Scientific and technological innovation promotes industrial transformation and upgrading
Walking into the Shaoye Zinc Distillation Production Workshop, the high temperature working environment and the roaring machine sound, the fiery refining furnace is operating intelligently. Chen Lu, deputy chief engineer and deputy director of the workshop, opened the two furnace doors and intuitively compared the difference between the new and old combustion technologies to the reporter, "The old-fashioned burner on the right has a free-burning flame, and the heat transfer around it is not very good." On the left is the porous ceramic medium burner, the gas in the porous media pores to produce vortex, shunt and sink violent disturbance, the formation of flameless combustion, it heat uniform, thermal radiation is very balanced, there is no obvious high temperature zone. ”
Chen Lu introduced that the collection and comparison of the 37 days of basic data in the workshop found that the energy saving and low-carbon results brought by the new equipment were very obvious, the nitrogen oxide emission content was basically below 30mg/m^3, the consumption of natural gas decreased by 21.9%, and the oxidative ablation of metal zinc decreased by 48.68%, which was a very considerable technical improvement for the production process.
The changes brought about by technology have benefited from the research and development of Wang Enge, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chairman of the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory. In the active docking of Shaoguan City, the team set up the Shaoguan Advanced Materials Research Institute to cooperate with related enterprises to effectively solve the pain points of the industry such as excessive nitrogen oxide emissions, high energy consumption, and unstable combustion.
As an old industrial base, Shaoguan has a brilliant industrial history. After the founding of New China, Shaoguan seized the opportunity of "small third-line construction", built a heavy industry base in South China, cultivated more than 200 categories of industrial systems, and created many "firsts" in Guangdong, such as the first car, the first television set, the first refrigerator, the first air conditioner and so on.
After more than half a century of glory, Shaoguan industry has a dilemma of "must be reformed". In November 2011, Shaoguan became the third batch of resource-depleted cities in China. Between the ups and downs, a leap with transformation and development as the main line began to be conceived. In September 2019, Shaoguan was included in the second batch of 8 cities in the country's industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration zone. Under the pressure of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry has become an inevitable trend.
In recent years, Shaoguan City has proposed to promote the reform of industrial transformation and upgrading and the construction of demonstration areas with extraordinary measures, comprehensively promote the improvement of innovation capabilities, the optimization of business environment, the development of the real economy and ecological restoration, and pay attention to stimulating the vitality and endogenous power of urban development, and the city's industrial development has entered a high-speed development track, effectively promoting positive progress in industrial transformation and upgrading.
Scientific and technological innovation is an important measure for transformation and upgrading. Shaoguan regards the problems encountered in industrial development as the main direction of scientific and technological innovation, regards enterprises as the core subject of innovation-driven development, and cultivates emerging industries as an important starting point for realizing the transformation of new and old kinetic energy. At present, Shaoguan City is cultivating and expanding the three strategic pillar industries of advanced materials, advanced equipment and modern light industry, and the three strategic emerging industries of biomedicine, electronic information manufacturing, big data and software information service industry. Shaoguan, an old industrial base and resource-depleted city, is taking on new vitality and achieving a magnificent turnaround.

As an important national ecological function area, Shaoguan shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining the ecological safety of Nanling and providing high-quality ecological services for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and is also one of the main power supply bases in Guangdong, and has a unique advantage in the development of new energy industry. In April this year, Shaoguan City held a new energy industry docking conference, taking the lead in sounding the clarion call for the development of the entire new energy industry chain.
Under the promotion of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, Shaoguan proposed to take energy development as an important strategic principle that must be adhered to for a long time in the city's economic and social development, accelerate the establishment of a strategic emerging industry of the new energy industry chain with new energy as the mainstay, rationally layout and actively promote the development of the new energy industry, realize the value of resource assets, and accelerate the process of Shaoguan striving to become the vanguard of high-quality development in the northern ecological development zone.
"Shaoguan new energy power construction started earlier, the status quo has a certain scale, solar energy, wind energy and other renewable energy resource conditions have obvious advantages, quartz sand and special steel and other raw materials have a good foundation." Guo Xiangui, director of the Shaoguan Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, said. Shaoguan equipment manufacturing industry has initially formed an industrial cluster effect, the city is currently strengthening the overall planning of resources and industrial development planning layout, the development of the whole industrial chain of new energy ushered in a new development opportunities.
