Can the government support more?
A 12th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy, including the conservation and effective use of water resources, has been finalized. After two revisions of the draft, the NDRC is planning to report the 12th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy to the State Council. There will be no accidents, and the plan will be announced in the second half of the year. The "China Business News" reporter learned from the insiders: "The plan mainly proposes the recycling of sound resources, builds a large number of circular economy parks, and supports the corresponding environmental technology investment."
“Ten Thousand Thousands†Project Drives Circular Economy
Different from the traditional economic “resource-product-waste†production process, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, the NDRC will mainly promote the production mode of circular economy, that is, recycling various resources and reducing waste in the same industrial park. “Not long ago, I inspected some industrial parks that developed the marine economy. I found that there is a big problem now, that is, we develop chemical and high-energy-consuming industries, and the environment is very polluted.†Drafting Group of the Circular Economy Promotion Law Sun Youhai, the leader of the team, recently participated in the formulation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy". He told reporters that "the country has recently made some new deployments in the development of circular economy, such as the development of the national circular economy. Five' planning, further selecting a number of industrial parks throughout the country for recycling."
In addition, Yang Chunping, the director of the Circular Economy Research Center of the Economic Development and Reform Research Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, also participated in the 12th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy. He also revealed to reporters that "we have proposed a relatively large project called '100Hour'. Ten is the top ten projects. One hundred is a demonstration city county with a circular economy. Thousands are thousands of circular economy demonstration enterprises and parks."
Renovating and constructing a circular economy demonstration park means that in the future, the development of industrial parks will require comprehensive control of land, energy, water resources utilization and pollutant discharge for enterprises entering the park, “to achieve intensive use of land, waste exchange and utilization, Wastewater recycling and centralized treatment of pollutants.†At present, the industrial parks with “resources-products-waste†production process will face transformation. The reporter learned that this will involve industrial parks in 17 provinces. Renovation and construction.
At the same time, most of the enterprises in the industrial park are industrial enterprises, "the resource utilization rate will increase to 15%."
It is understood that there is no exact report on the resource output rate in China at present, but in some localities, the relevant departments have experimental statistics, and the circular economy is applied in industry, which can increase the output rate by five times.
Cost hinders corporate enthusiasm
At present, the associated gas and associated impurities mainly produced in industrial parks are the most headaches of major industrial enterprises. If large-scale recycling is achieved, these companion biomass needs to be recycled through special chemical plants or technologies.
It is reported that China's low-carbon emission reduction business opportunities are 300 billion US dollars. It can be expected that this project involving 17 provinces and thousands of industrial parks will drive the emission reduction market. At present, in the field of specialty chemistry, foreign companies have a relatively obvious technical advantage. Technology transfer or input costs are high. Due to the high cost of recycling, it hinders the enthusiasm of the company. The silica recycling project, which was listed as a demonstration project in Jiangxi Province, is facing this problem.
The silica industry is a high energy consuming industry. In April of this year, Bluestar, a subsidiary of China National Chemical Corporation, and Cabot, a US specialty chemical company, joined forces to carry out capacity expansion projects in Jiangxi. The project converts the by-products of Bluestar into fumed silica, and then returns the product to Bluestar for use, thus achieving material recycling. Because it belongs to the circular economy, the project was supported by Jiangxi Province and even listed as a demonstration project by Jiangxi Province.
“The current emission reduction and environmental standards are much lower than the government regulations,†said Ca Bait, President and CEO of Cabot. “But the fumed silica produced by Cabot is costly, and Other product plants that also produce silica are less expensive due to lack of environmental protection. Price wars are fierce in this industry, and companies that invest in circular economy face the challenges of profitability and survival.
"We sometimes encounter competitors to lower prices, but in the long run, we can still develop in a profitable mode." Pu Baichun said. In the production area of ​​the factory, there is still a zone for further expansion. The reporter learned that the price of fumed silica produced by this process is higher than that of similar products that do not adopt recycling technology.
Urging the follow-up of incentive regulations
“The biggest factor affecting the circular economy is the cost of the enterprise, including the cost of environmental protection.†Sun Youhai told reporters, “The dispute between our experts is also relatively large in this regard.†It is understood that the government can give more enterprises. The incentives have become the focus of controversy.
It may be just a subtle policy support, and companies will support the circular economy. At present, there are thousands of large and small enterprises in China's solar home appliance market. Many SMEs do not pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection in the production process. At the same time, the market does not have specific hard indicators for product standards, and the quality of products varies greatly, resulting in huge price differences. In this market environment, the advantages of enterprises with high environmental costs and high technology investment are not obvious. Until June 2012, the Ministry of Finance announced the details of energy-saving subsidies for home appliances, of which energy-saving subsidies for the production process, while using energy-efficient subsidies for efficient solar water heaters are most significant. The amount of subsidies is close to 4 billion yuan, accounting for 15% of the total subsidy amount of the subsidy program.
The reporter observed that "high-efficiency solar water heater subsidies are 100 yuan to 550 yuan per unit." At the same time, the subsidy program evaluated the product energy-saving technology. It is understood that the first round of solar energy companies that applied for subsidies to the country's Huimin has exceeded 200, but only 20 companies have been selected. "This means that small and medium-sized solar water heater brands are missing an important market because of lack of energy-saving management, and will even be shuffled." Home appliance industry insiders told reporters.
Industrial parks develop a model of circular economy that can pay off in individual industries, but more companies still face the dilemma of technology investment. Bi Tao, deputy director of the Policy and Regulation Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, told reporters that for the technical investment in environmental protection and circular economy, "the future is direct government investment and policy investment, and then innovation and promotion of environmental protection and energy-saving product innovation, new channels for investment development. Encourage multi-channel environmental protection industry funds, equity investment, social donations, international aid, investment in commercial banks, etc. This will promote the development of China's circular economy and environmental protection industry."
