It is reported that there are more than 400,000 chemical enterprises in the Yangtze River basin, and chemical production accounts for about 46% of the country many places are taking "shut down and transfer" and other measures to protect the river with iron For example, Hubei plans to complete the transfer of chemical enterprises within 1 km of the river by December 31, 2020 Yichang City recently carried out a special inspection of 30 closed and 2 relocated chemical enterprises for soil pollution risk control, and closely guard against the environmental risks of the site left behind by the relocated enterprises Chemical Province Shandong is also carrying out hazardous chemicals enterprise safety hazard detection and rectification emergency action, as of April 1 has inspected 4050 enterprises, found problems and hidden dangers 22504 items, ordered to stop production and rectify 121 enterprises for chemical enterprises, from the river to the coast, from the park to the park has become a layout trend In 2017, 24 of Jiangsu's 54 chemical parks (concentration zones) were located in 8 cities along the river Jiangsu Province issued in September last year, "on accelerating the province's chemical steel coal power industry transformation and upgrading of high-quality development of the implementation of the opinion" put forward, a high starting point to promote the strategic transformation along the river area and the strategic layout of coastal areas This implementation opinion on the chemical industry along the river layout of the implementation of the "no increment", after the water accident, the "draft for comments" to implement a more stringent "go to the stock." but the chemical layout can not be "one size fits all" "From the industrial law point of view, the chemical industry is to be distributed along the river, along the river arrangement of chemical industry is an international experience, in order to solve the chemical industry's high water consumption, transportation costs and other issues "One environmental policy expert, who did not want to be named, said and "into the park" has become the chemical industry layout consensus "Chemical park is the carrier of carrying the healthy development of the chemical industry, and it is the trend of this industry to build a standardized chemical park Yang Ting, secretary-general of the Chemical Parks Working Committee of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, said " this is because, on the one hand, is conducive to strengthening the supervision of enterprise safety and environmental protection, on the other hand, is conducive to the formation of the chemical industry chain and supply chain, reduce the risk of dangerous chemicals transportation, reduce the operating costs of enterprises Yang Ting told the 21st Century Economic Report he believes that in the future, the competition in chemical parks will be more intense "The world's top 500 chemical enterprises must be the object of competition in various chemical parks, these enterprises will of course choose high-quality park station What is a high-quality, healthy park? For example, the campus management norms, the average management level of enterprises in the park is high, can not let an enterprise problem affect all enterprises in the park Yang Ting said
