Environmental protection industry's "shift speed" total output value will reach trillion

China's environmental protection industry has gradually developed along with the development of environmental protection.

In the past 2007, the National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” introduced environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction to an unprecedented height, and behind the environmental protection business is a huge opportunity for environmental protection industry. Some experts predict that China’s environmental protection industry Like a rising sun, it has a broad market prospect.

The National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” shows that in order to achieve the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” environmental protection goals, the national environmental protection investment accounts for approximately 1.35% of the GDP of the same period. In 2006, China’s GDP reached RMB 21.087 trillion, which means that during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, about 300 billion yuan will be invested in the environmental protection industry each year.

More analysis believes that under the promotion of policies, China's environmental protection industry will maintain an annual compound growth rate of 15%-20% for a period of time. The National Development and Reform Commission predicts that by 2010, the total output value of China's environmental protection industry will reach 880 billion yuan, accounting for about 3.4% of annual GDP in the same period.

Among the environmental protection industries, sub-sectors such as sewage treatment for water pollution, flue gas desulphurization for air pollution, and waste disposal for solid waste pollution are also reviving their respective fields.

Sewage treatment favored by venture capital

The proper treatment of sewage will become an important topic for China's future industrial development. Water pollution control will also become the top priority for environmental protection industry investment.

It is understood that during the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, only the investment in the construction of urban sewage treatment facilities is expected to exceed 330 billion yuan, and the huge "cake" of sewage treatment has attracted many foreign venture capital funds.

In the process of rapid economic development in China, the extensive growth model has caused large-scale water pollution. Since 2007, blue algae in Taihu Lake, Dianchi Lake and Chaohu Lake have been successively outbreaks, and China has entered the stage of intensive outbreak of water pollution. The State Environmental Protection Administration has successively issued a series of policies such as “Regional Restricted Approval” and “Restricted Watershed Restrictions.” This shows that the government’s determination to manage environmental pollution has brought about huge business opportunities in the sewage treatment industry.

In the National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, the urban sewage treatment project is clearly listed as one of the “11th Five-Year Plan” environmental protection key projects. It is necessary to increase the urban wastewater treatment scale by 45 million tons/day, and transform and improve the existing Sewage treatment plant and supporting pipe network, supporting the safe disposal of sludge and the use of recycled water.

It is understood that about 42% of the cities in the country are not equipped with sewage treatment capacity, while the sewage treatment rates of developed countries in Europe and America are generally more than 80%. The sewage treatment rates in the United States, the Netherlands, and other countries even exceed 90%.

Our goal is that by the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, all established cities and counties where the county-level cities are located should plan to build centralized urban sewage treatment facilities. The urban sewage treatment rate should be no less than 70%, and the national urban sewage treatment capacity should reach 1 Billion tons/day.

In this regard, the industry analysts, this aspect needs at least about 200 billion yuan in matching funds, most of which will be raised through market-based methods. At the same time, the State will also strengthen the operation, management and supervision of urban sewage treatment facilities, increase the utilization rate of the sewage treatment plants, and increase their profitability.

Of course, international investors have also witnessed huge investment opportunities in sewage treatment. According to reports, venture capital funds chasing high returns are madly chasing the sewage treatment industry in China. In 2006, as many as 420 million U.S. dollars in venture capital were invested in sewage purification in the Mainland of China. Project, venture capital investment in sewage treatment has reached a growth rate of 147%, far higher than the investment rate of investment in the IT industry for venture capital; in 2007, there was 154 million US dollars in new funds in the first quarter alone. It is recruited from overseas and put into the Chinese sewage treatment market.

In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission plans that by 2010 all urban sewage treatment fees will be raised to more than RMB 0.8 per cubic meter of water supply, and industrial sewage will be charged two to three times the processing fee depending on the level of pollution.

Chen Dong and Yang Fan of the macroeconomic strategy department of China Gold Securities believe that the water treatment industry will be in a period of high growth during 2007-2010.

The flue gas desulphurization 100 billion "cakes" need orderly competition as an important part of air pollution control. Flue gas desulfurization has been developing quite rapidly for a period of time.

In the National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, the coal-fired power plant and the sintering furnace flue gas desulphurization project of the iron and steel industry are clearly listed as one of the “Eleventh Five-Year” environmental protection key projects, and the construction of desulphurization facilities for thermal power units in active service must be accelerated. The installed desulfurization capacity of the active thermal power units reached 213 million kilowatts.

It is reported that during the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, the state's investment in the flue gas desulfurization industry will account for about 10% of all investment in the environmental protection industry. It is estimated that the investment in flue gas desulfurization will be around 130 billion yuan in five years.

Cutting sulfur dioxide emissions is an important part of preventing air pollution. As early as 1998, China's sulfur dioxide emissions have reached 20,900,000 tons, making it the world's largest emitter of sulfur dioxide; in 2006, China's sulfur dioxide emissions was 25.878 million tons. According to reports, the current average sulfur content of thermal power coal is 1.03%. If it is left untreated, by 2010 China's thermal power generation alone will cause about 100 million tons of sulfur dioxide emissions.
The National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” made it clear that it is necessary to focus on the construction of desulphurization facilities for thermal power plants and ensure that the target of completing a 10% reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions is achieved.