Shaoguan has great potential for the development of new energy resources, with an installed capacity of 8.3895 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power generation, and an installed capacity of 3.21 million kilowatts of wind farm projects to be developed。 Shaoguan City proposed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, vigorously develop photovoltaic and wind power, orderly development of hydropower and biomass power generation, centralized construction and distribution development, promote the development of hydrogen energy, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce the increase rate and quantity of carbon emissions as much as possible while increasing the total energy supply.
Shaoguan City proposed that it will focus on the layout of the whole industrial chain of new energy such as solar energy and wind energy, give full play to its advantages in steel, nonferrous metallurgy, rare earths, etc. to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, strengthen cooperation with leading enterprises and material supply bases, introduce and develop integrated machine manufacturing and key parts manufacturers, and strive to build an economic, clean and efficient low-carbon energy development system to provide energy security for the city's economic and social development to achieve good and rapid development.
In order to support the construction, operation and development of new energy industry projects, Shaoguan City has also intensively introduced a series of support policies to promote investment promotion, support enterprise innovation and development, and revitalize the real economy around "cost reduction, excellent service, and efficiency improvement", and provide financial and tax support, talent support, and scientific and technological innovation for the construction and development of leading enterprise projects that are interested in and have the strength to invest in and develop the new energy industry in Shaoguan.
Innovation-driven empowerment of resource assets is valued
"All walks of life are developing towards intelligence, and nature reserves must also embark on the road of wisdom." Our pilot is an exploration of smart protected areas. Today, Guangdong Chebaling National Nature Reserve provides us with rich practical experience. At the recent work conference on the pilot evaluation of the construction of the Wildlife Monitoring Demonstration Reserve in the China Biosphere Reserve, Xu Zhihong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a high evaluation to the pilot work of the Chebaling Conservation Area.
At the meeting, experts unanimously agreed that chebaling national nature reserve passed the pilot assessment, which marked the completion of the construction of the country's first wildlife monitoring demonstration reserve, and also meant that Chebaling entered a new journey of smart nature reserve construction.
In April 2018, the Chebaling Nature Reserve launched the pilot construction of the Wildlife Monitoring Demonstration Reserve in the China Biosphere Reserve. In the past three years, Chebaling has established a set of all-day, real-time and accurate detection systems in 7545 hectares of mountain forests, which can monitor and analyze the interference of human activities and natural disasters on the ecosystems of protected areas, and promote the improvement of ecosystem structure and function and population stability.
In the regional development pattern of "one nuclear, one belt and one region", Shaoguan is the backbone of the northern ecological development zone. As the first batch of national ecological civilization construction pilot demonstration areas and the first city of green ecology in Guangdong, Shaoguan City's core indicators such as forest coverage, living standing wood accumulation and forest land area remain the first in the province.
Shaoguan is rich in green resources, and there is a huge space for the value of ecological resources, and how to transform the advantages of resource assets into economic development advantages has become the key. The 14th Plenary Session of the 12th Cpc Committee of Shaoguan Municipal Committee held in January this year proposed to "promote the value of resource assets", promote the protection and development of resource assets with greater determination, accelerate the realization of the value of resource assets, expand the realization mode of value of resource assets, and accelerate the transformation of "green water and green mountains" into "golden mountains and silver mountains".
Grasp the new development stage, implement the new development concept, and build a new development pattern. At present, Shaoguan City seizes major opportunities such as the construction of "double districts", actively docks high-quality innovation resources, gives full play to the role of high-end talents such as academicians and experts, firmly takes the road of innovation-driven development, and empowers the vanguard of high-quality development in the northern ecological development zone.
At the first Lingnan Biodiversity Conservation Summit Forum held in March this year, a number of academicians made suggestions and suggestions on Shaoguan's promotion of the governance of landscape, forest, field, lake and grass systems; cooperated with the Agricultural Genome Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Shenzhen) to build a production base for the transformation of achievements; and jointly built the Nanling National Park Research Institute with the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Guangdong Academy of Sciences. The implementation of a series of measures has continuously highlighted the value of Shaoguan's ecological resources, and also released strong momentum for the realization of the value of resource assets.

