Energy Saving And Emission Reduction Magic Spell Reproduces &Nbsp; Most Industries Are Killed.

Wuan is an industrial city situated at the junction of four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan.

In September 4th, the Wuan municipal government issued a production restriction order for the local iron and steel enterprises, so that the industrial town in Southern Hebei suddenly became the whole country.

This energy saving and emission reduction marathon long run suddenly became a sprint race. Many energy intensive cities tried to avoid failing in their performance, and sprinted desperately in the energy saving arena lacking the rules of the game.

China Securities Daily reporters in Hebei, Handan, Tangshan and other places survey found that although the profits of enterprises will be inevitably affected, some enterprises do not agree with the one size fits all production and production restriction practices, but they all stop production and limit production according to the government's requirements. They do not yet know when to resume normal production.

In the eyes of some executives and insiders, the production and power restriction storm may have just begun.

Wuan shock production stop shooting sprint first shot

The local steel plant has yet to get an accurate timetable for resuming production.

"A lot of rumors may soon resume production, and it will probably stop until October, only waiting for notice."

On the 7 day, the drizzle and drizzle of Handan led to the smooth passage of the 309 National Road to Wuan in its jurisdiction.

"This road was originally known as a traffic jam. It's very normal to block a few kilometers. How can we go now?"

In this 34.3 kilometer long national highway, traffic jam is directly related to the off-season peak season of the steel industry.

Every year in the peak season of steel production and marketing in September, all kinds of trucks are growing up on this national highway, pporting coal, iron concentrate and steel products.

In September this year, the accident was so cold that even the locals in Handan were surprised.

This also makes Wuan local.

Nearly 20 iron and steel enterprises in Wuan are mostly distributed around the ring road.

China Securities Daily reporters on the 7 day in the local interview, workers scattered 00 to enter the factory area, the chimney in the steel factory did not smoke.

Since the announcement of the 4 day of the Wuan municipal government, nearly 20 steel mills have ceased production in the next 2-3 days.

"We can't stop. The government has limited power consumption to enterprises, and fans can't start."

The steel workers said.

After the shutdown of the steel mills, the government asked the employees not to leave, so the steel mills are now studying and repairing, and the workers have a basic wage of 10-20 yuan per day.

No steel factory is willing to disclose the loss caused by the shutdown in the peak season.

"To braise the furnace, we must put coke into the blast furnace, and a furnace can get three hundred or four hundred tons of coke. When it is allowed to start work, Coke will be added again. The loss of nearly one million will not run away."

The steel workers said that this is only a direct loss of raw fuel.

Based on past experience, Wuan's steel plant has a profit of 200-300 yuan per ton of steel during the peak season.

If the shutdown ends at the end of September, a rough estimate is that the local steel mill in Wuan will lose 300 million -5 billion yuan.

"Since 2008, steel mills have been able to earn 2-3 months of money each year. Other times are small profits or losses.

In the peak season, the electricity will be hard to make this year. "

But the local steel plant has yet to get an accurate timetable for when to resume production.

"A lot of rumors may soon resume production, and it will probably stop until October, only waiting for notice."

Tangshan has planned production restriction pledge and decisive battle for the four quarter.

Since the beginning of September, Tangshan City has deployed more than 30 staff members in counties (cities) and key enterprises to carry out special supervision and vowed to "never complete the index".

Two or three days later, steel production and power restriction in Tangshan City began.

On the morning of September 7th, the Tangshan City government held a mobilization meeting for iron and steel production and production reduction in Guofeng iron and steel company. Peng Xuefeng, Secretary of the Tangshan Municipal Committee, who attended the new era for only a few days, attended the meeting.

The participants included the NDRC, the Bureau of industry and commerce, the heads of the districts and the heads of major steel enterprises such as Tanggang and Tangshan Jianlong.

A senior private iron and steel enterprise in Tangshan attended a meeting with China Securities Journal. The leaders of the government reiterated the determination of the power rationing and announced another indicator of power restriction for each enterprise.

Xu Tao, deputy general manager of Tangshan Jianlong steel, told the China Securities Journal reporter: "Jianlong has been asked to limit electricity, and the government documents are down. How can we not enforce them?"

But how long is the power limit and how much capacity it involves, he did not disclose.

A number of local private iron and steel enterprises said, "the reduction is indeed reduced.

September and October are the traditional peak seasons of steel city, and losses are inevitable.

The China Securities Journal reporter received a report on energy saving and emission reduction in Tangshan City, which was released in September 6th.

This is the Tangshan City government's report to the State Council's energy conservation and emission reduction inspection team.