The power industry is the main industry for sulfur dioxide emissions, which exceeds 50% of the country's total sulfur dioxide emissions. Apart from shutting down small thermal power units, the role of flue gas desulfurization in the reduction task will occupy 90%. To this end, the state will promote the industrialization of desulphurization in thermal power plants. In the future, it will further increase investment in environmental protection technology and equipment independent innovation and policy support.

In order to achieve the emission reduction target, under the premise of installing desulphurization facilities in the “11th Five-Year Plan” new coal-fired power plants, engineering measures must also be taken to reduce the 4.9 million tons of sulfur dioxide in active thermal power units so that the installed desulfurization capacity of active thermal power units can be reached. 213 million kilowatts, desulphurization projects such as flue gas desulphurization of iron and steel sintering machines, formed desulfurization capacity of 300,000 tons

It is reported that during the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, China will put 355 million kilowatts of desulphurization units into operation, of which, newly built coal-fired power plants will synchronously put 188 million kilowatts of desulfurization units, and existing coal-fired power plants will put in desulphurization units at 167 million kilowatts, resulting in the reduction of sulfur dioxide. Capability of 5.9 million tons.

According to industry insiders, this means that the market demand for desulphurization projects in China during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period will reach 78 billion yuan, with an annual average of more than 15 billion yuan. China will become the world's largest market for flue gas desulfurization, and the flue gas desulphurization industry will usher in unprecedented opportunities for development during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period.

However, it is worth noting that due to the current low entry threshold for domestic flue gas desulfurization market, lack of industry standards and legal regulations, the rapid expansion of the market has attracted many SMEs to join, and the number of desulphurization enterprises has increased from 2 in 2001 to 2006. More than 200 companies have also triggered vicious price competition among desulphurization companies. At the same time, the unit cost of desulphurization projects has dropped from 800-1200 yuan/kw in 2001 to 120-150 yuan/kw at the end of 2005, and there are still further declines. the trend of.

Chen Dong and Yang Fan of the macroeconomic strategy department of Guojin Securities believe that this kind of deformed competition in the desulfurization industry will continue to exist for a period of time in the future. It is hoped that the “backed” enterprises in the desulfurization industry can grow rapidly and complete the integration of the industry in the disorderly competition under the continuous expansion of the market, which may be the best arrangement for the desulphurization industry to form a healthy and orderly industry order in the future. .

Waste disposal city treasure has great market potential

Rubbish is produced along with the process of industrialization and urbanization. Once there was a person who called rubbish as a modern “city treasure” to describe the huge market prospect of the rubbish treatment business.

With the increase of industrialization and people’s living standards, the problem of solid waste pollution in China has become increasingly prominent. Industrial solid waste increases by 7% annually, urban solid waste increases by 4% annually, and solid waste disposal capacity is obviously insufficient. At present, about 50% of the cities in cities nationwide have not yet established garbage disposal facilities, and domestic garbage is simply landfilled, causing pollution problems.

In the future, China will gradually realize the reduction, recycling, and harmlessness of garbage disposal, and coordinate economic development and environmental protection. This is also the guarantee for maintaining the sustainable development of the city.

According to Liu Jiangang and Zheng Fangyu, research fellows of Industrial Securities Environmental Water Industry, the solid waste treatment industry includes three areas of municipal solid waste disposal, industrial solid waste and hazardous waste disposal. The latter two are small batch, multi-species, and professional. Characteristics, generally handled by professional companies in various industries, it is difficult to form a large-scale business model, so urban solid waste disposal is currently the main business of China's solid waste treatment industry.

The urban domestic waste treatment industry chain includes the main links of garbage collection, transit transportation and disposal, among which the garbage collection system is generally operated by the government's sanitation department, and the intermediate transport and processing links can be handed over to the enterprises for market operation, including Encourage waste incineration, such as power generation and heating.

The prospects of the urban waste treatment industry are very promising. It is understood that the harmless treatment rate of domestic garbage will increase from the current 40% to more than 60% in 2010, and the increase in the disposal rate of domestic garbage will bring about considerable incremental market space for solid waste treatment enterprises. It is estimated that by 2010, the scale of China's waste treatment industry will reach 250 billion yuan.

In the National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, the plan for the construction of environmentally sound disposal facilities for urban household garbage shall be clearly listed as a key project for environmental protection in the “11th Five-Year Plan”, and the capacity for harmless treatment of urban domestic garbage shall be increased by 240,000. Tons per day, the harmless treatment rate of municipal solid waste is not less than 60%.

According to the research report of Guojin Securities, during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s total investment in the harmless treatment of urban garbage was 86.29 billion yuan, and the average annual investment was approximately 17.3 billion yuan.

It is understood that the National Development and Reform Commission will also implement a comprehensive waste disposal fee system and expand the scope of waste disposal fees. The standard of waste disposal fees also compensates for the costs of waste collection, collection, transportation, and processing, and makes them profitable.

Chen Dong and Yang Fan of the macroeconomic strategy department of Guojin Securities believe that the process of industrialization and urbanization has brought about huge room for the development of the solid waste treatment industry. With the increase of the charging level and the charging efficiency, the harmless treatment industry of urban domestic garbage has a higher level. Growth.
