On February 13-19, the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced a number of approval decisions for the EIA of construction projects. Including the "Notice of the Environmental Impact Report for the Disapproval of the 4 billion cubic meters/year Coal-based Natural Gas Project of Suxin Energy and Fengfeng Co., Ltd.", the environmental impact report submitted before the Suxin Energy Xinjiang Jondong Coal-to-Gas Project was officially established. turn down. The reporter learned that the Suxin project was the first project submitted to the Ministry of Environmental Protection for environmental impact assessment since the country started coal gasification in 2013. The result of this “unfavorable to school†has added to the wait-and-feel sentiment of several other coal gas projects that have been approved.
“The dismissal shows that the newly appointed Minister of Environmental Protection has taken a supervisory position on coal-based gas projects after he took office. It also shows the government’s attitude toward the development of coal chemical industry in a certain sense.†Professor Chen Bin from the Beijing Normal University School of Environmental Studies accepted the report. If you read this news during the interview. He believes that the government has begun to accept lessons, and our country’s environmental review of coal chemical industry is tightening.
Large projects, local support
The reporter called Beijing Feiyan Petrochemical Environmental Protection Technology Development Co., Ltd., which had participated in the environmental impact report of the 4 billion cubic meters/year coal-based natural gas project of Suxin Energy and Fengfeng Co., Ltd., and the other party said that it was not convenient for the interview. The reporter then learned from the environmental assessment issued by Feiyan Petrochemical Environmental Protection Company that the environmental impact assessments for this project were: According to the "Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People's Republic of China" and "Interim Measures for Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment" (Huanfa [2006] No. 28) and Regulations on the Administration of Public Participation in the Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Trial) (Xinhuan Evaluation and Development [2013] No. 488), and public participation in the publicity of the project was conducted to listen to the society. All opinions and suggestions on environmental protection of the project were formed on the basis of the final report and reported to the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
The reporter learned from Su Xin Energy related personnel that Su Xin Energy and Feng Co., Ltd. was approved by the provincial government and led by the Jiangsu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Xu Mine Group, Guoxin Group, Transportation Holdings, Soho Group and Huihong Group The coal-based clean energy development entities co-funded and established by large provincial enterprises directly accept the leadership of the provincial government. They are the executive bodies of the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Deepening the Clean Energy between the Two Areas" in the two provinces of Jiangsu and Xinjiang and are responsible for the "industry assistance for Xinjiang" and The task of “entering Xinjiang Gas into the Soviet Union†inherited the Tacheng Hefeng Group's 4 billion cubic meters per year of coal gas production and follow-up projects, and established Tacheng City and Fengji Coal Clean Energy Base in Jiangsu Province.
Mr. Xiang, the project leader of Suxin Energy and Fengfeng Co., Ltd., told the reporter that according to the agreement on strategic cooperation in clean energy between Jiangsu and Xinjiang provinces, by 2020, Jiangsu plans to invest 180 billion yuan in Xinjiang to build 26 billion cubic meters per year of coal. Produce natural gas, form 130 million tons/year coal production capacity, and implement other coal-based energy projects. The first phase of 4 billion cubic meters/year of coal-to-natural gas and 26 million tons/year of matching coal mine projects will be basically completed and put into operation in 2017.
“Accordingly, for such a large-scale coal chemical project that aided by the local government, it should be a green light at an earlier time, but this time it was stuck in the EIA. This fully shows that the country has placed environmental protection on a Higher position." Chen Bin thinks.
The EIA was serious but failed
The reporter reviewed the second publicly-reported report of the project's environmental impact assessment. The report concluded that: The project construction complies with the national industrial policy and complies with the local development plan. The status of ambient air and noise quality meets the requirements of environmental functional areas. The project adopts advanced technology and equipment, and has a high level of clean production. After adopting the environmental protection measures described in the report, exhaust gas and noise meet the discharge standards, discharge water to the surface water body, and industrial solid waste are all properly disposed of. The total control factor meets the total control requirements. The forecast shows that after the project is put into operation, the ambient air quality at all sensitive points basically meets the requirements of the standard, and the impact of the project production on the acoustic environment, groundwater environment and ecological environment is relatively small. After the project adopts environmental risk prevention and mitigation measures, the predicted value of the maximum credible accident risk set is lower than the statistical level of risk in the chemical industry, and the environmental risk level of the project is acceptable.