In the "report", the Tangshan City government said, "in the first half of this year, some indicators of energy saving and emission reduction in our city will not rise and fall. We are deeply stressed and have great responsibilities". "In September, the four quarter of the decisive battle", at any cost, without any conditions, we will resolutely accomplish the tasks of energy saving and emission reduction this year and 11th Five-Year, with a strong spirit, and hand in a satisfactory answer to the State Council and the provincial government.

A person in charge of the Propaganda Bureau of the Tangshan Municipal Committee told the China Securities Journal reporter that Tangshan's energy consumption accounts for 1/3 of the province's total, and Tangshan City has great pressure and determination. This is also such a harsh policy in Tangshan's history.

Since the beginning of September, Tangshan City has been led by the comprehensive supervision bureau, and deployed more than 30 staff members in the county (city) area and key enterprises to conduct special supervision.

The general office of the Tangshan City government has issued the notice on the output control plan for the production of high energy consumption and high pollution industries (referred to as the "Notice of control plan"), which issued instructions for limiting production for 30 iron and steel enterprises and 22 coking enterprises.

When the document was issued, it clearly stated that "we must take the quota as a hard task and a death order, and act quickly, without paying the price and putting it all in place."

In order to solve the technical problems of how to assess the power consumption index of enterprises, the Tangshan City development and Reform Commission made an urgent adjustment on the implementation details of the electricity limit in the morning of September 7th. In the morning of September 8th, the relevant departments will go to the districts and counties with the power companies to understand the operation of the actual power restriction.

The head of the Tangshan City development and Reform Commission, a leading group of energy conservation and emission reduction, told the China Securities Journal reporter that all the power limitation tasks have been allocated to all districts and counties, specifically to every enterprise.

But now there is a specific operational problem: the Tangshan City power grid is not divided into districts and counties, and the tasks are divided by districts and counties.

In addition, the limited index mainly refers to the past production data and electricity consumption data, but if the factory has its own power supply and large and low pressure projects, the effect of power restriction is not obvious.

According to the "control plan notice", the total output of steel in Tangshan will be controlled within 3 million 560 thousand tons in -12 month in September, and the output will be controlled at 67 million 500 thousand tons in 2010.

In 1-7 months, the crude steel output in Tangshan City reached 47 million 250 thousand tons, of which the crude steel output in July was 5 million 980 thousand tons.

According to this calculation, in the 4 months after this year, the gross output of crude steel in Tangshan area may decrease by about 4 yuan, but the actual reduction of production intensity of each enterprise is quite different.

As for more iron and steel enterprises that are not on the list of limited production, according to the survey conducted by the China Securities Journal reporter, they are basically shut down rather than power rationing.

Tangshan Hongyu iron and Steel Co., Ltd., a person in charge of the China Securities Journal reporter said that the company has stopped production on the 6 day, three hundred or four hundred workers have to rest home, the factory did not know when to receive notice.

Hongyu steel has a capacity of 350 thousand tons, mainly producing low-end products of flat steel and angle steel, which belong to typical small iron and steel plants.

The pressure of accountability system gives birth to a rare killer.

The "energy saving and emission reduction test for 11th Five-Year" is coming. If we do not sprint again, we will fail the exam.

The achievement of energy saving and emission reduction indicators is directly linked to the evaluation of governments around the country.

Industrial cities took turns in supporting GDP's pillar industries in the support area.

The reason seems relatively simple. "Energy saving and emission reduction test for 11th Five-Year" will soon take place, and if it does not sprint, it will fail.

According to the "11th Five-Year plan" requirement, the energy consumption of 10000 yuan GDP will drop by 20% compared with the end of 2005.

According to the statistics of National Bureau of statistics, the energy consumption of 10000 yuan GDP increased by 0.09% in the first half of this year, and the energy consumption of GDP in 7 local units increased. It is still very difficult to achieve the target of 5.2% reduction in the whole year.

For Hebei, a big iron and steel Province, the pressure of emission reduction is also enormous.

In the first half of 2010, the energy consumption of Hebei yuan GDP decreased by 1.35% compared with the same period last year. In order to achieve the overall energy saving target of 11th Five-Year, the energy consumption of Hebei yuan GDP in the second half of the year will have to drop by 2.65%, which is about 2 times that of the first half of the year.

The Hebei provincial development and Reform Commission said that the province has given yellow card warning to the 9 districts, namely, Chengde, Zhangjiakou, Langfang, Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Handan, Tangshan, Hengshui and Cangzhou, which are relatively backward in energy saving and emission reduction in the first half of the year.

