The Textile Industry Is Under Pressure From The Implementation Of Vocs Emission Fee Collection Policies In Many Regions Of The Country

The Ministry of Environmental Protection recently issued a notice on the specific work related to the pilot project of charge for volatile organic pollutant discharge, requiring the environmental protection departments (bureaus) of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government to actively promote the local development and reform commissions (price), finance and other relevant departments to formulate and issue specific implementation measures for the pilot project as soon as possible, and clarify the scope of the pilot project, charging standards, differentiated policies, accounting cycle The collection time, accounting method, collection authority, etc. At present, the provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government that have carried out VOCs emission charges mainly include Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan, etc. The small editor compares the policies of various regions in terms of VOCs charging industry, charging time, charging price and differentiated charging policies. You can see which province or city is the most strict.

Experts say that with the《 Volatile organic compounds With the implementation of the Pilot Measures for Pollutant Discharge Charge and the intensification of various environmental pressures, the continuous improvement of VOCs emission standards, the pollution discharge charge system will involve more industries with the continuous updating and improvement of the pollution source list, and the VOCs governance market will further expand, which will also bring unlimited challenges and opportunities to governance enterprises.

　　 Comparison of VOCs charging industry

Beijing: petrochemical industry, automobile manufacturing, electronics, printing and furniture manufacturing

Shanghai: 71 small and medium-sized industries in 12 major industries, including petrochemical industry, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, packaging and printing, furniture manufacturing, electronics, etc

Jiangsu: pilot industries such as petrochemical, packaging and printing

Anhui: pilot industries such as petrochemical industry, packaging and printing

Hunan: pilot industries such as petrochemical industry, packaging and printing

　　 VOCs charge Time comparison

Beijing: October 1, 2015

Shanghai: Phase I (from October 1, 2015); Phase II (from July 1, 2016); Phase III (from January 1, 2017)

Jiangsu: January 1, 2016

Anhui: October 1, 2015

Hunan: March 1, 2016

Comparison between VOCs charging price and differentiated charging policy

Beijing: The basic charge is 20 yuan/kg. Differentiated charging: halve the environmental protection "leader". For those who focus on VOCs pollution prevention to carry out cleaner production audit and pass the assessment, and the emission concentration is lower than 50% (including 50%) of the city's emission limit, and have not been punished by the environmental protection department for environmental pollution in the current month, the charging standard is 10 yuan/kg. Double for environmental violators. If there are environmental pollution behaviors such as not installing waste gas treatment facilities, abnormal operation of waste gas treatment facilities, and VOCs emissions exceeding the city's standards, the charging standard is 40 yuan/kg.

　　 Shanghai : The charging standard is 10 yuan/kg from October 1, 2015 (Phase I), 15 yuan/kg from July 1, 2016 (Phase II), and 20 yuan/kg from January 1, 2017 (Phase III). Differentiated charging: for those who complete waste gas treatment according to the requirements of the municipal industrial VOCs treatment scheme, the emission concentration is lower than or equal to 50% of the emission limit, and have not been punished by the environmental protection department in the current year, 50% of the charging standard will be charged for pollution discharge; If the waste gas treatment is not completed according to the plan, or the waste gas treatment facilities are not operating normally, or the volatile organic compounds are discharged beyond the standard, and other environmental pollution behaviors, the pollutant discharge fee shall be calculated as twice of the charging standard. In order to eliminate backward production capacity and promote the adjustment of industrial structure, differentiated charges will be implemented for relevant enterprises (processes, equipment, products, etc.) listed in the national and municipal restricted and eliminated categories, forming a joint force with the city's differentiated electricity price and other policies. Among them, the relevant enterprises in the eliminated category shall be charged twice of the charging standard, and the relevant enterprises in the restricted category shall be charged 1.5 times of the charging standard.

Jiangsu: From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017, the VOCs emission charge is 3.6 yuan per pollution equivalent; From January 1, 2018, the VOCs emission charge standard is 4.8 yuan per pollution equivalent. Differentiated charging: implement differentiated charging policy. If the pollutant emission concentration value of the enterprise is between 80% - 100% (including 100%) of the specified emission standard, the pollutant discharge fee will be charged according to the benchmark charging standard; Within the range of 50% - 80% (including 80%) of the specified emission standard, the pollutant discharge fee shall be charged according to the benchmark charging standard of 800/0; If it is lower than 50% (including 50%) of the specified discharge standard, the pollutant discharge fee will be charged at 500/0 of the benchmark charge standard. If the concentration value of the pollutants discharged by an enterprise is higher than the national or local pollutant discharge limit, or the amount of pollutants discharged is higher than the specified total emission target, the pollutant discharge fee shall be doubled according to the benchmark charging standard; In case of the above two situations, the pollution discharge fee shall be doubled.

Anhui: The standard of VOCs emission fee for pilot industries such as petrochemical industry, packaging and printing is 1.20 yuan per pollution equivalent. Differential charge: if the concentration value of VOCs emitted by an enterprise exceeds the specified emission limit or the volume of VOCs emitted by an enterprise is higher than the specified total emission index, the pollution charge shall be doubled according to the charging standard; In case of the above two situations, the pollution discharge fee shall be doubled.

Hunan: The standard of VOCs emission charge is 1.2 yuan per pollution equivalent. Differential charge: according to the technical level of VOCs emission monitoring, if the enterprise's VOCs emission concentration value is higher than the national or provincial emission limit value, or higher than the specified total emission index, the pollution charge will be doubled according to the charging standard; In case of the above two situations, the pollutant discharge fee shall be doubled according to the charging standard. If the production process, equipment and products of an enterprise belong to the elimination category specified in the Catalogue for the Guidance of Industrial Restructuring (Amendment), the pollution discharge fee shall be doubled according to the charging standard. If the VOCs emission concentration value of an enterprise is 50% or more lower than the national or provincial emission limit, the pollutant discharge fee will be levied by half.

Ye Daiqi, Dean of the School of Environment and Energy of South China University of Technology, once mentioned that compared with developed countries, the prevention, control and governance of VOCs in China is still in its infancy. Since China started later than developed countries, the laws, regulations, policies, standards and means and capabilities needed for daily supervision of VOCs prevention and control need to be further improved and enhanced.
