Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued an announcement to impose penalties on 19 companies with outstanding problems in desulfurization facilities in 2013. According to Xinhua News Agency, 19 companies have a total of 410 million yuan in fines for desulfurization or recovery of sewage charges. The "Daily Economic News" reporter noted that among the 19 listed companies, the five major power groups have listed subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries of China Resources, PetroChina and Shenhua are also on the list. It is also known that in May last year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection also issued public penalties for the fraudulent data on desulfurization data of several central enterprises, but the company still repeatedly punishes repeatedly.
"At present, the profitability of power companies has changed a lot. In this case, desulfurization and fraud, it is really impossible to say, I think the penalty." Hong Kong rich group black industry analyst Zhang Zhibin said. Feng Yongfeng, the founder of the Natural University, disclosed in detail three ways for companies to falsify environmental data such as desulfurization. He also stressed that “air pollution data monitoring is difficult, and corporate fraud is easier.â€
19 companies involved in fraud
The list of penalized enterprises announced by the official website of the Ministry of Environmental Protection includes Shenyang Huarun Thermal Power Co., Ltd., Xinjiang Huadian Kashi Phase II Power Generation Co., Ltd., Yangcheng International Power Generation Co., Ltd., China Power Investment Pingdingshan Yaomeng Second Power Co., Ltd., China Resources Power Ning) Co., Ltd., Datang Inner Mongolia Duolun Coal Chemical Co., Ltd., China National Petroleum Corporation Ningxia Petrochemical Company, 19 companies, among which power companies are the hardest hit areas, and some steel and nonferrous metals and chemical companies. 19 enterprises may have abnormal operation of desulfurization equipment, or improper use of automatic monitoring systems, monitoring data fraud, and excessive emission of sulfur dioxide.
The "Daily Economic News" reporter found that the five major power Huaneng, Guodian, Huadian, Datang, and China Power Investment Corporation's holdings or shareholding subsidiaries have been on the list. Among them, the problem of Xinjiang Huadian Kashi Phase II Power Generation Co., Ltd. is that “the desulfurization facilities of the 1# and 2# units of the company are often shut down after being put into operation, and the emission exceeds the standard for a long timeâ€; the problem involved in Yangcheng International Power Generation Co., Ltd. is “ During the desulfurization reform of the 1#-4# unit, the desulfurization facilities were not put into operation simultaneously.
The official website of the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that the enterprises with outstanding problems in the above-mentioned 19 desulfurization facilities were listed and supervised, and the rectification plan for flue gas desulphurization facilities was completed within 30 working days from the date of the announcement. Before the end of 2014, the rectification tasks were completed and the overdue was not completed. , according to the law, heavier punishment. The provincial-level environmental protection administrative department of the place where the 19 enterprises are located shall, within 15 working days from the date of the announcement, determine the amount of sulfur dioxide emission charge for 2013 that should be paid in full according to the sulfur dioxide emissions approved in 2013. The sulphur dioxide sewage charges already collected are recovered.
Electric power companies repeatedly punish
The problem of desulfurization is a problem that has repeatedly been repeated in the power industry. In May last year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced the investigation and punishment of the total amount of major pollutants in the country in 2012, and listed and supervised the abnormal operation of desulfurization facilities in 15 enterprises and the fraudulent monitoring data. At that time, there were a number of power companies on the list, among which three subsidiaries of Huadian Group were on the list.
Previously, the industry also had a relatively tolerant voice, arguing that the power companies' implementation of desulfurization and denitrification was weak or that they had more investment in the early stage of the installation, and subsidies were difficult to cover the cost, and the power of the power companies was limited. However, at present, these are no longer an excuse for poor implementation. Zhang Zhibin told the "Daily Economic News" reporter that because coal prices have fallen sharply, the profitability of power companies has seen a sharp improvement, and the country has a special subsidy for desulfurization electricity prices, roughly 0.015 yuan / kWh. "It is really impossible to implement the desulfurization problem again. This time it is indeed a punishment."
According to Xinhua News Agency earlier this year, the lower coal price has turned the power generation group, which is mainly based on thermal power, into a big profit. In 2013, the total profit of the five major power generation groups reached 74.034 billion yuan, a record high in recent years. The largest Huaneng Group achieved a profit of 20.844 billion yuan in 2013, 15.749 billion yuan from Guodian Group, 15.174 billion yuan from Huadian Group, 11.156 billion yuan from China Power Investment Corporation and 11.066 billion yuan from Datang Group.
