Chongqing promotes national cleaner production audit and innovation pilot work

Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the National Development and Reform Commission announced the list of the first batch of cleaner production audit and innovation pilot projects in the country that passed the evaluation. The clean production audit and innovation pilot for the automobile manufacturing industry in Liangjiang New District of Chongqing City was successfully evaluated.

What is a cleaner production audit? The relevant person in charge of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau told reporters that the cleaner production audit is an audit mechanism to assess the cleaner production level of enterprises. By analyzing the input and output in the production and service process of enterprises, it is found out that high energy consumption, high material consumption, and heavy pollution are identified. The reasons are proposed and implemented technically, economically and environmentally feasible cleaner production plans, thereby encouraging enterprises to improve production methods and improve resource utilization efficiency and environmental protection levels.

The reporter inquired and learned that in December 2022, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Agree to Implement the First Batch of Cleaner Production Audit and Innovation Pilot Projects" and launched 56 cleaner production audit and innovation pilot projects. Among them, among the 56 pilot projects, there are 16 pilot projects for overall audit and innovation of cleaner production in key industries, involving many key industries such as nonferrous metals, automobile manufacturing, building materials, rare earths, textile printing and dyeing, and Liangjiang New Area has been selected as a cleaner production audit and innovation pilot for the automobile manufacturing industry.

The integrated review time for smart empowerment platform is from half a year to half a month

"Liangjiang New Area is the main position of Chongqing's automobile industry. It is helping Chongqing accelerate the construction of a world-class intelligent networked new energy vehicle industry cluster. It has a foundation and advantages in promoting clean production audit innovation in the automobile manufacturing industry." The relevant person in charge of the Liangjiang New District Branch of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau introduced that relying on the ecological big data system, Liangjiang New District has built a cleaner production review platform. The platform integrates multiple links including raw and auxiliary materials, production process equipment, production sewage, etc. Data collection and automatic review by enterprises improve the efficiency of cleaner production review and reduce the burden on enterprises.

Take Chang 'an Ford as an example. Previously, during the five-year cleaner production review, it was necessary to report the budget in advance, and then it took 2 months to conduct price comparisons and bidding for the third-party company. It took 1 month to let the third-party company familiarize itself with the company and make review. The report and plan of the third-party company were evaluated and revised in 1-2 months. The Liangjiang New District Branch of the Chongqing City Bureau of Ecology and Environment then conducted a manual review after receiving the review data. It took half a year and cost nearly 100,000 yuan.

Nowadays, Changan Ford does not need to request third-party companies to declare through bidding. Companies fill in and upload data in the system according to the specifications. The system can generate reports immediately, in no more than half a month.

This is due to the standard system and scoring rules initially established by the Liangjiang New District Branch of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau after months of research and summary.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Liangjiang New District Branch of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau, at present, the cleaner production review platform combines the current domestic and foreign cleaner production standards in the automobile manufacturing industry and the status quo of regional cleaner production to establish a standard system and evaluation system covering production processes and equipment, resource energy consumption, comprehensive utilization of resources, pollutant generation, carbon emissions, product characteristics, and cleaner production management, providing quantitative support for automatic review of the platform and providing qualitative guidance for enterprises, Quantitative evaluation provides scientific reference.

In order to make the evaluation system more scientific, the Liangjiang New District Branch of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau also conducted on-site surveys of vehicle companies such as Chang 'an and Selis and parts and automobile companies such as Baling in the early stage of the pilot, and integrated cleaner production audit reports over the years, explored more than 150 industry characteristics and common problems, and with the help of intelligent algorithms and process engines, it realized automatic calculation and evaluation of cleaner production levels, automatic identification of backward process indicators, and automatic adaptation of cleaner production plans. Automatically generate cleaner production audit reports.

Dynamic code assignment, innovative supervision, guide enterprises to upgrade files

In fact, the cleaner production audit platform for the automobile manufacturing industry in Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing City not only reduces costs and increases efficiency for enterprises, but also brings breakthrough changes to supervision.

According to reports, this pilot will continue to explore based on the traditional five-year first-instance management model of cleaner production review, dynamically assign codes and adopt different regulatory measures based on the company's cleaner production score.

Specifically, for enterprises with higher scores, do not bother about anything and reduce the frequency of mandatory reviews; for enterprises with lower scores, increase supervision and shorten the mandatory review cycle to ensure that they can improve the environment in the production process in a timely manner. issues.

In addition, the Liangjiang New District Branch of Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau will also use the platform to establish a ranking and comprehensive ranking of individual cleaner production indicators for enterprises to help enterprises identify weak links in cleaner production, understand the overall cleaner production level of the industry, promote horizontal comparisons among enterprises, and guide enterprises to carry out Healthy competition, independent file upgrades, and change mandatory cleaner production audits into voluntary cleaner production audits.

On the other hand, the platform also collects data on new technology promotion and review over the years, and establishes a list of cleaner production issues and a solution library, which can provide enterprises with clean production solutions that can be referred to, economically feasible, and achieve benefits.

"At present, Liangjiang New Area has compiled and formed a quantitative review guide for cleaner production audits in the automobile industry to provide guidance for enterprises to conduct cleaner production audits through online platforms. Next, Liangjiang New Area will further improve the standard system, scoring rules and review guidelines, continue to optimize the platform, promote the formation of industrial structures and production methods that are conducive to pollution reduction, carbon reduction, synergy and efficiency, and promote the green development of the new district." The relevant person in charge of the Liangjiang New District Branch of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau said.

"Chongqing has basically formed an industry audit working mechanism and method system by conducting overall cleaner production audits first. By exploring leading demonstrations in the automobile manufacturing industry, a standardized, replicable and replicable industry cleaner production audit model has been formed, gradually driving other industries. Carry out cleaner production activities in a standardized and efficient manner." The relevant person in charge of the Chongqing City Ecological Environment Bureau said that in the next step, Chongqing will continue to organize, coordinate, supervise and guide the second batch of national pilot projects, carry out targeted and innovative work, accelerate the summary and promotion of pilot results, form a good atmosphere for the government, industry associations, enterprises and other parties to jointly promote cleaner production, quickly and effectively improve the coverage and level of cleaner production, and form a cleaner transformation of traditional industries. Effective support for green transformation and in-depth fight against pollution.