However, it was this seemingly perfect EIA report that the Ministry of Environmental Protection accepted on October 31, 2014. After more than three months of review, it did not finally approve its EIA application.
“Only from this EIA report, it is indeed complete, all factors have been taken into account, and some experiences and lessons learned in the environmental protection aspects of the coal chemical projects that have already been launched have been learned. If it was a year ago, the report passed There is a lot of sex, but now it seems that the state has made stricter environmental assessments for coal chemical industry,†said one industry environmental expert.
The reason is clear, dismissal
According to the reporter’s dismissal notification from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the first reason for the Ministry of Environmental Protection's disapproval was: The lack of water resources in the area where the project is located has not combined with the trend of water resources changes in the river basin, the status of development and utilization, and planning conditions, and has fully demonstrated that the project's water intake is used by downstream residents. , ecological water and agricultural water use.
"The Ministry of Environmental Protection rejected the reason, it can be said to point to the coal chemical project's dead spots." Chen Bin said. He said that in fact, due to the reverse distribution of water resources and coal in the western region of China, it is not appropriate to develop large-scale coal chemical industry in the western region. The voice of society is also very strong in all aspects. Some coal chemical projects have caused local water resources. Excessive demand has created a phenomenon of contending with the people. The consequences are very serious. It now appears that the government is truly aware of the seriousness of this issue. This is a good thing.
The second reason given by the Ministry of Environmental Protection is: The project engineering analysis does not combine the wastewater quality of each wastewater treatment unit and the water demand of each process unit, and demonstrates the deep treatment of biochemical systems, the reuse water treatment system, and the high-concentration brine treatment system reverse osmosis, brine Evaporation crystallization and other environmental factors.
A coal chemical environmental protection expert in the industry told the reporter that the reason given by the Ministry of Environmental Protection is pertinent and realistic. In fact, from the viewpoint of several coal gas projects in China, the treatment of coal gas wastewater, especially high-salt brines, is indeed a difficult problem. At least for now, the cost of treatment is quite high, and the processing technology is not mature enough. , Wastewater treatment problems are becoming a bottleneck problem that restricts the continuous and stable operation of coal gas projects for a long period of time. Regarding the treatment of coal gasification wastewater, it can be said that the problem is still being tackled and explored. It will take time to really solve this problem.
Industry experts stated that other reasons rejected by the Ministry of Environmental Protection include exhaust gas treatment, groundwater pollution prevention and control measures, and risk prevention measures. These issues have existed to varying degrees in several projects that have already been completed.
“The Ministry of Environmental Protection's dismissal of the report, which hits the point, fully demonstrates that the government has seriously summarized various problems in the environmental protection aspects of some coal-based gas and coal chemical projects that have already been built. With the basis of practice, it has really moved. Chen Bin said: “It seems that the national environmental protection threshold for coal chemical industry is undoubtedly elevated, and the review of the EIA report is also more stringent. After the coal chemical industry EIA can not be feasible, and truly achieve protection. I am afraid that the environment will not be able to close."
For the project's future, Suxin still has confidence
Yuan Yulin, director of the project planning department of Suxin Energy and Fengfeng Co., Ltd., said in an interview: “The country’s environmental protection requirements for coal chemical industry are indeed stricter, but this environmental assessment has not been approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and it is not 'killed on one stick’. It is necessary for us to further demonstrate and supplement some of the data. At the same time, we urge local governments to implement the project's water resources indicators. After these tasks are completed, we will report again.†Minister Yuan has confidence in this.
Yuan Yulin further explained: “Our project is located at a distance of several hundred kilometers from the Zhundong region of Xinjiang. The environmental capacity of the project site is relatively large. If our environmental assessment report does not pass, other projects will be even more difficult. It's up."
"Coal gas, as the clean energy that the country encourages development, occupies an important position in China's new alternative energy sources. Suxin Energy's coal gas projects are handed over two, both carrying Jiangsu's responsibility for aiding Xinjiang and shouldering the responsibility of solving Jiangsu's shortage. With great urgency, we have a good responsibility for this project.†Yuan Yulin finally told reporters: “The strict requirements of the Ministry of Environmental Protection on the environmental impact assessment of the project are the prerequisites for the healthy development of coal chemical industry in China. New energy is to protect the environment as its mission, with confidence, determination, and ability to carry out rectification and supplement, and will develop a coal-based natural gas project with a new image of exemplary significance, fulfill its corporate social responsibility, and give the public a satisfactory account. â€
