In order to implement the "Notice of the State Council on Issuing the Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality"(Guo Fa [2023] No. 24), implement the three-year action to comprehensively revitalize new breakthroughs, deepen the battle to defend the blue sky, effectively protect the health of the people, and promote high-quality economic development through continuous improvement of air quality. The government of Liaoning Province formulated the "Implementation Plan for Action for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality in Liaoning Province"(hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") based on actual conditions and implemented it on July 1.
The "Plan" clearly defines the main goal as that by 2025, the province's PM2.5The average concentration dropped below 34 micrograms/cubic meter, the ratio of excellent days reached more than 88.3%, the ratio of severe and above pollution days was controlled within 0.7%, and the total emissions of nitrogen oxides and VOCs dropped by more than 10% compared with 2020.
The "Plan" proposes to optimize the industrial structure and promote green upgrading of industrial products. Promote the optimization of industrial structure and layout. We must resolutely curb the blind launch of high-energy-consuming, high-emission, and low-level projects. New reconstruction and expansion projects must implement relevant requirements such as national industrial planning, ecological environment zoning control plans, and carbon emission peak targets. Orderly promote the transformation of blast-converter long-process steelmaking to electric furnace short-process steelmaking. By 2025, scrap steel will account for more than 15% of steelmaking raw materials. Implementing "determining coke by steel", the ratio of coking capacity to long-process steelmaking capacity will be controlled at around 0.4. Accelerate the withdrawal of backward production capacity in key industries, promote equipment updates and upgrades in key areas and optimize process processes, accelerate the elimination of backward and inefficient equipment and old equipment in extended service, and completely eliminate stepping sintering machines in the steel industry.
