On February 28, the National Bureau of Statistics released the “Statistical Bulletin on National Economic and Social Development in 2017”. The output of chemical fertilizers (off 100%) dropped from 71.286 million tons in 2016 to 618.43 million tons in 2017, the lowest level since 2009 . This value allows the industry to realize that factors from both inside and outside the industry are making concerted efforts to promote the transformation of agriculture and the agricultural industry in China into a green one. “Chemical Fertilizer Industry Air Pollutant Emission Standards” (draft) has been completed, companies must follow the trend can not be hesitated.

Zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers in major crops and a substantial increase in the threshold of pollutant emissions have all contributed to the transformation process.

Prior to this, the country put forward the main crop fertilizer use in 2020 to achieve zero growth, is to promote the transformation and upgrading of fertilizer industry, the biggest force. Fertilizer industry realizes: Must formulate more scientific, more accurate application, improve utilization and so on force.

The decline of fertilizer production from the previous year is a direct result of the strengthening of environmental supervision and control, and the threshold of pollutant emission is constantly increasing. Starting from March 1, some industries such as the “2 + 26” cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution transmission channel and new boiler projects will implement the special air pollutant emission limits. Implementation of the industry increased the coking, cement, nonferrous metals, chemicals, pollutants, including particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other conventional pollutants and volatile organic compounds, heavy metals and other pollutants.

For the agricultural industry, not only the air pollutants have special emission limits, the “Thirteenth Five-Year” period there will be wastewater, solid emissions and other pollutant emission standards promulgated. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection’s “Thirteenth Five-Year” Development Plan for National Environmental Protection Standards and the List of Revised National Environmental Protection Standards for the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, the pollutant discharge (control) standards and engineering specifications to be developed from 2017 to 2019 In a number of involved in the agricultural industry, such as pesticide industrial water pollutant discharge standards, pesticide industrial air pollutant emission standards, chemical fertilizer industrial air pollutant discharge standards, inorganic phosphorus chemical industry pollutant discharge standards, municipal solid waste composting pollutant control standards And measurement methods, bio-organic composting pollution control standards, as well as nitrogen fertilizer industrial wastewater treatment engineering specifications, phosphate fertilizer industrial wastewater treatment engineering specifications, agricultural soil pollution control engineering specifications.

Entrusted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, China Phosphate Fertilizer Industry Association and China Chemical Mining Association have completed the preparation of “Emission Standard of Atmospheric Pollutants for Chemical Fertilizer Industry” (Draft for Comment) The standard will serve as an important basis for enterprises to apply for sewage permits, will have a greater impact on corporate emissions control work. It is reported that the current “Integrated Emission Standards for Air Pollutants” only limit emissions of particulate matter and fluoride, “Chemical Fertilizer Industry Air Pollutants Emission Standards” proposed to add nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, ammonia and other pollution factors, reflecting the emission limits The value is generally improved and strict, highlighting the characteristics of major pollutants.

Overcapacity in fertilizer industry and declining consumer demand situation is grim, enterprises should establish a comprehensive evaluation system of energy consumption, pollutant emissions as soon as possible.
