Recently, in the Copper Square, the grandfather who did morning exercises said excitedly: "Today, the air pollution is light and the blue sky is sufficient, so I spend it at home. It is also a sun that dares to take grass, so don't worry about sulfur fumigation. " This is a new change brought by Tongling's vigorous development of circular economy in recent years.
At the beginning of 2005 10, Tongling became the first pilot city to develop circular economy, and Tongling Nonferrous Holding Company became the first batch of 56 circular economy pilot enterprises. Tongling City, a "double pilot", has ushered in a great opportunity to develop circular economy. After three years' efforts, in 2007, the GDP of Tongling reached 2.868 billion yuan, up 15 1% year-on-year, and the growth rate reached a record high. However, the emission control of sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand has exceeded the annual pollution reduction task. The provincial party committee and the provincial government have successfully issued the assessment target of 4.4% reduction of energy consumption per unit area GDP, and the number of excellent days of urban air quality index has reached more than two days, which is better than last year. Nearly 500 kinds of industrial solid wastes are comprehensively utilized by 10,000 tons, and the utilization value of output resources exceeds 654.38+0.5 billion yuan, achieving a win-win situation for energy conservation and emission reduction and economic development.
Practice Scientific Outlook on Development
The development of circular economy in Tongling City is the concrete embodiment of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development. Since the reform and opening up, the development of industrial economy has been greatly accelerated. However, with the rapid economic growth, problems such as waste liquid, waste residue, massive waste discharge and environmental degradation have become increasingly prominent, and resources and environmental problems have become the "bottleneck" restricting Tongling's economic development. Almost any city has entrusted the development of industrial economy to the leaders who have burned their bridges. On the one hand, it is the determination to vigorously develop circular economy.
Tongling, as a resource-based city, has been in the forefront of the province in circular economy, and was listed as a pilot city in 2002. Cleaner production and environmental protection in Anhui province has become the only industrial base in the province. As early as 2002, the municipal government gradually formed the idea of "two-way governance". On the one hand, efforts should be made to improve the environment, control pollutant emissions and improve the urban environmental quality; On the other hand, we should change the mode of economic growth, actively control the "three wastes" and vigorously develop circular economy. In recent years, a total of about 207.3 billion yuan has been invested in pollution control and a number of "five small" enterprises with serious pollution and high energy consumption have been closed down. The money is being used for the technical transformation of the old enterprises in Jinchang Smelter, and the transformation project and natural gas utilization project of Yaxing Coking Enterprise have been moved ahead of schedule.
Through three years' unremitting efforts, by the end of 2005, Tongling City had discharged16500 tons of smoke and dust, reducing the annual emission of sulfur dioxide by 22,000 tons, a decrease of nearly 50%, greatly improving the urban environmental quality. At the same time, actively carry out clean production and comprehensive utilization of resources, and resources are comprehensively utilized. The comprehensive energy consumption of urban output value with an annual output value of more than 65.438 billion yuan decreased by 5%, saving 6.5438+0.5 million tons of standard coal and comprehensively utilizing 6.5438+0.5 million kWh of power generation; Comprehensive utilization of 3 million tons of solid waste, copper smelting and deep processing of copper products, metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power, building materials and other industries have formed a strong relationship, initially forming a leading industry circular economy industrial chain.
In order to gain more extensive support and realize the effective transformation of resource-based cities, the city has embarked on a new development path of resource conservation, environmental friendliness and interpersonal harmony. Since March 2005, the city has set up a leading group for circular economy headed by the mayor, formulated an action plan, "Developing Circular Economy" and "Decision of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on Accelerating the Development of Circular Economy", and Nanjing University of Science and Technology and China Academy of Agricultural Sciences jointly compiled a circular economy development plan. In order to obtain the support of the national macro-policy, the provincial government actively strives to become a national pilot city of circular economy, and Tongling Nonferrous Holding Company also actively declares the national and national pilot enterprises of circular economy. After years of operation, careful organization and careful preparation, in 2005, Tongling City, a national pilot city of circular economy, and Tongling Nonferrous Holding Company became mature pilot enterprises of circular economy.
Pursuing sustainable development
It has become the first batch of pilot cities and enterprises in China, and the development of circular economy has attracted national attention. A special seminar was held in Tongling by the People's Daily People's Forum magazine Circular Economy in China. The experience of Tongling Nonferrous Metallurgical Holding Company in developing circular economy was promoted by the Environment and Resources Committee of the National People's Congress as a typical case of developing circular economy in China.
Sustainable development is an inevitable requirement for the transformation of resource-based cities. People who implement the development strategy of circular economy, carry out capacity building and promote sustainable development and regional economic competitiveness have realized copper. According to the principle of "reduction, reuse and recycling" and the concept of circular economy to promote economic growth mode, Tongling people's vision is farther, clearer and more targeted.
Tongling City's Circular Economy Development Plan clearly states that the energy consumption per unit of GDP during the 11th Five-Year Plan period will be reduced by 20% compared with that at the end of the 10th Five-Year Plan, and the "32 1" project will be mainly implemented to build a circular industrial system, that is, three ecological industrial chains will be formed around the comprehensive utilization of three major mineral resources: copper mine, pyrite mine and limestone. * * * enterprises as the main body, forming an eco-industrial community dominated by metallurgy and chemical industry, textile printing and dyeing, printing and dyeing, and copper, and building a national circular economy industrial experimental riverside park; Venous industry gathering, focusing on the construction of Henggang circular economy industrial demonstration zone. The municipal finance allocates not less than 5 million yuan each year to set up special funds to guide and promote the development of circular economy.
In 2007, Tongling completed the application and evaluation of the first batch of circular economy demonstration enterprises and projects, and identified the first batch of six circular economy demonstration enterprises, 10 demonstration projects and five key scientific and technological projects. The circular economy industrial experimental park with a planned area of 28 square kilometers has completed the project agreement of infrastructure construction investment of more than 900 million yuan and park10.75 billion yuan; Smirnoff circular economy industrial demonstration zone covers an area of 22 square kilometers, which has initially realized the centralized management of industrial cycle, metabolism, energy cascade utilization and pollution. The agricultural circular economy experimental zone with a planned area of about 29 square kilometers has an infrastructure investment of 40 million yuan and a total investment of nearly 400 million yuan.
