Recently, the Central Second Eco-environmental Protection Supervision Group gave feedback to Henan Province. It is pointed out that some prominent ecological and environmental problems need to be solved urgently. The second is the inadequate promotion of air pollution prevention and control. The concentration of PM2.5, PM10 and other pollutants in the whole province is still high, and the short board of air pollution control in northern Henan is particularly prominent, especially in Anyang City, which has been stagnating within the bottom 10 in the ranking of key cities in the country. "Two high" projects are blindly launched in violation of regulations. Relevant counties and cities in Xinxiang issued documents to avoid capacity replacement in violation of regulations, weakening the requirement of capacity reduction substitution for the new cement clinker production line of Huanshan Environmental Protection Technology Company to equivalent substitution. "Weakening" is used in the replacement of capacity reduction in the new cement clinker production line
of Huanshan Environmental Protection Technology Company. In order to understand it correctly, we have checked "Cihai". The explanation of weakening is the phenomenon of changing from a stronger sound to a weaker sound in speech. Combined with the feedback, it is understood that the relevant counties and cities in Xinxiang issued documents to avoid capacity replacement in violation of regulations, resulting in the weakening of the enhanced reduction replacement of the new cement clinker production line of Huanshan Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. into equivalent replacement.
According to the information released by Xinxiang Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of Henan Province in April 2022 about the technical renovation project of the new dry cement clinker production line of Henan Huanshan Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. Xinxiang Zhenxin Cement Co., Ltd. and Henan Century Xinfeng Cement Co., Ltd. intend to implement relocation and merger to establish Henan Huanshan Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. to build a new dry cement clinker production line with a daily output of 5500 tons to co-dispose 100000 tons of fly ash from garbage power generation.
The information also disclosed that in accordance with the relevant policies and regulations of the Measures for the Implementation of Capacity Replacement in the Cement and Glass Industry (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology No.2021). The Department of Raw Materials Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology respectively replied to confirm that "the 2500t/d new dry process general cement clinker production line of Xinxiang Zhenxin Cement Co., Ltd. and the 3000t/d new dry process general cement clinker production line of Henan Century Xinfeng Cement Co., Ltd. If the relocation conditions stipulated in the Measures are met, the capacity replacement plan may not be formulated in accordance with the provisions of the Measures, but the relocation situation of the project shall be publicized and announced, and the supervision shall be accepted on its own initiative. The competent departments at the two levels have given relevant opinions. On December 3, 2021, entrusted by the Henan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology,
the Henan Provincial Association of Building Materials Industry appointed three experts to form a verification team. Xinxiang Zhenxin Cement Co., Ltd. has a 2500t/d new dry process general cement clinker production line, and Henan Century Xinfeng Cement Co., Ltd. has a 3000t/d new dry process general cement clinker production line. The actual situation of the project of relocating from the city and merging the construction of a 5500 t/d new dry process general cement clinker production line was verified and confirmed on the spot. After full discussion and study, the expert group has reached the following unanimous verification and confirmation opinions:
First, the above-mentioned 2500t/d general cement clinker production line of Xinxiang Zhenxin Cement Co., Ltd. and the above-mentioned 3000t/d general cement clinker production line of Henan Century Xinfeng Cement Co., Ltd. are legal, compliant and complete. At the same time, the capacity of the above two production lines to be relocated and merged is verified and confirmed as 2500t/d and 3000t/d respectively.
Secondly, the above two production lines to be relocated and merged belong to the same actual controlling shareholder of Comrade Wang Ruilin and are located in the same administrative region of Xinxiang City. They are relocated and merged to form a 5500t/d new dry process general cement clinker production line project. In line with the latest revision of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Cement Glass Industry Capacity Replacement Implementation Measures" (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology original [2021] No.80) and its related "Implementation Measures" policy interpretation of the spirit of the fourth policy provisions "can not formulate capacity replacement plan", do not carry out capacity replacement.
Looking back, in December 2021, the Development and Reform Commission of Henan Province, the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Henan Province, the Department of Natural Resources of Henan Province and the Department of Ecological Environment of Henan Province jointly issued the Notice on the Establishment of a Joint Review Mechanism for "Two High" Projects. The Notice clearly States that all new, renovated and expanded "two high" projects should strictly implement the policy requirements of the Catalogue of Guidance for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2019 edition) and the Catalogue of Guidance for Industrial Development and Transfer (2018 edition). Among them, cement clinker should strictly implement the relevant capacity replacement implementation measures of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Capacity Replacement in Henan Iron and Steel, Electrolytic Aluminum, Cement and Glass Industries (Trial Implementation) and other relevant documents. In fact, it seems that all aspects of the province and city have gone through the stage very seriously. The capacity replacement document of the new cement clinker production line of Huanshan Environmental Protection Technology Company issued by the relevant counties and cities
in Xinxiang was identified as avoiding capacity replacement by the Second Central Eco-environmental Protection Inspector. However, the results of the procedures for identifying the capacity replacement of the project seem to be well-founded, well-organized and firm, and the relevant procedures are legal and complete, so the capacity replacement plan can not be formulated (that is, the equivalent replacement of 1:1 in the industry).
Or it can be understood that the reduction replacement should be strengthened and weakened to the equivalent replacement. As an enterprise, it is desirable. 5500 tons/day, not a ton less! The responsibility for weakening is borne by the local authorities! Such
"weakening" is not uncommon in the industry, but few of them can be strictly required to strengthen the reduction of replacement. China Resources and Zoomlion have had individual cases in which they were not moved by 1:1 and implemented reduction replacement. This comparison really deserves a big compliment!
Apart from the profound lessons learned by the relevant counties and cities in Xinxiang, should the industry also gain insights from them. It seems that the competent authorities should also examine whether there are loopholes in the previous documents that can avoid the replacement of capacity reduction, so that there are loopholes in the implementation!