Ecosystems have a huge capacity to sequester carbon, and forest carbon sinks are currently the most economical and realistic means to deal with climate change. The forest coverage rate of Shaoguan has reached 74.43%, with a forest area of 1.3705 million hectares and a forest stock of 96.5239 million cubic meters, ranking the forefront of the province.
Explore the value of ecological resources to create a model for green development in Shaoguan
Yangcheng Evening News commentator Li Meiyan
In the regional development pattern of "one nuclear, one belt and one region", Shaoguan is the backbone of the northern ecological development zone. Green resources are abundant here, and there is a huge space for the value of ecological resources. In recent years, the Shaoguan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have also clearly proposed to "promote the value of resource assets", explore the path to realize the value of diversified ecological products, and strive to create a model for green development in Shaoguan.
"Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", Shaoguan's family foundation to promote green development is rich, the key lies in how to effectively transform ecological advantages into industrial advantages, competitive advantages and development advantages, and accelerate the transformation of "green water and green mountains" into "golden mountains and silver mountains".
To transform ecological advantages into industrial advantages, the first thing is to seek impetus for reform. As a former heavy industrial base and resource-depleted city in South China, reform is a key move for Shaoguan to transform into a "new life". In recent years, Shaoguan has promoted development with reform, paid close attention to the green transformation and upgrading of the industry, solidly promoted the structural reform of the supply side, and accumulated the elimination of backward steel production capacity of 3.15 million tons, reducing costs for enterprises by 14.8 billion yuan. It is worth mentioning that Shaoguan has designated this year as the "year of comprehensively deepening reform", and making great efforts and taking the initiative to seek changes in the reform of the economic system will provide more favorable conditions for accelerating industrial transformation and upgrading and promoting high-quality development.
The key to transforming ecological advantages into competitive advantages is to be energetic to innovation. Emerging industries are an important starting point for the transformation of new and old kinetic energy, and scientific and technological innovation is an inexhaustible driving force for transformation and upgrading. At present, Shaoguan focuses on building three strategic pillar industries of advanced materials, advanced equipment and modern light industry, cultivating and developing three strategic emerging industries of biomedicine, electronic information manufacturing, big data and software information service industry, cultivating and developing 308 high-tech enterprises, with a coverage rate of 52% of the R&D institutions of industrial enterprises, introducing 8 academician team projects and 3 new R&D institutions, and the industrial structure is accelerating from the low-end to the high-end.
To transform ecological advantages into development advantages, the focus is on benefiting from the system. On the basis of building a solid ecological barrier in northern Guangdong, Shaoguan deepened the reform of the property rights system for natural resource assets and accelerated the realization of the value of resource assets. In recent years, Shaoguan has accelerated the identification of resource assets, improved the compensation mechanism for ecological protection, established a mechanism for the value assessment of ecological products and the paid use of natural resource assets, and explored the establishment of an "ecological bank" model. The implementation of this series of measures highlights Shaoguan's greater determination to continuously promote the protection and development of resources and assets, and is also releasing a steady stream of new momentum for building a model of green development in Shaoguan.
With the pilot project of "changing factory areas into parks and production areas into urban areas", we will promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries
Walking into the 2nd floor of the wisdom center of Baowu Group Guangdong Shaoguan Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shaogang"), the large display and operation table full of screens are divided into 7 work islands, and the real-time production screen from the production site can be seen. The Shaogang Wisdom Center, which was repaired and transformed from the old plant of the oxygen production unit, was launched in 2018.
Qiu Wensheng, head of the manufacturing department of Shaogang Steel of Baowu Group, said that the Shaosteel Wisdom Center integrates the control and decision-making of all units of the iron zone and can be introduced, combined with intelligent information technology, and uses intelligent manufacturing to promote the green and sustainable development of steel, to achieve more than 5 kilometers of cross-process, cross-regional, long-distance, large-scale centralized control, a series of intelligent product development and application, can carry out intelligent perception, intelligent analysis, intelligent prediction and intelligent decision-making on the production and operation of the iron area, which is the first case in the industry and the world.
Walking in the Shaogang steel factory area, the cold water tower with green environmental protection characteristics and the factory building with great modern wisdom suddenly entered the eye, surrounded by green grass and flowers. The old factory building is transformed into a graceful study room, and you can also come to a cup of coffee after studying. In the Shaogang Special Rolling Mill, from the heating furnace to the product collection area, there is no operation room on the whole line, and there is almost no worker walking around or operating on the spot in the workshop.
