The epoch-making revolution brought by a new Ordos storm has made the Ordos coal industry like a hidden dragon and completed a great transformation. Let's walk into this world-famous oasis of coal sea together, and interpret the spirit of Ordos in the new era that this heroic city is not afraid of pain, never looks back, and constantly pursues and perfects itself after experiencing the ordeal and painful test of fire. Pursuing the tragic and cruel road of innovation taken by the pioneers of China's coal industry reform ...
Life and death choice in the face of history
Li Shirong has reached the critical point where contradictions are on the verge of breaking out.
As the executor of the municipal government's decision-making, this tall and burly deputy mayor in charge of Ordos coal industry, who dares to take responsibility, is good at thinking and has pioneering and innovative ability, can't sleep well under pressure.
It seems that the spring of 2005 came very late, and the surging Yellow River began to enter the flood season again, standing on the hard loess embankment. The huge crackling sound of the ice flowing in the river hit his heart like a heavy hammer, which made the vice mayor, who was not afraid of hard work and was busy from morning till night every day, just drill out of the deep alley of a small coal mine, add some weight.
The mother river of the Chinese nation is holding this magical land of 87,000 square kilometers. With her broad mind, it is known as the birthplace of "Hetao culture". Ordos people who lit the fire of civilization along the Salawusu River seem to be quite blessed. The proven coal reserves exceed 65.438+0676 billion tons, and the estimated reserves are 65.438+0.6 trillion tons, accounting for about 654.38+0/6 of the national total reserves.
However, in the long historical years, the coal industry in Ordos developed slowly and gradually accumulated fatal weaknesses. Before 1998, under the policy background of "fast water flow" in the past, the peak number of small coal mines in Ordos exceeded 1900. By the beginning of 2005, there were still 552 local coal mines in Ordos. What worries Ordos policymakers in the fifth year of 2 1 century is that with the substantial increase of local coal production, in a sense, it is at the expense of resources and environment. At that time, the average recovery rate of local coal resources in the city was less than 30%, and the highest recovery rate in the thick coal seam area in the east was only 10%. The backward "room-and-pillar" technology has evolved into quick success and predatory mining, which not only can not guarantee the life of miners, but also seriously damages and wastes resources, seriously pollutes the environment and destroys the ecology. The city's underground roof area reached 20 million square meters, and the mine fire area reached 87.5 square kilometers. Land subsidence and a large number of toxic and harmful gas emissions endanger the sustainable development of the region, endanger the overall interests of society and trigger many social contradictions. Under the background of energy shortage and sustainable development, the problems of low coal recovery rate and waste of resources have reached the point where the state, society, public opinion, the masses and sustainable development are not allowed.
How can the decision-makers in Ordos not be anxious about all this?
What makes Li Shirong feel more anxious is that in the face of the call for the integration and closure of local coal mines to realize mechanization and regularization, there are not only doubts, but also controversies, and the social response is different. This led to the vacillation and hesitation of some people in the leadership.
I don't know how many nights are full of strong winds and stars. Looking at the quietly flowing Ulan Mulun River, Li Shirong thinks about the history and future of Ordos over and over again: coal is the most important energy resource in China, but small coal mines continue to develop with backward production methods? Or should we integrate resources, realize modern exploitation, organically combine national strategy with local interests, organically combine long-term interests with short-term interests, and bravely shoulder the political responsibility of a national civil servant?
"Without reform, there is no way out. It is time to reform the backward coal production mode!" This is the cry of the pioneers of Ordos reform after numerous setbacks!
Unexpectedly, an article by Xinhua News Agency entitled "Eating Cabbage to Earn Black Money" became the "eye of the storm" that triggered the coal storm in Ordos. The present situation of coal resource waste in Erdos is affecting the hearts of leaders of * * * and China, expressing great concern. Premier Li asked Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to give a clear answer. ...
It seems that thunder is born, and the so-called storm is coming!
