In the “Emergency Notice on Soliciting Opinions on the Jiangsu Province Chemical Industry Rectification and Improvement Plan (Draft for Comments)” issued online by the General Office of the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government on April 1, Such a description: It is planned to significantly reduce the number of chemical production enterprises below designated size within 1 kilometer on both sides of the main branches of the Yangtze River, in environmentally sensitive areas, densely populated urban areas, outside chemical industry parks. Specific measures include reducing the number of chemical production companies in the province to 2,000 by the end of 2020. By 2022, the number of chemical production companies in the province will not exceed 1,000.
Currently, this plan is still in the research stage, but it has caused an uproar in Jiangsu Province and even the country.
According to information provided by the Jiangsu Chemical Industry Association, as of the end of 2018, there were 4,280 chemical companies in Jiangsu Province. The main business revenue of the chemical industry is more than 2 trillion yuan, ranking second in the country.
Qin Zhiqiang, President of the Jiangsu Chemical Industry Association, said in an interview with reporters on April 9 that if the This “Plan” means that 2,280 chemical companies will be eliminated in less than 2 years from this year to the end of 2020, and from 2020 to 2022, half of the companies of a certain scale will be eliminated.
In addition, according to the “Plan”, it is proposed to “reduce the number of chemical production enterprises along the Yangtze River and prohibit It is strictly prohibited to build or expand petrochemical and coal chemical projects within 1 kilometers of the Yangtze River trunk and tributaries.” Qin Zhiqiang said: “There are some very good enterprises scattered along the river in Jiangsu Province. Once the existing ones cannot be allowed to When companies launch new projects, it is tantamount to killing these good companies. This ‘one size fits all’ approach that ignores market rules and the needs of sustained and healthy development of the industry is very inappropriate. After the particularly major explosion in Xiangshui on March 21, The Yancheng City Government announced the complete closure of Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park, and absurdly proposed to support various regions in building “chemical-free zones”. Governments at all levels have also intensively introduced a series of measures to focus on rectification and rectification. We hope that these measures will be effective It is conducive to the healthy development of the industry to ‘make up for the situation’, rather than to ‘slaughter the sheep after it is lost’ that is unrealistic.”
In addition, the “Plan” also proposed that “the number of chemical industry parks may be reduced from 50 to 20.” “Raise industry access thresholds. Raise industry access thresholds from aspects such as planning, investment, technology, quality, safety, environmental protection, energy consumption, land use, etc. In principle, the investment amount for new chemical projects should not be less than 1 billion yuan.”
Many companies are worried about this. A person in charge of an enterprise said that over the years, Jiangsu Province has targeted chemical enterprises one after another, which to a certain extent is conducive to the transformation and upgrading of the industry. However, this time’s approach is unacceptable to enterprises. On the one hand, the park does need to be improved, but reducing the number is not problem-oriented. Some good parks and outstanding companies in the park will be greatly harmed. As a result, those who have a market will have to withdraw from the market, and enterprises with advantages will also lose their advantages.
On the other hand, the investment amount of new projects must be no less than 1 billion yuan, while fine chemical projects Investment often does not require 1 billion yuan at all. He is even more worried that if this continues, it will restrict the investment and development of fine chemical projects. “The fine chemical industry involves high-precision technology, equipment and new materials. If it is monopolized by foreign capital, it is likely to be as controlled by others as the chip industry in the future.” The person in charge of the company said helplessly.
“The strong response from the industry has attracted great attention from the Jiangsu Provincial Committee and Provincial Government. On April 8, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee The Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting and emphasized the need to implement classified policies and systematically promote the rectification and improvement of the province’s chemical industry.” Qin Zhiqiang said.