In the first half of 2010, the energy consumption of 10000 yuan GDP in Tangshan City reached 2.4176 tons of standard coal, a decrease of 0.2% compared with the same period last year. After the new amount of sulfur dioxide was deducted from the new amount, it increased by 21 thousand and 500 tons instead of 21 thousand and 500 tons, an increase of 14.65%.

The achievement of energy saving and emission reduction indicators is directly linked to the evaluation of governments around the country.

According to the implementation plan of "double thirty" key counties (cities, districts) and key enterprises' energy conservation and emission reduction targets assessment formulated at the end of 2007 in Hebei, the leading officials of counties (cities and districts) who have not completed the goals of the "double thirty" key counties (cities, districts) and key enterprises in the assessment results of energy conservation and emission reduction targets have been ordered to take the blame and resign, and the legal representatives of state-owned enterprises have been removed from their posts in situ, and private enterprises have been ordered to stop production and regulation according to law.

Wuan and Tangshan Qian'an are listed in the "double thirty" range.

The head of a steel plant in Hebei told such a detail: the mayor of an industrial town told the leaders of counties and cities in a district's energy saving and emission reduction mobilization meeting that the task of energy conservation and emission reduction must be completed, or that the next meeting would be not yours.

China Securities Journal reporter learned from the Hebei provincial development and Reform Commission, in order to ensure the completion of energy-saving emission reduction targets, the province put forward four major work priorities.

First, strictly control the "two high" projects.

The two high projects will no longer be approved; all the "two high" projects that will be built in the year and which may affect energy saving and emission reduction will be put into production. The construction progress will be appropriately adjusted for the "two high" projects to be completed, and the production date will be extended until 2011 if necessary.

Two, eliminate backward production capacity on time.

In the three quarter of this year, the iron and steel industry will complete the elimination of small blast furnace less than 300 cubic meters, and the threshold for elimination will be raised to 400 cubic meters in 2011.

The three is the pre assessment of energy saving and emission reduction in October.

The four is to start shutting down plans.

In accordance with the requirements of the annual energy saving and emission reduction targets, the index will be completed in the next few months. We should take into account the "two high" enterprises' output and energy consumption, sewage disposal and so on, and improve the plan for closing down the limited production plan so as to achieve timely and orderly implementation.

Tangshan City has already launched an emergency power restriction, production restriction and shutdown plan, and plans to reduce electricity consumption by 1 billion 600 million degrees.

That is to say, the measures to limit production and stop production in successive counties and cities in Hebei province are based on the authority granted by the "closed down plan".

Jie Zhenhua, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, said in an interview with the media that strengthening energy conservation supervision in key areas is one of the important means to achieve the goal of saving energy in 11th Five-Year.

Spread many areas may continue to read energy saving magic spell

At present, the storm of energy saving and emission reduction is probably just beginning. After that, a considerable number of provinces will join in the tide of limiting production and limiting electricity.

"Other areas will not follow suit, but how to carry out the requirements of the state."

Hebei provincial government officials said that Hebei province launched a shutdown plan at the provincial level, and the practice of limiting production and stopping production in various cities is actually implementing the policy.

According to incomplete statistics, in addition to the north of the river, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanxi and other provinces have also made restrictions on production and production of high energy consuming industries.

"My steel" network analysis shows that the poor performance in the first half of 2010 is an important reason for increasing the intensity of emission reduction in recent years. It is estimated that the current energy saving and emission reduction storm is probably just beginning. In the later stage, a considerable number of provinces will join the tide of limiting production and power rationing. The impact on the steel and iron industry will probably continue to expand, and the actions of late Shandong, Liaoning, Henan, Sichuan, Shanghai and Anhui deserve special attention.

Data show that as of the end of 2009, the energy consumption of Liaoning yuan GDP has been reduced by 16.31%, and the target of 4.41% reduction in 2010 will be completed. In the first half of this year, the figure of the province increased by 0.32%, and the pressure of energy saving was greater.

So is Shandong, a big steel producing province.

In addition, crude steel accounted for a large number of Shanghai, Henan and other places in 2010 to complete the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, and the performance in the first half is not good, so later pressure is relatively large.

Although Anhui and Sichuan performed slightly better in the first half of the year, their tasks were arduous throughout the whole year, and the overall pressure was not small.

Analysts said that the crude steel output of the provinces mentioned above accounted for about 30% of the country's total. If these provinces and cities subsequently adopted power restriction and production restriction measures, the steel industry would have a great impact.

According to the preliminary calculation of "my steel" network, the power restriction measures will affect about 8-12 tons of crude steel output in the whole country to about 25 million 700 thousand tons, which will reduce the crude steel supply in late period by about 9.6%.

