In Lingwu City, Yinchuan, Ningxia, Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base (hereinafter referred to as Ningdong), there are towering giant installations. Since the beginning of this year, Ningdong has made new progress in major construction projects, new industrial projects, and industrial projects put into operation.
Looking at the data, the GDP of Ningdong in the first quarter exceeded 14.9 billion yuan, an increase of 11.4%, an increase of 7.9 percentage points year-on-year; the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 13.2%, an increase of 9.6 percentage points year-on-year.
Looking at the situation, the economy is making steady progress, the accumulation of new kinetic energy is accelerating, and the adjustment of industrial structure is accelerating.
In the first year, we will achieve a steady start and a good start. An energy and chemical industry development zone located in the western region, full of vigor and strong momentum of development.
In July 2016, when inspecting the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base, General Secretary Xi Jinping was full of affection, "I am also very excited", and sighed that "socialism is done."
At the end of 2016, the Shenhua Ningxia Coal-to-Liquid Demonstration Project was completed and put into operation. General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions to encourage "continuously expand my country's technological and industrial advantages in the field of coal processing and transformation, and accelerate the revolution in energy production and consumption."
As a national large-scale coal base of 100 million tons and a national demonstration zone of modern coal chemical industry, the initial impression of Ningdong is "black". However, approaching Ning Dong, it is unexpected——
Exquisite perfumes, sound-proof and flame-retardant materials on high-speed rail, car bumpers... Some of the raw materials for these high value-added products are all obtained from coal.
The key is technological innovation, which is the mystery of Ningdong's transformation from "relying on coal to eat coal" to "turning coal into gold".
"Technology cannot be controlled by others, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable!" Jiang Maozhong, chairman of Ningxia Taihe Aramid Fiber Co., Ltd., was deeply moved when talking about technological innovation.
On New Year's Eve in 2019, a foreign equipment supplier called and said that they could no longer supply the equipment, which made the person in charge of the company "shocked into a cold sweat".
Since then, Taihe Aramid has made great efforts to innovate independently and jointly tackle key problems with domestic suppliers. It took only three years to make up for the technical shortcomings in related fields.
Innovation has become the gene of Ningdong.
From the introduction of the "20 Measures" for scientific and technological innovation, to the vigorous promotion of the modern coal chemical industry pilot test base, Ningdong speaks with action in terms of innovation. In 2022, Ningdong's social R&D expenditure will increase by 23% compared with the previous year, and the proportion of enterprises above the designated size with R&D activities will reach 55%.
Focus on the entire chain of the modern coal chemical industry, take innovation as the first driving force, and maximize the value of the "black gold" of coal. But Ning Dong went one step further, determined to turn "black" into "green".
"General enterprises only dispose of hazardous waste, but we use technical means to separate and react hazardous waste to obtain new products, which is equivalent to turning waste into treasure." Liu Zhiqiang, deputy general manager of Ningxia Ruiyuan Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., said to the enterprise We are full of confidence in the recycling of hazardous waste.
Guided by the concept of green development, Ningdong is also at the forefront in terms of enterprise circular production, industrial circular combination, and park circular development.
Deeply cultivate the stock and expand the increment. To promote the green transformation of modern coal chemical industry, Ningdong people set their sights on hydrogen energy.
Solar water electrolysis hydrogen plant, hydrogen vehicles... In Ningdong today, hydrogen has become the "second fuel" and "second raw material" besides coal.
A road of complementary and integrated development of modern coal chemical industry and clean energy industry is slowly rolling out, presenting new opportunities.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Always use the internal unity of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing to grasp, measure, and promote development." Ningdong has made good use of the baton of the new development concept to open up a new space for development.
In the first quarter of this year, there were 7 new industrial enterprises above the designated size, and the total number exceeded 100; the energy consumption per unit of GDP dropped by 9.6%, which was an increase of 7.7 percentage points year-on-year. Amazing.
From "silly, black and rough" to "high-precision, special-new", Ningdong has turned wonderfully!