It is urgent to open the curtain of Ordos coal industry revolution! It is urgent for China coal industry to implement "Phoenix Nirvana" for the first time! It is a new mission given to Ordos decision makers by history to embark on a road of sustainable development of China's coal industry!
Based on this sober understanding, the pioneers of Ordos coal industry have reached a * * * understanding: waiting is to close the door, waiting is to die!
On March 4th, 2005, Li Shirong, the vice mayor of this city, issued an inspiring voice on behalf of the municipal government: "Change pressure into motivation, change passive response into active attack, fight a tough battle for three years, and swear to the death to complete the major strategic mission of the country!"
However, there is still a difficult problem before the Ordos municipal government. The relevant state departments strictly order small coal mines to be closed before integration. The sword hangs high and the thunder pool crosses.
Close and then integrate, or integrate and then close? In the rumbling sound of blasting small coal mines in nearby areas, the two development ideas of Ordos policymakers collided fiercely in silence.
"It's better to lose the black veil than proceed from reality", only the producers in China have such courage and wisdom!
Opening the door of scientific rationality with the ideological weapon of seeking truth from facts is the fundamental way out for this plateau city with coal as its pillar industry! The life and death choices made by the decision-makers in Ordos are: integration before closing, scientific planning, government promotion, market operation, harmonious development, rolling forward, three years of tackling key problems, three improvements (improving coal recovery rate, local conversion rate and safety production level), and two changes (from a big coal city to a strong coal city, from extensive production to intensive production), thus breaking a unique road of coal industry reform and innovation. ...
However, the road ahead is full of mountains, and the owners who put down the sheep whip to open the coal mine are like babies to be fed. Where does the technical transformation fund come from? Where does the advanced technology come from? Where do professionals come from?
Faced with such a huge challenge, can the pioneers of Li Shirong and Erdos coal fronts win the "shocking the world" penalty victory?
To the delight of Du Zi, Yun Guangzhong, Li Shirong and other Ordos policymakers, Ordos is just in the connecting zone and transitional zone between the central and western regions, connecting the east and the west. It is not only the eastern bridgehead in the northwest, but also the powerful energy rear area in northeast, north and south China. Mongolia is not far to the north of Ordos, then Russia to the north, east longitude and north China, and Bohai Bay to South Korea and Japan, and then south to Southeast Asia and other places. Ordos can also transport a large amount of coal and coal chemical products to North China, East China, South China, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia through railways such as Daqin, Huang Shen, Baoxi, Taizhongyin and West-East Gas Pipeline. Its superior geographical position makes its coal industry play a decisive role in the whole country and even in the world.
The future development ideas and goals established by the decision-makers in Ordos are: controlling the total amount, optimizing the layout, developing in an orderly manner, adjusting the structure, improving the efficiency and benefiting the people. Establish the concept of "big coal, big economy and big market", take the road of "park-oriented, refined, clean and diversified", and make every effort to build three bases: coal production base, coal chemical production base and equipment manufacturing base, so as to make Ordos a clean energy capital. To this end, the coal industry will focus on the development of Shendong, Zhungeer, Wan Li, Talgaole, Xinjie, HuGilte and Shanghaimiao mining areas, and strive to build 1 100 million tons coal bases, two 50 million tons bases and five 1 100 million tons bases by the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan. In accordance with the integration, base, economy and scale, relying on a number of major projects with advanced international and domestic levels, and taking key industrial parks such as Dalu, Zhao Shulin, Qipanjing, Mengda, Meng Xi, Shagedu and Wulanmulun as carriers, we will develop the coal chemical industry with emphasis on oil substitution products, and strive to build five industrial chains: methanol-olefin industrial chain and methanol-carbon chemical industrial chain.
What a touching big industrial movement!
Ordos will surely become a "world-famous, domestic first-class" capital of energy and heavy chemical industry.
Ordos will surely become the "Silicon Valley" of global coal chemical industry.
