Environmental storm swept the battery industry lead-acid battery company encountered life and death robbery

According to Voice of China’s “Yangguang News” report, in the recent rectification of lead battery companies, nearly 1,600 lead storage battery companies across the country have been banned from production or stopped for rectification. The Ministry of Environmental Protection said that the rectification work has achieved remarkable results. However, some companies and industry experts said that the impact of this rectification is too broad and will have an adverse impact on the development of lead battery industry.

According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, as of the end of July, of the 1,930 lead battery manufacturing, assembly, and recycling companies that had been spotted around the country, 583 had been shut down, 405 were suspended from production, and 610 were discontinued. The Ministry of Environmental Protection believes that "restructuring efforts are unprecedented." In the rectification, a comprehensive monitoring was conducted on lead storage battery companies and a total of 2693 wastewater and exhaust outlets were monitored for 462 enterprises in the second quarter of 2011. The enterprises that exceeded the standards were found to have further stopped production. Measures.

Environmental protection has also recovered the approval authority for environmental impact assessment of construction projects for lead battery manufacturers of most provincial environmental protection agencies. All projects involving new, modified and expanded heavy metals in Henan province have been approved by provincial environmental protection agencies. However, some representatives of relevant companies in Zhejiang rectified this. They thought that the practice of shutting down most enterprises in Zhejiang and Guangdong was arbitrary and should be treated differently. The problem was that the supervision of the department was not effective, and that the formal and legitimate national enterprises were not closed down. objective.

At present, there are more than 3,000 lead-acid battery manufacturers in China, but only 1,100 companies that have actually received production licenses issued by the state, and more than 60% of the companies have not obtained permits and cannot meet environmental protection requirements. Over the years, the lead-acid battery industry has blossomed, and it has not standardized development. The behind-the-scenes handicrafts are attractive corporate profits and taxes, which are the growth of local GDP. As a result, local governments often hold the policy of appeasement and even deliberately condone. For this rectification, some business people said that their own business procedures are complete production specifications, are preparing to expand the scale, but after the reorganization, the new production capacity had to stop. This one-size-fits-all approach is that they have huge losses.

Chen Liquan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Chen Hongyuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, are also “respective” for the lead storage battery itself: as an energy product with a renewable rate of 95% or more, its safety, stability, and reproducibility are unmatched by other battery products. The pollution caused by lead batteries is not in the use of battery cars, but in production and recycling. Many large companies have established recycling systems, but they lack recycling channels. At present, the recovery of small traders, experts pointed out that the supervision of recycling should be increased.

In fact, from the perspective of industry alone, a large number of small and medium-sized lead-acid battery companies have been shut down, which is not necessarily a good thing. Many industry experts have pointed out that lead-acid batteries are unremarkable new energy sources and cannot represent the future of the battery industry. Given the hidden dangers of this industry in terms of pollution, we should encourage more technological innovation and merger and reorganization in view of trends. It is also a good option to eliminate a large number of non-standard enterprises and leave consolidation opportunities for serious and responsible enterprises.
