"Smiling Angel" walks around beautiful Taixing "harmonious coexistence"

In the Qiwei section of Taixing, Jiangsu Province, three or four finless porpoises are playing on the waves; egrets and grey herons are soaring on the polder fields along the river and the Urban area section of the Rutai Canal; On the water surface of parks such as Yuhui River, Xiangxie Lake, Longhuan River, etc., wild ducks swim out from time to time from time to time from the water and grass on the shore... In Taixing, each beautiful and flexible painting tells the story of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, the return of "elves", and the "smiling angels" walking around.

All things coexist and merge into the "Spring River Map" in the new era. Taixing, a modern riverside city, has unswervingly followed the path of "ecological priority and green development" in recent years, coordinating pollution control, adding greenery, and leaving space, coordinating to strengthen pollution prevention and ecological protection, promoting the development of green and low-carbon transformation, and accelerating The construction of "Beautiful Taixing" strives to create a benchmark city for the coordinated improvement of production and living ecological functions in the Yangtze River area, strives to create a national demonstration city for the construction of ecological civilization, and provides Taixing's pioneering demonstration in order to realize the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Deficit shortcomings and improve excellence

Keep the bottom line of "it can only get better, not worse"

In the first quarter, Taixing City ranked first among counties (cities, districts) in the province with relatively rapid improvement in surface water environmental quality. According to reports, the city's water environment quality has been continuously consolidated and improved in recent years. Last year, the water quality compliance rate and the excellent III ratio of national and provincial test sections were both 100%. This year, we strive to account for 50% of Class II water bodies in national and provincial test sections.

In the production dispatching control center of the Industrial Sewage Treatment Plant in Taixing Economic Development Zone, it is clearly seen through the central large screen that after industrial sewage enters the treatment plant, it passes through the regulation pool, biochemical unit and other links, and becomes clear and transparent after biological treatment. Focusing on "capacity improvement", the park has completed and put into operation a 30,000-ton/day membrane treatment system project and a 50,000-ton/day industrial sewage treatment plant.

In order to make water clearer, Taixing City has made efforts to control the source, precise and in-depth management, and actively implemented a new round of pilot reforms of integrated ecological and environmental policies. Taixing Economic Development Zone and Huangqiao Economic Development Zone have completed the creation of "limit and limit" parks. Key tasks such as groundwater pollution control and restoration, creation of "waste-free parks", and new pollutant management have been incorporated into the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and provincial pilots. In November last year, Taixing City exchanged experiences at the kick-off meeting of the pilot work of soil and groundwater pollution control and restoration of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. At the same time, in recent years, key water pollution prevention and control projects have been vigorously implemented, water quality monitoring and early warning of key sections and tributaries entering the river has been strengthened, and drainage outlets across the region has been continuously rectified to achieve "four sources of industrial pollution, domestic sewage, agricultural non-point sources, and ship and port pollution." control." The resource utilization rate of livestock and poultry manure has stabilized at more than 98%, and the coverage rate of ecological rivers has increased to more than 52%.

In order to improve the water quality of rivers across the region, Taixing City has further promoted the "333" action to improve the quality and efficiency of urban sewage treatment and accelerated the filling of shortcomings in urban and rural domestic sewage pipe networks. Last year, 14 roads and 17 kilometers of rainwater and sewage pipe networks were newly renovated in the Urban area, 15 sewage treatment quality and efficiency improvement projects were completed, and 3 sewage treatment quality and efficiency improvement compliance areas were built.

After long-term efforts and in-depth efforts to fight pollution prevention and control, Taixing City highlights capacity building, focuses on difficult points and shortcomings, deepens actions to defend blue skies, clear water and pure land, and resolutely upholds the rigid bottom line of "can only be better and cannot be deteriorated" of the ecological environment quality, and supports high-quality development with high-level protection.

