Exploring Green Transformation for Resource based Enterprises (New Economic Direction · Supporting Private Economy Development) Economy | Data | Enterprises
In Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, a set of data on the development of private economy is noteworthy: private economy contributes more than 90% of the number of enterprises, more than 90% of labor employment, more than 90% of industrial added value, and more than 90% of taxes.
Like most areas in Shanxi, Jiexiu has abundant mineral resources, especially coal reserves. In the early stages of reform and opening up, Jiexiu township enterprises flourished; In 1992, the county was abolished and replaced by a city, and coking enterprises emerged as a new force. For many years, Jiexiu has formed an industrial layout dominated by coal coke tempering, and the private economy has become a driving force for local economic development.
As a resource-based region, Shanxi shoulders the mission of building a national resource-based economic transformation and comprehensive reform pilot zone. Faced with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, Jiexiu guides private enterprises to transform their development methods, adjust their industrial structure, focus on "chain" development, and explore green transformation. What explorations have been made locally and what experiences have been gained? The reporter conducted a visit.
Forged long plate
The chain effect is constantly emerging
The characteristics of China's energy and resource endowments determine the need to adhere to the path of clean and efficient utilization of coal in the long term. How to achieve green transformation is an unavoidable issue for the development of resource-based cities.
"We must persist in promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and not simply exit as a 'low-end industry'." Ren Guangyao, Secretary of the Jiexiu Municipal Party Committee, believes that in the face of the dilemma of lower levels of the industrial chain and weak market competitiveness, we should focus on forging long boards, cultivating 'chain owners', and playing their role in driving the industry to climb towards the mid to high end of the value chain.
By utilizing self-developed systems, the carbon dioxide contained in coal-fired flue gas can be reasonably captured as the growth medium for microbial microalgae, generating high value-added and high nutritional value algae powder products. Entering the specialized production workshop of Shanxi Antai Holding Group, microalgae sprout in containers of various shapes, whether deep or shallow, with a green hue. Wang Fengbin, Executive Vice General Manager of Antai Group, introduced that using carbon dioxide gas generated from coke oven exhaust to cultivate microalgae can achieve carbon reduction in industrial waste gas through carbon fixation and nitrogen fixation aquaculture.
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions involves both carbon sequestration and carbon offsetting. Quantitative monitoring and tracking of carbon emissions are important steps. "The current display page is a carbon emissions overview, with smaller pink bubbles indicating lower carbon emissions in the factory area. The next page is a carbon footprint analysis, where clicking on the carbon dioxide cloud in the flowchart can display the carbon emissions of each material." Ji Weizhen, a staff member of Antai Group's carbon asset management cloud platform, introduced that the platform comprehensively displays the group's carbon emissions situation and can "make data speak and strengthen analysis and judgment" in real time. ".
Coal raw material storage has serious dust pollution, with more than 10 fully enclosed material sheds covering an area of over 150000 square meters rising from the ground; The coke oven riser waste heat utilization project recovers 200000 tons of waste heat annually to produce steam, saves 23000 tons of standard coal, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 59000 tons; Investing 620 million yuan to improve the efficiency of medium temperature and medium pressure gas power generation units, increasing power generation efficiency by 1.6 times... At Antai Group, data elements have triggered new changes in production factors, reshaping the production mode and business model of the enterprise.
Making good use of data elements is also a lever for Jiexiu to drive innovation and development. It is understood that the carbon asset management cloud platform will serve more enterprises and help the city achieve carbon emission data monitoring.
Optimize supply
Continuous promotion of transformation and upgrading
Having worked in the coal industry for many years, Zhao Ketong, Minister of the Comprehensive Management Department of Shanxi Jinquan Energy Group, candidly stated the difficulties of coal transportation in the past: "Sometimes, transportation time is not guaranteed, vehicle no-load rate is high, and there are also some" layer by layer subcontracting "phenomena. The safety and income of truck drivers are both problems, which invisibly bring economic losses."
The integration of Internet genes into the traditional logistics industry has become the key to solving the problem. In 2016, the innovation and development of vehicle free transportation logistics led to the registration and establishment of Chengfeng Freight in the same year.