Zhang Zhibin explained that the implementation is weak on the one hand because of the unscrupulous behavior under the control of laxity; on the other hand, the "technical bureaucracy" problem existing in central enterprises, "the current desulfurization technology is very mature, and the improvement of new equipment can not only meet the standards in environmental protection. And it is also economically significant, but there are some technical leaders in the company who are unwilling to change the equipment."
Enterprises have three ways of fraud
“Monitoring for gas emissions is almost the most difficult, which also makes it easier for companies to falsify gas emissions data.†Feng Yongfeng, founder of the Natural University, told reporters that the current environmental data similar to sulfur dioxide is very serious. There are three kinds of fraudulent means in the industry, such as real emission data fraud, data fraud over-standard emissions, and online fraud data fraud. The third type involves companies changing the instrument base for fraud. In response to this penalty, Feng Yongfeng believes that the real-time disclosure of online monitoring data and public supervision is an effective way to promote enterprise improvement.
Ma Jun, director of the Beijing Center for Public and Environmental Studies, also emphasized the importance of corporate environmental monitoring data disclosure. He believes that the company's repeated punishment is not strict, the law enforcement is not strict, and the cost of illegal business is low. "Enterprises also do not have a level playing field. Whoever exceeds the standard who violates the law will take advantage of it, so companies will naturally do so under the interest-driven approach."
"4.1 billion yuan is only to recover the money, it is to recover the sewage and other expenses, this is what the enterprise should pay. According to the current environmental regulations, these enterprises can only be fined 50,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan for any of the 19 There is no warning effect.†Ma Jun said that the new environmental protection law will be implemented on January 1 next year. Among them, daily punishment is a powerful measure, and another “revision of forgery data requires legal responsibilityâ€, that is, the relevant responsible person It is to be detained. This involves companies involving third parties, and even government workers who do not act. "This will also be a kind of deterrent, but the key depends on whether these laws can be implemented."
Ministry of Environmental Protection increases penalties
Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other eight ministries and commissions jointly held a video teleconference in Beijing to deploy the 2014 national rectification of illegal sewage companies to protect the public health and environmental protection special actions. Zhou Shengxian, the convener of the Inter-Ministerial Joint Meeting of Environmental Protection Special Action and the Minister of Environmental Protection, said at the meeting that in 2013, a total of 1.83 million law enforcement personnel were dispatched nationwide, and 6,499 environmental violations were investigated and handled, and 1,523 were supervised. Among them, the environmental protection departments at all levels transferred a total of 706 suspected environmental crime cases to the public security organs throughout the year, and the number of transfers exceeded the sum of the previous 10 years.
Zhou Shengxian summed up the work of environmental protection special actions last year from five aspects, including the strict investigation of illegal activities of using groundwater, seepage pits, fissures and karst discharge wastewater to pollute groundwater, conducting special inspections on air pollution prevention and control, and specializing in rectifying pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises. Heavy-duty metal emission enterprises carry out “reviewing†and strengthen environmental supervision measures.
In introducing the "enhanced environmental supervision measures", Zhou Shengxian emphasized that the environmental protection departments at all levels transferred a total of 706 suspected environmental crime cases to the public security organs in 2013, and the number of transfers exceeded the sum of the previous 10 years; the public security organs accepted 637 cases to condemn environmental pollution crimes. 109 pieces, arresting 186 criminals.
Zhou Shengxian said that the in-depth development of special activities for supervision and law enforcement has played a positive role in changing environmental quality. The monitoring results show that in the national control section of the top ten basins in 2013, the ratio of I-III water quality section and inferior V water quality section increased by 2.7 percentage points and decreased by 1.2 percentage points respectively.
Zhou Shengxian said that in 2014, the work related to environmental protection special actions must focus on three aspects of work. They are: comprehensively implementing the "Ten Articles of the Atmosphere", continuing to carry out special inspections on air pollution prevention and control; earnestly carrying out the "reviewing" of heavy metals and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, deepening the special rectification of water pollution in key polluting industries, and urging the environment found in law enforcement supervision The problem is to ensure that the corrective measures are implemented.
