by pollution control caused by "environmental storm" to the rising sun industry in the green industry, what the ups and downs behind?
some people say: "real estate is a bad boy and the environmental industry is a good boy." on the eve of the 12th five-year plan, the chinese economy urgently needs to find a driving force for sustainable development and also needs to find new economic growth points. to this end, in the seven strategic emerging industries, the environmental protection industry topped the list.
"because of the national emission reduction strategy, the 11th fyp is the first spring of the environmental protection industry, and the 12th fyp will be the second spring of the environmental protection industry due to the strategic emerging industries." tsinghua university institute of environmental protection industry chang fu tao said.
on november 25, 2010, the "energy conservation and environmental protection industry development plan" was approved by the state council and encouraged by the industry. it is estimated that during the 12th fyp period, china's environmental protection investment will reach 3.1 trillion yuan, an increase of about 101% over the investment of 1.54 trillion yuan during the 11th fyp period.
china has the largest green market in the world. it is estimated that at present, there are about 35,000 employing units in the environmental protection industry in the country, employing nearly 3 million people and the total industrial income is nearly 1 trillion yuan.
during the "12th five-year plan" period, what are the problems of the environmental protection industry in the foreseeable soaring development? a number of enterprises, experts and industry insiders accepted constructive suggestions when they interviewed by china economic weekly in an attempt to boost the development of the "12th five-year plan" for the environmental protection industry.
clarified "long management"
when it comes to the competent authorities of the environmental protection industry, the first reaction of the public is the environmental protection department, but this is not the case. since the environmental protection industry has been listed as a strategic emerging industries, the major ministries have begun to take actions to study supporting policies. the industry believes that this objective is also a "long management" of a reaction. should the major ministries involved in the functions of the environmental protection industry clarify and adjust?
the reporter learned from relevant sources that in 2010, a vice minister of the ministry of environmental protection led over 80 environmental entrepreneurs delegation to china to visit the environmental protection industry. this is an unprecedented event. in the past, the relationship between the environmental protection departments and environmental protection enterprises should be much more distant from one another.
according to insiders, according to the established division of labor, the environmental protection department is only responsible for environmental protection functions, while the industrial development is under the ndrc. therefore, the source believes that the environmental protection department now has a somewhat embarrassed attitude toward the environmental protection industry. it is learned that in the near future, the mep will promote the development of the environmental protection industry in a "promotion" way and will launch two important policy documents.
this raises the question of whether the functions of the ndrc and the environmental protection department need to be adjusted in the future? second, the situation of long management can stop?
according to informed sources to the "china economic weekly," introduction, as the energy-saving environmental protection industry involves many areas, but has been the lack of a clear industrial positioning, the market has been bull management, the national development and reform commission, ministry of environmental protection, ministry of industry and information, ministry of housing and urban-rural development, ministry of water resources, state department authority and other agencies have involved.
take the water industry in the environmental protection industry as an example. this is a huge market. the market size of tap water and sewage treatment alone exceeds 1 trillion yuan. in the major part of the reform in 2009, the central government authorized the local governments to decide on their own ownership of the water business. this mandate has laid the groundwork for long-term water market management.
from the traditional division of labor, urban water supply has always been vested in the management of housing construction, but recently, the water conservancy department launched an "integrated water management," the innovative management mode, all urban and rural water under the door, which makes the housing construction department somewhat somewhat accurate. a source disclosed that the ministry of housing and housing is stepping up a "document on promoting the operation and management of urban sewage treatment plants" document.
expert analysis, although the management of all government departments are famous, but whether it is to improve the administrative efficiency itself, or to improve the public service functions, the environmental protection departments in charge of industry in urgent need of a clear definition, otherwise it will hurt the development of the industry.
in response to the survey of "china economic weekly", "one of the greatest issues currently faced by the environmental protection industry", almost all the enterprises surveyed chose "an incomplete industrial policy system". in "need for government support," a majority of businesses showed a desire for a clear positioning of their administrations.
rely on the government or rely on the market?
with the progress of urbanization, many cities in china are faced with the scarcity of water resources and the "siege of garbage". by the government to solve or rely on the market to solve?
in an interview with china economic weekly, the head of an environmental protection company bluntly stated: "china's first-tier cities such as large cities such as beijing and shanghai have a large scale of municipal environmental protection projects and a good output. however, their distance from the market is greater the farther away, it is almost necessary to turn off the door of the market, and the market-orientation of the first-tier cities is going backward. "the reason is for safety reasons.
for the mega-cities of nearly 20 million people, safety is the priority. as an urban government, for the sake of safety, these matters will not be let go to the market. instead, they will be made by their own state-owned enterprises so that the government can rest assured that ordinary people can be assured.
this view was strongly opposed by the heads of these enterprises, "this is a big misunderstanding." he told china economic weekly that they are currently also undertaking water supply and sewage treatment projects in some second-tier cities. "we received this project feels lofty mission and unlimited pressure.we have to be century-old and if there is a problem, not only the service will be terminated by the government, but also a fatal impact on our brand. "
however, mr. zhang, a beijing resident, said: "there is no shortage of precedents if tap water supplies are used by social enterprises, such as the acquisition of lanzhou waterworks by veolia in france, which led to an increase in water prices and a great deal of public opinion."
however, there is also a professor li's university professors who expressed their disagreement with china economic weekly: "the government should give decentralization to social enterprises because the municipal-owned companies, despite their high standards and advanced technology, have also kept a number of lazy people. as long as social enterprises do 300 million yuan, why should the government-owned enterprises spend 500 million yuan? is not this a waste of taxpayers' money? "
it is indeed a good recipe for the environmental problems of a big country such as china, how to spend the least money and solve many problems. however, how to strike a balance between safeguarding the public interests and the healthy operation of the market mechanism is the inevitable result of the government a problem on the right.
who is spoiler?
for environmental protection enterprises, capital and technology are two wings of enterprise development, and are indispensable. there is no capital technology can not, the core technology can not buy the funds; there is no technical funds are not good, because some branches of the environmental protection industry are capital-intensive, there is no capital even ticket can not get, let alone into field competition.
however, in the fierce market competition, capital tends to be more lethal. a well-known domestic well-known environmental protection listed company executives told "china economic weekly", the sunward atmosphere of the environmental protection industry has also led to some dangerous capital predators, they have largely by the privatization of capital to the environmental protection industry to spoil the pond the trend. for example, assuming that refuse disposal charges 100 yuan per tonne, they are rich and powerful, ready for non-profit in three or five years, and asking for a straight drop of 40 yuan per tonne, making it impossible for the conventionally-run enterprises to contend with them and obediently disarm them.
in the environmental protection industry, the power of capital has long been apparent. in 2007, when acquiring the bidding company of lanzhou water supply group, two bidders offered 450 million yuan and 280 million yuan respectively. however, veolia france reported a high price of 1.71 billion yuan. as a result, it was naturally the highest bidder .
there is also a dangerous tendency. some capitalists, who do not possess the professional environmental protection technology, are attracted by the environmental protection industry. after investing several billion dollars in water, they often muddle the water in this industry , i have not been able to develop myself.
the personage hopes this kind of phenomenon can get the relevant government department's attention, must carry on the necessary supervisory to the related enterprise, after all, the market is not the omnipotent, can not have everything by the capital has the final say. only with the government's necessary supervision can capital form a positive boost to the development of the industry.
faced with the favorable environment for the capital industry, many environmental protection companies also agree.
