Structural adjustment of coke, calcium carbide and other industries

Recently, the national development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued the notice on strengthening the construction and management of coal chemical projects to promote the healthy development of the industry (hereinafter referred to as the notice) in response to the serious excess of calcium carbide, coke and other products in the coal chemical industry, the blind development of coal to methanol, dimethyl ether and other petroleum substitutes, and the one-sided pursuit of the industrial development speed in some places regardless of the resource bearing capacity ) The circular points out the negative effects of the above problems on the balance of resource supply, ecological environment protection and stable economic and social development, and puts forward the principles of industrial development in terms of industrial layout, resource use, environmental protection and safe operation; All regions are required to attach great importance to the development of coal chemical industry, deeply understand the harmfulness of blind development, accurately grasp the direction of industrial development, command the overall situation of industrial development with the scientific outlook on development, comprehensively balance various factors, correctly handle the relationship between industrial development speed, scale, resources and environmental tolerance, and strengthen the management of coal chemical projects from the perspective of planning to ensure the economy The society is running smoothly. At present, China's coal chemical industry is gradually changing from the traditional coal chemical industry dominated by coke, calcium carbide and coal chemical fertilizer to the modern coal chemical industry dominated by petroleum substitute products. Petroleum substitute products are the development direction of coal chemical industry.

Although China is short of petroleum resources, it is necessary to develop coal chemical industry, which is a technology and capital intensive industry, involving a wide range, complex engineering construction and difficult to implement. The focus of recent work is to formulate and issue industrial policies and development plans for coal chemical industry, vigorously promote structural adjustment of calcium carbide, coke and other industries, conscientiously do a good job in the construction of pilot and demonstration projects for coal to methanol, dimethyl ether, oil products and olefins, and practically strengthen the demonstration and standard setting work for the use of new civil and automotive fuels. According to the progress in all aspects, during the 11th Five Year Plan period, the structural adjustment of coke, calcium carbide and other industries is still the focus of coal chemical industry. The development of alternative products from coal to oil can only be carried out gradually after the success of pilot and demonstration projects. At present, the conditions for large-scale development of coal chemical industry are not mature. Therefore, in strict accordance with the spirit of the notice, all regions should conscientiously do a good job in the development of coal chemical industry and project review, and carefully clean up the proposed and under construction projects; scientifically formulate the regional industrial development plan, conscientiously do a good job in the connection of relevant industries, and lay a solid foundation for the healthy development of coal chemical industry.
