Updated: 2008-05-19 14:29 "Emissions control is our important priority in 2008," says Ren Jianxin, president of ChemChina. Around 1.5 billion yuan is expected to invest in emissions control programs. In 2008, ChemChina will reduce the energy consumption of unit output value by seven percent, while the discharge of waste water, carbon dioxide, COD, and sulfur dioxide will be lowered by more than three percent. Ren says several pilot projects have been launched aim to achieve the zero emission targets. BlueStar Petroleum Co Ltd Tianjin Branch, a subsidiary of ChemChina, has started 11 projects, including treatment and recycling of oil-containing wastewater, reconstruction of the desulphurization and dust removal unit of a coal-fired boiler and frequency conversion technology in a 6,000 V high-voltage generator. Once all 11 projects are completed, they will yield direct benefits exceeding 15 million yuan to the company. Besides, ChemChina will not approve any new project, which cannot satisfy its emissions standards. The company will also close plants that can't meet its emissions targets within the prescribed time. ChemChina will further spread energy-saving technologies, reform existing facilities and improve management in a bid to realize all-round zero discharge in the company. The company will also intensify maintenance of environmental protection facilities. And the supervision system at ChemChina will be improved in order to obtain immediate information about emissions for the company's executives. The supervision is mainly focusing on 21 energy-consuming subsidiaries, and regular inspections will be carried out. "From 2008, all companies under ChemChina will make their own specific plans on energy and the environment," Ren says. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