Focusing on the raising of atmospheric standards, we will efficiently implement the "double control and double reduction" of PM2.5 and ozone concentrations, strengthen the comprehensive management of VOCs throughout the process and all links, and continue to strengthen measures such as dust control on construction sites. Adhere to the "simultaneous control of four sources" of industrial sources, domestic sources, mobile sources, and dust sources, and implement 443 air pollution prevention and control projects. Taixing City has allocated 12 million yuan in financial resources to support subsidies for the purchase of new energy vehicles and subsidies for the early elimination of diesel trucks under the National III and below. Last year, the average annual concentration of PM2.5 in the city was 33 micrograms/cubic meter, and the excellent rate of ambient air quality was 79.7%(excluding the days after abnormal sand and dust exceeded the standard).

From May 8 to the end of June, Taixing City launched a special operation to investigate and rectify the illegal disposal and dumping of solid waste. Focusing on clean land and waste, in recent years, we have promoted land reclamation projects and soil monitoring in large-scale breeding farms, standardized soil pollution risk management and restoration of construction land, and achieved a safe utilization rate of 100% of construction land and contaminated cultivated land; We have promoted "waste-free cities" and "waste-free parks", implemented hierarchical and classified management of hazardous waste, and strengthened the entire life cycle management of hazardous waste; Promoting the construction of solid waste disposal capabilities, the city has formed a hazardous waste disposal capacity of 100,000 tons/year for incineration, 60,000 tons/year for landfill, 1.0305 million tons/year for comprehensive utilization, and a general industrial solid waste disposal capacity of 563,800 tons/year.

Pursuing "new" towards "green"

Strive to create a high-quality development demonstration zone

In Taixing Economic Development Zone, the first natural gas hydrogen doping station invested and constructed by Taixing Xinao Gas Co., Ltd. has completed equipment installation and debugging, and the completion acceptance procedures are being improved. According to reports, Taixing Economic Development Zone is rich in industrial by-product hydrogen energy resources. The Taixing City Development and Reform Commission promotes cooperation between hydrogen energy companies and urban gas companies, using the surplus hydrogen from Xinpu Chemical Company and Yanchang China Gas Company respectively to build Phase I and Phase II natural gas hydrogen-blending stations in one south and one north of the park. It is estimated that the annual hydrogen consumption of the two stations will reach 10 million cubic meters, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 21,600 tons per year, and increase hydrogen consumption as downstream customers increase gas consumption.

Focusing on the utilization of low-carbon energy, Taixing City has accelerated the comprehensive development and utilization of "blue hydrogen" resources and built a comprehensive utilization system of hydrogen energy that integrates "production, storage, transportation, addition and use." At the same time, we will strictly implement source control of the "two high" projects, strengthen limit and limit management, and increase the proportion of green electricity use. On May 13, the province's first "green electricity loan" was implemented in Taixing City. Bank of Jiangsu Taizhou Branch issued a special loan of 4 million yuan with a low interest rate to Xinpu Chemical Company, which was used to pay electricity bills.

Green development is the background of high-quality development, and new productivity itself is green productivity. Taixing City collaboratively promotes carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and accelerates the green transformation of development methods. Focus on the "123" characteristic industry segments, coordinate the revitalization of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries, accelerate the construction of new industrialization and the cultivation of new quality productivity, and strive to create a high-quality development demonstration zone for the provincial manufacturing industry. The "123" Action Plan for the Climbing of Characteristic Industries (2024-2026)"was issued, focusing on the cluster development of characteristic industries such as fine chemicals and new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing, medicine and medical equipment, new food, new energy, and green environmental protection, and strive to achieve the" six major climbs "of scale, total structure level, development quality and efficiency, innovation level, green connotation, and industrial ecology.

We need space for green and momentum for transformation. Taixing City has built a green manufacturing system based on ESG concepts, comprehensively carried out demonstrations and creation of green factories, green parks, green technology products, and green supply chains, piloted differentiated assessments of enterprise energy conservation, pollution reduction and emission reduction, and built a "carbon efficiency code" comprehensive service management platform. So far, 1 national-level green park, 7 national-level green factories, and 2 national-level green design products have been created; last year, 300,000 tons of standard coal were freed up in energy-use space. This year, it is planned to implement 30 green transformation and improvement projects and create more than 10 green manufacturing system brands at or above the provincial level.