On the Chengfeng Freight Bulk Logistics Intelligent Production and Trading Platform, blue lines are densely packed. The staff introduced that currently, there are more than 220000 freight transportation routes in Chengfeng, and the platform has been online since March 2018, with a total transaction amount of over 44 billion yuan.
According to the staff of Chengfeng Freight, the company has developed a "weighing room management system and shipping management system" specifically for coal and coke enterprises, achieving automated and semi automated uploading of weighing room data. "The four streams of bill flow, trajectory flow, contract flow, and fund flow are integrated, effectively ensuring the personal safety and economic rights of truck drivers, and providing data support for local government supervision and management."
The developed freight logistics have brought about a huge number of cars, and Jiexiu City currently operates a total of 10000 tractor and dump trucks. "Large scale logistics must achieve green transportation." Wei Pengyao, Deputy Secretary of the Jiexiu Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, stated that in June 2022, the city signed a contract with All Things Friendly Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. "Both parties will match pure electric vehicles and charging and swapping stations for various heavy-duty truck logistics scenarios to achieve a full cycle green electric transportation solution."
Jiexiu Digital Economy Industrial Park was launched simultaneously. The goods e-commerce supply chain management service platform provides management services that integrate procurement, logistics, sales, and settlement for enterprises entering the park; The online freight management service platform uniformly collects logistics information data on coal, coke, clean coal, steel, and other materials throughout the city, implements scientific scheduling management, and reduces enterprise logistics costs.
At present, 186 operating entities have settled in the industrial park, with a cumulative transaction volume of 341 million yuan completed; By 2025, the digital economy industry system is planned to be basically sound. The goal of unified management of urban governance, universal access to government services, intelligent sharing of people's livelihood services, and integrated empowerment of industrial development will enter reality.
Strengthen services
Continuously optimizing the business environment
"At the beginning of the project planning, the planned investment was 500 to 600 million yuan, and later increased to 1.05 billion yuan." Zhao Lifei, General Manager of Shanxi Fengkuang Anran Intelligent Railway Transportation Co., Ltd., said that the reason for the additional investment was not only due to Jiexiu's unique geographical advantage, but also considering the traditional advantages of private economic development and the good business environment.
The business environment is like a magnet. Whether the magnetic force is strong or not, enterprises have the most say.
In November 2019, Fengkuang Enron signed a "Feng'an Special Railway Project Cooperation" agreement with Jiexiu City; In November 2020, the Shanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued approval and the project was completed. The project was resolved within one year from preparation to establishment, according to Qi Hongliang, Deputy Secretary of the Jiexiu Municipal Party Committee. This is due to the promotion of the Jiexiu special team service for handling procedures, real estate registration reform, and "multi regulatory integration" reform, creating a full cycle service chain for the project. Among them, the "separation of certificates and licenses" reform measures have made the simplification rate of approval materials exceed 60%, the processing time limit compressed by 85%, and the processing links reduced by 80%.
Whether a land can be "hot" depends on its resource endowment; Whether it can stay hot all the time depends on a good business environment.
"The biggest problem that restricts the development of enterprises is still the shortage of talents. We hope that the government can introduce supportive policies and help bridge the gap." "We hope to strengthen the construction of supporting infrastructure in scenic areas and promote the continuous integration of the cultural and tourism industry." At the private entrepreneur symposium in Jiexiu City, enterprises presented difficulties, highlighted problems, and provided opinions to the party committee and government.
To improve the quality of enterprise services, the "three meetings" mechanism has been established to regularly listen to the demands of enterprises. In 2022, 118 opinions were collected, with a completion rate of 89.5%. 175 on-site offices were held, 83 special coordination meetings were held, and 96 practical problems were solved for enterprises.
In 2022, the cumulative added value of the private economy during the Jiexiu holiday period reached 27.95 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%; Private investment reached 4.53 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9%.
The development and growth of the private economy, the business environment is the foundation of development and the source of vitality. Jie Xiu's exploration demonstrated a simple truth: a business environment provides fertile ground, and only then can enterprises flourish.
