Because of The Winter Olympics, All Heavy Industries Will Stop Production for Three Months? ! Multiple Responses: Untrue!
Shutdown is true, it is limited production and staggered production in autumn and winter! It is false news that the production suspension caused by the Winter Olympics is false.
"Suspension" mainly refers to limited production in autumn and winter and staggered production
At present, the policy of restricting production in winter and shifting production peaks is mainly aimed at heavy industry enterprises.
On October 29, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a press conference to clarify the main goals and specific tasks of the air pollution prevention and control work in this autumn and winter.
Main goals: During autumn and winter, the average concentration of PM2.5 in relevant cities in the area of 2021-2022 in autumn and winter will drop by 4.0% year-on-year, and the number of heavy pollution days will be reduced by an average of 2.0 days per city.
Specific tasks: Resolutely curb the blind development of "two highs" projects, implement the requirements of the steel industry to reduce production, steadily implement loose coal treatment, carry out comprehensive renovation of boilers and kilns, promote the investigation and remediation of volatile organic compounds, and promote the pollution treatment of diesel trucks. Bulk cargo "revolution to iron" and "iron to water", control of banning straw burning, comprehensive control of dust, etc.
Key objects:
Focusing on petrochemical, chemical, coal chemical, coking, steel, building materials, non-ferrous metals, coal power and other industries, comprehensively sort out the proposed, under construction, and inventory "two highs" projects, and implement inventory management of the "two highs" projects. Classified disposal and dynamic monitoring. Strictly implement the requirements of "dual control" of energy consumption, capacity replacement, regional reduction of pollutants, and coal reduction and substitution. The "two highs" projects that do not meet the requirements must be resolutely rectified.
Focusing on industries and industrial parks such as ports and thermal power, steel, petrochemical, chemical, coal, coke, non-ferrous metals, building materials (including sand and gravel aggregates), etc., conduct a thorough investigation of bulk cargo transportation and verify clean transportation of railways, waterways, and pipelines one by one. According to the situation, the “one enterprise, one policy” plan to adjust the bulk cargo transportation structure of ports and key industries will be completed by the end of December. Accelerate the increase in the freight volume of Tang-Cao and Qian-Cao railways, and the Shui-Cao railway will be opened to traffic at the end of the year. Key regional municipalities and provincial capitals Promote the "internal collection and external distribution" urban logistics road-rail combined transportation method.
On November 2, the Office of the Leading Group for the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution in Zhengzhou issued the "Notice on Issuing a Yellow Warning for Heavy Pollution Weather", which will initiate a Class III response to heavy pollution weather at 17:00 on November 2, 2021. Zhengzhou City will take the following emergency response measures:
1. All 64 "double high" enterprise users issued by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission have ceased production.
2. 2118 enterprises adopt "open three and stop four" to carry out the rotation and rotation, and the specific rotation and rotation date shall be determined according to the company's rotation regulations and rotation code.
3. The cement, steel, brick and tile kiln enterprises involved in the Electricity Regulation and Control Notice of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology continue to implement electricity regulation and require continuous suspension of production.
On November 13, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Notice on Launching Staggered Production of the Iron and Steel Industry in the Heating Season of 2021-2022 in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Surrounding Areas." Five provinces and cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi and Shandong.
It is understood that the scope of limited production in autumn and winter will be expanded. On the basis of the original, most areas of Shandong and Liaoning will be restricted. The limited production period of the oil refining industry will start in mid-November or early December and end in mid-March. During the period, the intensity of production reduction may be around 30%.
Production restrictions will be stricter
In the past four years, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has imposed "autumn and winter production restrictions" on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei 2+26 city and surrounding areas. This year, the production restriction areas and strengths may change from the previous period before and after the two Olympic Games.
According to the response of market stakeholders, the scope of the current production restriction will be expanded. On the basis of the original autumn and winter production restrictions, most areas of Shandong and Liaoning will be restricted, and the oil refining industry will be restricted from mid-November or early December. From the beginning, to the end of mid-March, during the period, the intensity of production reduction may be around 30%.
However, many parties said that they had not received such news as "all heavy industries stopped production for three months and the Winter Olympics triggered." Please tell me about this article and send it to friends who have wrong opinions due to false information on the Internet! Xiao Bian thanks!
