Pursuing green and drawing a new picture of high-quality development--The construction of ecological civilization in Xiangyang City
To create a "green Xiangyang", 155 kilometers of urban greenways are surrounded by mountains and rivers and connected with scenery along the city, and 136 park green spaces allow citizens to push windows to see the green and go out to see the scenery. From January to May this year, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, there were 105 days with good air quality, with an excellent rate of 69.1%, a year-on-year increase of 4.9 percentage points.
To create a "low-carbon Xiangyang", Xiangyang City currently has 27 national-level green factories and 30 provincial-level green factories; the city's forest coverage rate has reached 45.96%; 36 companies have been included in the management of the carbon trading market in Hubei Province, and 6 power generation companies will be included in the management of the national carbon trading market, and the corporate performance rate will remain 100%.
In recent years, Xiangyang City has firmly established the concept of "ecological priority and green development", resolutely shouldered the political responsibility of ecological civilization construction, comprehensively implemented the new development concept, deepened the battle against pollution, promoted the continuous improvement of the quality of the ecological environment, and strived to write the "ecological environment answer sheet" with blue sky, green land, and clear water. The people's sense of ecological environment gain, happiness and security has continued to increase.
Precise pollution control protects blue skies and white clouds
"As long as the air is good and the environment is good, the mood is good. Such happiness can be seen and touched." Recently, citizen Li Shanshan met with friends to climb Bianshan and embrace the blue sky. She felt particularly comfortable.
From January to May this year, Xiangyang had 105 excellent days, with an excellent rate of 69.1%, a year-on-year increase of 4.9 percentage points. PM2.5The average concentration was 56.2 micrograms/cubic meter, a year-on-year decrease of 9.5%.
Air quality has gradually improved, thanks to the city's precise pollution control. In order to allow the people to enjoy more blue skies and white clouds and breathe fresher and cleaner air, Xiangyang City is focusing on continuous improvement of air quality, with the reduction of total pollutants as the core, coordinating the promotion of transformation, enterprise governance, coal reduction, vehicle control, dust reduction, and continuously enhancing the comprehensive management capabilities of air pollution.
Enterprises are the main body of pollutant emissions and a key link in environmental governance. Xiangyang City vigorously promotes steel companies and cement companies to carry out ultra-low emission renovations. Hubei Lijin Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. has completed the transformation of organized emissions and ultra-low emissions, and Wuhan Iron and Steel Group Xiangyang Heavy Equipment Materials Co., Ltd. has completed the transformation of organized emissions and ultra-low emissions of unorganized emissions. Among the four cement companies, Huaxin Cement Co., Ltd., Gezhouba Yicheng Cement Co., Ltd. and Hubei Gucheng Tailong Cement Co., Ltd. have completed the first stage of ultra-low emission transformation, and Gezhouba Laohekou Cement Co., Ltd. has completed the transformation.
Promote industrial emission reduction in depth. 600 atmospheric control projects have been carefully planned and implemented around the foundry, chemical, cement, industrial coating and other industries, and 347 have been completed so far, with a completion rate of 56.9%. Incorporate 300 companies into the list of in-depth environmental governance, carry out on-site "diagnoses", and formulate transformation measures and plans to strive to control environmental problems from the source.
Increase coal cuts. The "Notice on Implementing the Management of High-Pollutant Fuel No-Burning Zones" was issued to regulate the production and operation behaviors of coal-fired production and distribution enterprises (points) and coal-fired distributors outside the no-burning zone.
Illegal traceability of motor vehicles exceeding the standard. Key supervision will be carried out on the annual inspection and environmental inspection and testing agencies for road inspection penalties, black smoke capture, and traceability of old national third vehicles. Vehicles exceeding the standard will be included in the "I/M Closed-Loop Management" list for management.
Deepen dust control. Housing construction projects under construction with a construction area of more than 3000 square meters in the Urban area and municipal construction projects under construction with a construction cost of more than 20 million yuan will be installed with dust monitoring equipment and video surveillance equipment, and connected to the smart construction site platform of the Municipal Housing and Construction System for real-time monitoring.
You can see the blue sky and the distant mountains. "The blue sky is always there" is not a day's work. Air pollution prevention and control requires continuous efforts and linkage between upper and lower levels. In the next step, Xiangyang City will continue to meet arduous challenges and defend more blue skies for the people.