Only by laying a solid foundation for green development can the "red" last.
A company wants to build a large project in Ningdong with a large output value, but it consumes almost half of Ningdong's electricity consumption. "This account is not worthwhile", Ningdong people can keep it.
"The quality is not high, the benefit is not good, I would rather not." The "picky" and "stubborn" of Ningdong people have achieved a more optimized industrial structure.
First, Taihe New Materials invested in the industrial chain to build a factory, and then a foreign company invested three times to build a world-class spandex production base, and another foreign company built a differentiated spandex project with an annual output of 108,000 tons, and "China Spandex Valley" came into being. ... Today in Ningdong, the construction of large projects is accelerated, good companies are constantly entering, and the industrial chain is deepening and extending.
"During the 'Eleventh Five-Year Plan' period, coal accounted for about 70% of the entire industry, and chemical industry was very little; by last year, chemical industry was close to 60%." Talking about the changes in the industrial structure, Tian Yanhu, director of the Economic Development Bureau of Ningdong Management Committee full of pride.
In 2022, Ningdong was evaluated by the four ministries and commissions as an excellent construction of the national industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration zone.
To achieve higher quality, better efficiency, and better structure, Ningdong is promoting the continuous extension of the industrial chain and value chain to the high end by supplementing the chain of short-board industries, extending the chain of advantageous industries, upgrading the chain of traditional industries, and building chains of emerging industries.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "It is necessary to better coordinate the effective improvement of quality and the reasonable growth of quantity." Ningdong adheres to the principle of quality first and benefit first, and has accumulated the stamina of development.
Develop a topic and make a fuss about reform.
Ningdong's "red" is also reflected in the dividends released by the reform.
Researching in Ningdong, I feel that the reforms here can always be one step ahead, faster than others, and better than others.
"For enterprises and the public, the key demand for service is convenience and quickness. If you can do it without meeting, you can do it in person. If you can do it immediately, you can do it immediately. If you can do it nearby, you can do it nearby." Ningdong Management Committee Government Affairs Service Yang Kefeng, director of the center, said.
Taking the reform of "decentralization, management and service" as a catalyst to stimulate the vitality of business entities, and taking the business environment as a support point for project construction, Ningdong continued to optimize government services, and its corporate satisfaction ranked first in Ningxia for three consecutive years.
"The management committee set up a special class for us, from entering the park to go through various procedures, to having a pit on the road, raw materials not coming in, and the wires not being pulled to the construction site. As long as you raise a big or small matter, the relevant person in charge will be on the spot. Give it a solution." Zhao Weijia, the director of a company, talked about "Ningdong speed" and "Ningdong efficiency", full of praise.
It took only 280 days for the first phase of the project from the start of construction to the commissioning of production, setting a new record for the fastest construction of the spandex industry, and becoming a vivid footnote of Ningdong's deepening of the reform of "decentralization, management and service".
Deeply promote the reform of "decentralization, management and service", and solidly promote the reform of "six rights" such as pollution discharge rights, energy use rights, and carbon emission rights... Ningdong insists on reform and empowerment, and constantly injects new vitality into development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "Promote quality change with efficiency change and power change". Ningdong unswervingly deepened reform and opening up, deeply changed the development mode, and won the development initiative.
After twenty years, Fenji set off again. Ningdong is aiming at promoting the high-quality development of the national energy base, taking "second entrepreneurship" as the starting point, aiming at "high-end, green, intelligent, and integrated" industries, and striving to build "one base" and "five Demonstration Area".
"The great call of 'socialism is achieved' issued by General Secretary Xi Jinping is our precious spiritual wealth. Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base should be a pioneer in practice, keep in mind that happiness comes from struggle, establish a sense of striving to be the first, and strive to implement Create more models and make more demonstrations in terms of the 'dual carbon' strategy, ensuring national energy security, innovation-driven development, and clean coal utilization." The comrade in charge of the party committee of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region said.
