On September 23, at a press conference held by the Hubei Provincial Government Information Office, it was announced that, as part of an initiative to address critical gaps in the ecological and environmental landscape, the province will invest 141.3 billion yuan over the next three years to tackle the issue of “chemical industries encircling the river.”
According to the Hubei Daily, Hubei Province will implement a “shortcomings‑filling” initiative across five key areas: the collection and treatment of medical and hazardous waste; the closure, upgrading, relocation, or transformation of chemical enterprises along the Yangtze River; the improvement of rural living environments; the rectification of prominent ecological and environmental issues in the Yangtze Economic Belt; and the development of water‑environment infrastructure in priority river basins. A total of 419 projects have been planned, with combined investments amounting to RMB 174.4 billion.
In the area of medical and hazardous waste collection and treatment, Hubei Province plans to implement 23 major projects with a total investment of RMB 5.6 billion. By the end of 2022, the province will have established a relatively comprehensive system for the collection, transportation, disposal, and utilization of medical and hazardous wastes.
With regard to the closure, relocation, and transformation of chemical enterprises along the Yangtze River, Hubei Province plans to implement 257 major projects with a total investment of RMB 141.3 billion. By the end of this year, all chemical enterprises within the first kilometer of the riverbank will have been closed, relocated, or transformed; by December 31, 2022, the same measures will be extended to enterprises located between one and fifteen kilometers from the riverbank. By advancing the relocation and upgrading of these enterprises, the province aims to accelerate the high‑end transformation of its industrial structure and eliminate potential sources of pollution along the Yangtze.
In August this year, Hubei Province issued the “Three-Year Action Plan (2020–2022) for Hubei’s Post‑Epidemic Revitalization, Addressing Weaknesses and Strengthening Capabilities through the ‘Ten Major Projects,’” which focuses on ten key areas and strives to address shortcomings and enhance capabilities.
The plan proposes actively seeking approval to commence construction of the Hubei section of the Third West-to-East Gas Pipeline and advancing the interconnection and interoperability of natural gas pipelines. It also calls for completing the Jianli–Qianjiang crude oil pipeline and the Three Gorges dam‑crossing refined‑oil transportation pipeline project. Furthermore, it aims to coordinate and promote the intensive, large‑scale development and operation of gas storage facilities, strategically locating them along major trunk pipelines and along the Yangtze River. The goal is to establish a gas storage system centered on underground salt‑cavern storage facilities and medium‑to‑large LNG storage tanks, supplemented by smaller local emergency storage units. Priority will be given to building the Qianjiang underground salt‑cavern storage facility, LNG storage facilities in Wuhan’s Anshan and Baihushan, as well as in Huanggang and Yichang, and an LNG tank‑container base in Huangshi, thereby forming three major gas‑storage hubs in Qianjiang, Wuhan, and eastern Hubei.
The plan also calls for completing the closure, relocation, or transformation of chemical enterprises within the 1-kilometer zone along the river, and advancing similar measures in the 1–15-kilometer zone. It aims to establish a circular, full‑life‑cycle green industrial chain that achieves efficient resource utilization, closed‑loop recycling, and “zero emissions” of waste, thereby elevating the park’s level of green development. The plan further seeks to enhance the professionalism of park safety management, strengthen routine oversight, improve emergency response capabilities, and bolster the park’s intrinsic safety. An integrated information‑management platform for safety, environmental protection, emergency rescue, and public services will be established to build a smart park. High‑tech solutions will be promoted, clean‑production technology upgrades will be vigorously advanced, and the chemical industry chain will be extended toward higher value‑added segments.
