In the past few days, high-temperature orange or yellow warning signals have been issued continuously from the meteorological departments of Jiangsu Province and the municipalities under its jurisdiction. This has made the energy shortage situation in Jiangsu more prominent.
Jiangsu is a province with a large energy consumption. More than 7% of the country’s energy is consumed by Jiangsu each year. Last year, the province’s power consumption growth ranked second in the country. The province is also a small energy resource province. The current energy self-sufficiency rate in Jiangsu is only About 10%, and in recent years, continue to decline, accounting for about 80% of the province's energy consumption of coal resources is now proven reserves only accounted for 0.58% of the country's total. However, the demand for energy in the province is growing rapidly. According to the prediction of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, in terms of electricity, this year, the province's total power utilization load is about 52 million kilowatts, an increase of 14%, and a net increase of 6.4 million kilowatts. This year, the province's coal demand is 220 million tons, of which 136 million tons are for coal, which is an increase of 8%. Nearly 90% of the coal needs to be transferred from outside the province, and the contradiction in supply is outstanding. By the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the demand for electricity in Jiangsu will increase by about 70% over the end of the “10th Five-Year Plan” period
In the face of pressure, Jiangsu Province first started with energy-consuming large households and urgently introduced large-scale energy conservation in the chemical industry and other industries, and implemented energy conservation and comprehensive utilization in various aspects such as science and technology, finance, and government assessment.
Analyzing the energy consumption structure of the industrial sector in Jiangsu, the energy consumption of the manufacturing industry, including chemicals, accounts for about 70% of the total industrial energy consumption. According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, there were seven industries in which the total energy consumption of Lianyungang exceeded 10,000 tons of standard coal, including chemical raw materials and chemical product manufacturing, chemical fiber manufacturing, etc., and the total energy consumption of the seven major industries totaled 745,600. Tons of standard coal accounted for 91.3% of the total industrial energy consumption above designated size, and the chemical industry is a key industry for energy conservation and consumption reduction in the city. Nanjing is a heavy chemical industrial city. In 2007, the city’s energy consumption per million yuan was 0.5 tons of standard coal, which focused on 85% of the city’s industrial energy consumption, including petroleum processing coking and nuclear fuel processing, The energy consumption of chemical raw materials and chemical manufacturing ranks in the forefront of energy consumption in the city. It can be seen that Jiangsu Province has caught energy, and the chemical industry bears the brunt.
To do a good job of chemical energy conservation, Jiangsu Province took the lead in the "elimination of backward production capacity." Taking the opportunity of last year’s cyanobacterial event in Taihu Lake, since last year, Jiangsu has closed more than 2,000 small chemical companies, and a large number of backward chemical production capacity has been eliminated.
Subsequently, according to a survey conducted by the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Congress Standing Committee on Finance and Economics last year, Jiangsu Province has generally established an investment access system to eliminate the development of high-energy-consuming projects from the source.
Financial leverage will play a very important role in energy saving. Jiangsu Province stipulates that 50% of provincial-level fiscal revenues and 2% of GDP of local governments are used for energy conservation and emission reduction. Among them, in accordance with the "Provisional Measures for the Management of Energy-saving Technological Transformation Fiscal Incentive Funds," enterprises that use energy of more than 10,000 tons will receive 200 yuan for every 1 ton of standard coal saved. According to the Provincial Department of Finance, the amount of awards in Jiangsu Province will be appropriately raised on a national basis, with an additional RMB 2 billion in bonus funds.
Jiangsu Province will also vigorously support scientific and technological innovations in energy conservation and consumption reduction in chemical companies, and widely promote cleaner production technologies in chemical companies. According to news from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology, by 2010, the province will focus on ten major energy-saving and emission reduction key technology areas, including energy conservation, new energy applications, and waste disposal, and will conquer 100 key common technologies and equipment, and develop and promote 100 practical technologies. Cultivate and support 100 energy-saving emission reduction demonstration enterprises.
In addition, the revision of the “Energy Conservation Regulations of Jiangsu Province” has been under investigation. It is said that the statistics department will establish a statistical system that can reflect the energy consumption level, energy conservation target responsibility and evaluation and assessment system in various regions, and incorporate the energy consumption index of GDP into the government assessment system. , Consider being implemented as a hard indicator.
The relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee of the Municipal Commission of the Capital Environment said that the pressure of energy also enabled Jiangsu to usher in a major opportunity for the adjustment of the province’s industrial structure. “Good will be better, disadvantages will be eliminated, so as to achieve the overall economic structure. The purpose of optimization."
