[Industry Focus]:Under the dual control of energy consumption, the "shutdown tide" and "holiday tide" hit, and millions of tons of chemical production capacity stopped production.

Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued a notice on the issuance of the "2021-2022 Autumn and Winter Air Pollution Comprehensive Control Plan". According to the new characteristics of air pollution, urban pollution characteristics in autumn and winter, and regional transmission laws, from 80 prefecture-level and above cities last year to 59 cities. On the basis of the 39 cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas and the Fenwei Plain, a total of 20 cities in northern Hebei, northern Shanxi, southeastern Shandong and southern Henan have been added. According to the PM2.5 control concentration, heavy pollution days target, the implementation of key industry differentiation emission reduction. The "Plan" of

focuses on petrochemical, chemical, coal chemical, coking, steel, building materials, nonferrous metals, coal power and other industries, and comprehensively sorts out and investigates the proposed, under construction and stock "two high" projects. The main goal is that during the autumn and winter (October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022), each city will complete the PM2.5 concentration control target and the control target of the number of days of severe and above pollution. At the same time, it will also specify the air quality improvement target of each relevant city in 7 provinces (cities) including Beijing in the autumn and winter of 2021-2022.

environmental protection pressure has become stricter, dozens of regions across the country have begun to tighten control. Some companies said that local environmental inspections have begun to conduct environmental protection inspections in key industries, and petrochemical, coking and other companies have also begun six months of staggered production. It is understood that the recent pressure on the chemical industry is not only environmental protection, but also the pressure of double control of energy consumption to reduce production.
Recently, the price of thermal power raw coal has continued to increase worldwide, and thermal power generation is in a state of serious losses. Under the energy emergency, the constraints of "dual control of energy consumption" have been superimposed. More than 20 provinces, cities and regions across the country have carried out power outages and power cuts to varying degrees. The production capacity of high-energy-consuming enterprises such as chemical industry, building materials, textile printing and dyeing is limited, forming a "shutdown and holiday wave ".
Zhejiang Jiaxing area started the orderly power consumption D-level plan from October 28, Tongxiang area bombing enterprises from October 28 to November 4, polyester enterprises from October 28 to November 18 daily 17 hours to 9 hours the next day load reduction operation; Tongkun, Jushi, Xinfengming and other listed companies in the chemical and plastic industry chain are explicitly required to limit electricity consumption.

the above-mentioned chemical enterprises to stop production or even have holidays. In addition, many small and medium-sized enterprises stopped work in advance to avoid danger.