Of course, there will be no deadline for limiting production and shutting down production. The industry is concerned that after the end of the mandatory power restriction and shut-down operations, it may cause retaliatory growth in steel production, which will have an adverse impact on enterprises and industries.

Of course, the steel industry is not a case.

Recently, high energy consuming industries such as cement, electrolytic aluminum and so on have also heard the news of limiting production and shutting down production. The impact of energy saving and emission reduction storms is likely to spread to many areas of high energy consuming industries.

For example, Zhejiang in August and August stopped production for local cement kiln for 18 days, and the power supply measures for cement enterprises were implemented in many areas of the city from September to December for 7 days.

Looking ahead to 12th Five-Year energy saving indicators or adjusting measures to local conditions

For the high energy consuming industries, "one size fits all" restrictions on production and shut-down will lead to injury to enterprises that really work in energy conservation and emission reduction, which is not conducive to the continuous promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction.

However, some enterprises and industry experts do not agree with this sway of energy conservation and emission reduction.

"It's unfair," said a local iron and steel company in Wuan. At present, all blast furnace equipment of the company is equipped with energy saving equipment such as gas power generation, differential pressure power generation, gas recovery and so on. The energy consumption index is good in the local area, but it is required to stop production at the same time.

There are also those in charge of enterprises who believe that the same way of dealing with the overall energy restriction and production of the high energy consuming industries and the enterprises with different energy saving levels actually blow the enthusiasm of the enterprises that really carry out energy conservation and reconstruction.

Wu Cheng, general manager of the "steel home" website with more than 20 years of experience in iron and steel industry, said that if it is not in line with the industrial policy, there is nothing to say about stopping production and rectification, but now it is too loose for energy management in the early stage.

Government officials have introduced the principle of territorial management for energy conservation, and the main task of achieving the goal of energy saving is led by the county level government.

This has brought about the energy saving sprint action of the county level government to the enterprises in the area to slam the gate, and the government at the municipal level is not even aware of the situation.

Moreover, what criteria the government chooses is not clear.

"There is no clear standard of energy consumption for enterprises with limited production."

He said, according to the requirements, "the end of 11th Five-Year" account year, if some areas think that the completion of energy saving indicators, we can take power restriction, limit production, or even stop production measures, and choose which enterprises are decided by the local government.

In general, high energy consumption projects with irregular approval procedures will be selected first.

"If we stop this month, we will get through the business. If we rush this year for energy saving targets, who can bear it?" the Hebei iron and steel enterprises said, limiting production and shutting down would have great impact on the operation of the enterprises.

Some analysts believe that, from the current situation, the pressure of the local governments to achieve "11th Five-Year" emission reduction targets is very great, but they are very determined, so it is not easy to let go until the end of the year, unless the limited production leads to a serious shortage of supply, which will lead to the steel price rising crazily.

"Does the collective electricity restriction on steel mean that our industry has not done well?" Wang Dayong, Secretary General of the Hebei Metallurgical Industry Association, said that although the production and production of high energy consuming steel industry could reduce the energy consumption of 10000 yuan GDP in a region, the industrial orientation of different regions is different. Not every region is suitable for the development of the third industry and manufacturing industry. In the process of industrialization in China, there is still a need for heavy chemical industrial base.

He believes that the "one size fits all" restriction on production and production of high energy consuming industries will cause injuries to the enterprises that really work on energy conservation and emission reduction, which is not conducive to the continuous promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction.

A government official in Hebei also believes that in the tide of overall economic restructuring, if we can not adjust measures to local conditions and take the same energy-saving targets in different regions, we will not be conducive to the layout of the overall economic structural adjustment.

At present, in the process of pferring China's manufacturing industry to the central and western regions and pferring the steel industry to the coastal areas, there is an unscientific place for reducing the energy consumption of GDP in all parts of the country.

It is reported that the national development and Reform Commission is discussing the energy conservation targets for the "12th Five-Year" period.

In order to avoid the situation of "whipping fast cattle", the energy saving targets at the end of 12th Five-Year are likely to be based on the end of 2005. At the same time, the NDRC is considering setting different "12th Five-Year" energy saving indicators for different regions, so as to promote the work of energy conservation and emission reduction according to local conditions.

The officials of the Hebei provincial government said that the purpose of completing the "11th Five-Year" energy saving target is to use some unconventional measures. Limiting production is a special means in a special period. In the face of the coming "12th Five-Year", adjusting the industrial structure is the core of achieving the task of energy saving and emission reduction.
