The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is an international trade and investment mechanism that can not only achieve the purpose of protecting the environment, but also play a role in energy saving, emission reduction and consumption reduction. In today's skyrocketing energy prices, CDM projects can reduce production costs and increase product competitiveness. More importantly, companies can provide additional economic benefits if they can run CDM projects more scientifically and scientifically. However, due to the complexity of the operation of the CDM project, various unforeseen problems are encountered in the operation process, and it takes a long time to obtain good returns. Therefore, for developing countries, the CDM project cannot be eager to achieve success.
At present, the domestic chlor-alkali industry carries out CDM projects. The main problems are as follows:
First, the domestic production methods of chlor-alkali enterprises are mainly based on the calcium carbide method. Cement carbide calcium slag cement is one of the main methods for domestic chlor-alkali enterprises to achieve CDM projects. However, calcium carbide slag cement has only been widely developed in China in recent years. It will take some time to realize CDM projects through this method.
Second, the six types of greenhouse gases specified in the Kyoto Protocol are CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6. Only emission reduction projects that target these six types of greenhouse gases can become CDM projects. According to relevant policies and regulations, international carbon trading is calculated using carbon dioxide, and the rest of the gas is calculated by multiplying the greenhouse effect by several times that of carbon dioxide. In the process of calcium carbide slag cement production related to the chlor-alkali project, calcium hydroxide is directly obtained through calcium carbide slag in the cement production process, thereby avoiding the production of carbon dioxide gas during the production process and reducing the total carbon dioxide emission. However, the gas has the lowest effect per unit volume of gas greenhouses among the six gases, which makes the entire transaction process less profitable and not suitable for the development of early-stage enterprises.
Third, there are still many problems in the domestic study of CDM projects. Such as the pricing of CERs, the method of determining the baseline of the CDM project, the mode of operation, procedures and procedures of the CDM project funds, the relevant technology transfer methods and approaches, and the approval and specific verification methods of international CDM projects. At the same time, domestic relevant personnel still lack practical experience and there are still many problems in the actual operation process, which is not conducive to CDM project companies dealing with trade disputes in the international carbon trading process and protecting corporate rights.
It can be seen that China's chlor-alkali industry is still in the stage of development adjustment, and most companies still do not have the overall strength to successfully operate CDM projects. At present, China's chlor-alkali industry is engaged in a small number of CDM projects. Representative enterprises are Zhejiang Juhua and Shouguang Xinlong Electrification. Juhua started CDM projects for fluorine chemicals as early as 2004, and completed and put into operation in August 2006. Shandong Shouguang Xinlong Electrochemical Group CDM project uses dry acetylene carbide slag to produce cement.
For the domestic chlor-alkali industry, the priority is not to build a number of CDM projects, but to gradually absorb the experience of foreign CDM projects during the development of the industry, introduce and absorb advanced operating methods from abroad, and constantly strengthen the strength of the company and the entire industry. On this basis, in-depth study of CDM projects, find a suitable CDM project for China's chlor-alkali industry development, in order to help chlor-alkali enterprises achieve lower emissions of greenhouse gas emissions, and bring additional benefits to the company. This will help chlor-alkali enterprises in the new period of development out of a green energy-saving and efficiency win-win road.
