Recently, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Henan Province mentioned in its reply to Proposal No.1 of the 1320253 of the Second Session of the 13th CPPCC that Henan Province took the lead in completing the transformation of ultra-low emissions in the cement industry, and the amount of pollutants discharged was reduced by more than 60% compared with that before the transformation. Forty-one cement clinker production lines adopt SCR and other high-efficiency denitrification treatment technologies, which play a leading role in the same industry and achieve positive emission reduction benefits.
Henan Province will promote the ultra-low emission transformation of the whole process and the whole process of the steel, cement and coking industries with high quality. By the end of 2024, the long-process and short-process steel enterprises will complete the organized and unorganized ultra-low emission assessment and monitoring and the publicity of the China Steel Association; the cement and coking enterprises will basically complete the organized and unorganized ultra-low emission transformation.
It is understood that the "Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emission in Cement Industry" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other five departments requires that by the end of 2025, significant progress will be made in key areas, and about 50% of cement clinker production capacity will be transformed; By the end of 2028, cement clinker production enterprises in key regions will have basically completed the transformation, and the whole country will strive to complete the transformation of about 80% of cement clinker production capacity with ultra-low emissions.
Compared with the prescribed time at the national level, Henan's completion time is more advanced, so cement enterprises should take action as soon as possible to carry out ultra-low emission transformation. Previously, Henan Province issued a regulation that if the cement enterprises in the whole province fail to complete the ultra-low emission transformation as required, all the electricity purchased online (including market-oriented trading electricity) will be subject to the policy of electricity price increase. If one of the items of "organized emission, unorganized emission and clean transportation mode" fails to meet the ultra-low emission requirements, the electricity price will be increased by 0.01 yuan per kilowatt hour; if two items fail to meet the ultra-low emission requirements, the electricity price will be increased by 0.03 yuan; if all three items meet the ultra-low emission requirements, the electricity price will be increased by 0.06 yuan. It can be seen that the earlier the enterprises complete the ultra-low emission transformation, the more preferential policies they can enjoy.
