The coking industry has entered a new critical development period
Jan. 26, 2021
At the same time, industry insiders believe that the current coking industry has entered a new critical development period, and the construction of green coking has become the common responsibility of the entire industry. The coking industry must adhere to the new development concept, force industrial transformation with ecological and environmental protection, promote the energy revolution with quality upgrading, further optimize the structure and layout, promote industrial scale agglomeration, extend the industrial chain, improve equipment levels, and strive to achieve high-quality development. Coking companies must find a precise position in serving the development of steel and related industries, build a coking industry system with unique Chinese characteristics, and realize a new pattern of combining traditional coking industry and modern industry and developing coordinated development.
Recently, many regions have made clear plans and goals for the high-quality development of the coking industry. For example, Hebei issued the "Several Policies and Measures on Promoting the Structural Adjustment of the Coking Industry for High-quality Development"; the "Notice on the Three-Year Action Plan for the High-quality Green Development of the Coking Industry in Shanxi Province" is being implemented; Implementation Opinions on the Transformation and Upgrading of the Electricity Industry with High-Quality Development. The common point of the policies issued by various places is: the development of the coking industry towards high quality depends on technological progress and innovation to promote the coking industry from traditional coal chemical industry to providing "high-quality carbon source" and low-cost "hydrogen source" for modern coal chemical industry. , A variety of "oil sources", "carbon-based new materials" and "clean and burnt civilian coke" and other transformations, in order to comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of the coking industry and expand its space for survival and development. Coking companies should pay attention to the clustering effect of coking industrial parks, create higher benefits, do a good job in the construction of parks in the shared era, extend the industrial chain appropriately, and promote the development of circular economy; they should look for opportunities in the transfer of regional coke production capacity and enhance their sense of political responsibility. We will do a good job in enterprise safety production, establish a long-term environmental protection mechanism, promote the green development of the industry, and vigorously promote multi-faceted cooperation with industry alliances as the link.
However, there are still some problems in the coking industry. For example, the economic operation of the coking industry is still in the process of transforming new and old kinetic energy, and a unified, open and competitive market system needs to be improved; the task of energy conservation and emission reduction for coking enterprises is urgent and the task of meeting standards is urgent. Difficulties and heavy responsibilities; coking companies have tight liquidity and high debt ratios, and coking companies’ sustained profitability and risk control capabilities are not stable and solid enough; coking companies make scientific decisions, innovate management, and establish efficient operating mechanisms, reasonable distribution mechanisms and The ability of the talent training mechanism needs to be improved.
In response to these problems, industry experts suggest: First, we must actively promote the integration of industry assets, product structure adjustment, and increase industry concentration through enterprise mergers and reorganizations, and accelerate intensified development.
The second is to achieve new results in transforming the driving force of development, rely on innovation to create a new engine for development, open up new space for development, cultivate new economic growth points, and achieve sustainable development.
The third is to focus on improving product quality and competitiveness, focus on core business, self-adjustment, innovation and upgrading in product structure, industrial structure, technical structure, talent structure, etc., and focus on the goal of promoting industry and products to the high-end value chain. Carry out scientific research, optimize and extend the deep processing industrial chain of coke oven gas, coal tar, and crude benzene, realize product diversification and qualitative development, and enhance product value.
Fourth is to persist in creating value orientation for users, and realize the transformation from scale development to quality development, and from self-development to mutually beneficial development.
Fifth, it is necessary to develop informatization and intelligent technology of coke manufacturing process, promote the application of automation and informatization control technology in the production organization and operation management of the coking industry; further utilize modern means such as "Internet" and e-commerce to fully optimize the configuration of coking The information flow, material flow, and capital flow of the industry form a new business format that is standardized, fair and equitable, and efficient in operation, which will eventually promote and accelerate the high-quality development of the coking industry, making my country a strong country in coke production.