In the Jinmaoyuan (East China) Surface Treatment Circular Economy Industrial Park, 18 pipes in the underground comprehensive pipe gallery are directly connected to enterprises in the park, classifying electroplating wastewater and accurately controlling pollution just like garbage classification. The industrial park has a total investment of 3 billion yuan and strives to provide services such as sewage treatment, electroplating waste liquid disposal, and heavy metal sludge disposal to settled electroplating companies. So far, more than 30 companies have settled in the first phase of the project, of which nearly 10 have been completed and put into trial operation.

In recent years, a total of 7 "Green Island" construction pilot projects in Taixing City have been included in the provincial "Green Island" project library by building environmentally friendly public infrastructure and creating a green development highland for industries.

Add green and enhance beauty

Highlight the value of "ecology +" and "diversity"

As the construction of the Changtai Yangtze River Bridge approaches the closure, in aerial photos taken by drones, Tianxingzhou, the "emerald" of the Xijiang River, is often seen in the same frame as the majestic bridge, which is amazing for the beauty of nature's gifts and human creation.

To jointly protect the "one river clear water" and jointly build the beautiful Yangtze River, Taixing City takes the construction of the Taizhou section of the Yangtze River National Park as an opportunity to coordinate and promote the pilot construction of the Tianxingzhou "Ecological Island" pilot area, strengthen the management and protection of ecological wetlands and ecological corridors along the Yangtze River, implement the Yangtze River's ten-year fishing ban and biodiversity protection, accelerate the implementation of the Yangtze River coastline management and restoration and industrial transformation comprehensive development (EOD) project, and build a "one core, two corridors, three belts, three districts and multiple points" biodiversity protection along the river. Spatial pattern. Last year, the Tianxingzhou "Ecological Island" pilot area project received a provincial special award of 25 million yuan and was included in the provincial biodiversity observation system for important wetlands along the river.

Collecting compensation funds for ecological and environmental damage for the construction of "carbon sink forests" is an innovative practice in Taixing City. On May 22, Taixing City's "Carbon Carbon Forest" Science Education Base was unveiled in Eastern Suburb Forest Park (Eastern Suburb Ecological Conservation Area). The first phase of the base is planned to cover an area of 15 acres, and the selection of tree species with strong adaptability, rapid growth, high carbon absorption capacity and economic value is preferred. This time, a total of 23 companies paid more than 120,000 yuan in ecological and environmental damage compensation for the construction of "carbon sink forests".

Deeply explore ecological characteristics and develop application scenarios for realizing the value of ecological products. So far, Taixing City has built the Taixing Economic Development Zone tailwater purification ecological wetland, Taixing High-tech Zone ecological protection safety buffer zone, and Hongqiao Liuwei Port ecological buffer zone demonstration project; Taixing High-tech Zone has created a provincial water conservancy scenic spot, Taixing High-tech Zone has created a national ecological environment science popularization base, and Madian Water Conservancy Project has been rated as a national 3A-level tourist attraction.

Wherever you can see, there is green and eye-catching; when you go out, you will be in the park, and when you move, you will change the scenery. Focusing on building a high-quality living environment and creating a "livable Taixing and happy home", in the Urban area, last year, we comprehensively promoted the improvement of the functions of "Shuangshui·Shuanghe", implemented 11 greening projects, and added and renovated a green area of 150,000 square meters., a 21-kilometer high-quality ecological fitness trail, was selected as the first batch of pilot cities for opening and sharing urban parks and green spaces in the province. In rural areas, in-depth improvement and improvement of the living environment have been carried out in recent years. So far, full coverage of provincial-level ecological civilization construction demonstration towns (streets) has been achieved, and 21 provincial-level ecological civilization construction demonstration villages and 10 provincial-level characteristic pastoral villages have been created. There are 33 villages suitable for livable, business and beautiful in the province, and 369 beautiful and livable villages have been built.
