All chemical enterprises in key control areas in Yunnan have met the strictest safety and environmental protection standards

Recently, the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission has solicited public opinions on the "Yunnan Province's 14th Five-Year Plan for the Chemical Pollution Control Work Plan of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (Draft for Comment)"
.

The "Plan" clarifies that by 2025, the chemical pollution control in the Yangtze River Economic Belt will be further advanced, the chemical industry pollution in the key control areas will be effectively controlled and comprehensively treated, and the backward production capacity in the chemical industry should be retired in accordance with laws and regulations
.
The proportion of high value-added products in the province has increased significantly, a number of domestic leading high-level chemical parks have been cultivated, and the chemical industry in key control areas has achieved high-quality development
.

Key industries include refined petroleum product manufacturing, coal processing, biomass fuel processing and other petroleum, coal and other fuel processing industries; basic chemical raw materials, fertilizers, pesticides, paints, inks, pigments and similar products, synthetic materials, special chemical products, explosives and pyrotechnics And fireworks products, daily chemical products manufacturing and other chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing
.

The key pollutants to be treated are: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, other odors, hydrogen fluoride, arsenic-containing waste gas and other toxic and harmful waste gas; industrial waste water, rainwater in the early stage of chemical industry, difficult waste water; high concentration mother liquor, fine distillation residue , salt-containing organic waste liquid and other wastes; general industrial solid waste, hazardous waste, waste hazardous chemicals, toxic and harmful soil pollutants,
etc.

The key control areas are: within one kilometer of the coastline of the main stream of the Jinsha River and the first and second-level tributaries, within one kilometer of the coastline of the main stream of the Chishui River, Nanguang River, Wujiang River and the first-level tributaries, and within one kilometer of the coastline of the Nanpan River, Yuanjiang River, Lancang River and Nujiang River.
, within one kilometer of the coastline of the main stream of the Dulong River, as well as the nine plateau lake basins of Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake, Fuxian Lake, Chenghai Lake, Lugu Lake, Qilu Lake, Xingyun Lake, Yangzonghai, and Yilong Lake
.

The "Plan" requires resolutely shutting down phase-out projects in key control areas
.
For chemical projects with outdated process technology, low level of intrinsic safety, and no conditions for safe production, resolutely eliminate outdated production capacity
.
Hazardous chemical production enterprises in densely populated urban areas and unwilling to relocate to chemical industrial parks will be closed and withdrawn within a time limit
.
Seriously investigate and deal with illegal subcontracting and subcontracting in high-risk industries
.

The "Plan" encourages qualified chemical projects to move out of key control areas, encourages chemical projects to gradually move into chemical parks, and promotes the relocation and transformation of hazardous chemical production enterprises in densely populated urban areas
.
The relocation project shall be upgraded in accordance with the most stringent safety and environmental protection standards, and the pollutant discharge shall be fully and stably up to the standard
.

The "Plan" requires strict control over the construction of chemical projects
.
It is forbidden to build, renovate or expand chemical parks and chemical projects (except safety, environmental protection, energy saving and intelligent transformation projects) in key control areas
.
The province's newly-built hazardous chemical production projects must enter chemical parks with general or lower safety risks (except for projects built in conjunction with production facilities in other industries), and strictly control toxic chemicals involving phosgene, chlor-alkali, synthetic ammonia, ammonium nitrate, ammonium chlorate, etc.
Gas and explosion hazardous chemicals construction projects
.
The province's new chemical projects should be in the chemical industry park
.

Some traditional chemical industries are transferred from the eastern coastal areas to the central and western regions.
The "Plan" proposes that the layout of major industries should be led by the state.
Diqing, Lijiang, Dali, Chuxiong, Kunming, Qujing, and Zhaotong are prohibited from undertaking the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Transferred heavily polluting enterprises and projects
.

At the same time, it is necessary to steadily carry out the identification of chemical parks, complete the identification of chemical parks in the province by the end of 2023, and improve the two lists of chemical parks and chemical enterprises
.
The chemical parks that have passed the provincial certification should rely on the industrial silicon industry foundation, vigorously develop organic silicon monomers, and actively introduce organic silicon downstream production enterprises
.
Encourage and support the development and production of petroleum fine chemical products, new fertilizers, bioethanol to ethylene, deep-processed natural rubber products, and hydrogen chemical products, as well as the development and utilization of lithium resources in central Yunnan and the development of the industrial chain