Qiu Wensheng said that it is precisely by relying on the intelligent manufacturing platform that the high third line of Shaogang Special Rolling Mill has achieved the least number of personnel and the highest efficiency, "smart manufacturing makes the working environment of our employees more relaxed", and accelerates the transformation from the traditional production-oriented factory to the modern park, so that the working environment of Shaogang employees is more beautiful and more comfortable.
The intelligent upgrading of Shaogang reflects the efforts of Shaoguan in recent years to comprehensively promote the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases and promote the upgrading of traditional industrial technology. At the beginning of 2021, Shaoguan City issued the implementation plan of the pilot project of "changing the factory area into a park and changing the production area into an urban area" for enterprises such as Shaoshan Steel and Shaoguan Smelter, accelerating the transformation of Shaogang and Shaoye from traditional production-oriented factories to modern parks, and becoming benchmark enterprises in the demonstration area of industrial transformation and upgrading.
It is understood that since the pilot program was issued and implemented, Shaogang and Shaoye two areas of investment has achieved results, nearly 40 enterprises have investment intentions, the support of higher-level departments has also been increasing, the first batch of special debt arrangements in 2021 100 million yuan to support two pilot infrastructure construction projects, the Provincial Party Committee Reform Office also listed it as a provincial reform pilot, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission also as a pilot of industrial transformation and upgrading to build.
Guo Xiangui, director of the Shaoguan Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, said that in the future, Shaoguan City will also improve the management system of the park, summarize the replicable and generalizable experience, guide the preparation and implementation of the second and third batches of pilot implementation plans for "factory area transformation park, production area into urban area", and strive to provide "Shaoguan Plan" for the national old industrial cities and resource-based cities to explore the integration and transformation and upgrading of "factory area - park - urban area".
Create a highland of technological innovation in non-ferrous metal recycling industry
Chai Liyuan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Dean of the School of Metallurgy and Environment of Central South University:
As we all know, non-ferrous metals are an important material basis for the development of the national economy and an important industrial industry for the country's "carbon peak and carbon neutrality". It is estimated that the recycling of important metal resources, such as recycled aluminum and recycled copper, can not only ensure the safety of resources of 30% to more than 50%, but also achieve more than 70% reduction in consumption and carbon reduction, which has an important supporting role in the national "double carbon" and resource security strategies.
Guangdong is the strongest economic province in China, especially in the electronic information and other industries developed, the output value of more than one trillion yuan. At present, these industries will produce more than 3 million tons of non-ferrous metal hazardous waste every year, due to the shortage of processing capacity in the province, mainly in Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces across provinces to transfer treatment, industrial development is facing heavy pressure on environmental protection. On the other hand, Shaoguan has a good industrial foundation to promote resource recycling. Shaoguan City has Shaoguan smelter, Danxia smelter and other large smelting enterprises, non-ferrous metal production perennial accounted for more than 60% of the province, the use of oxygen-enriched ISP lead and zinc smelting, oxygen pressure leaching zinc smelting, Kivset lead smelting and other international leading clean smelting technology, with the technical potential to absorb and treat electronic circuit boards, electroplating sludge, smelting waste residue and other non-ferrous metal secondary resources, become Guangdong Province non-ferrous resources recycling and hazardous solid waste treatment base, support the high-quality development of Guangdong Province's economy and ecology.
Around this goal, I suggest working from three aspects: First, the establishment of a major scientific and technological innovation platform. Led by the Shaoguan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, together with other prefectures and cities in Guangdong Province and the key domestic comedies, with the support of Guangdong Province, the Guangdong Provincial Laboratory for the Recycling of Nonferrous Metal Resources was established, and strived to become a national laboratory or a national key laboratory. The second is to lead enterprises to organize and undertake major scientific and technological projects. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the national key research and development plan will set up major projects for the circular economy. At the same time, the Shaoguan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government can organize major scientific and technological research with local enterprises as the main body through the form of "unveiling the leader" and give full play to the innovative role of enterprises. The third is to increase the training and introduction of talents. Establish strategic cooperation agreements with universities and scientific research institutions with high industrial relevance such as Central South University and University of Science and Technology Beijing, and provide talent guarantee for the innovation highland through various forms such as doctoral training in engineering, flexible introduction, and student employment.
