East China’s Jiangsu province has stepped up the construction of major investment projects and ensured their smooth progress through every possible effort so as to fulfill goals for social and economic development set forth in this year’s government work report.
On October 20th, Changshu put into production a new energy-saving building materials project, the provincial key annual project of organic waste treatment around the Taihu Lake. Four highly automated production lines will be built to boost annual sludge treatment capacity of more than 1.8 million tons.
In the first phase of the project, 65 million yuan will be invested to build an intelligent production line to achieve an annual output value of about 200 million yuan and an annual tax payment of 15 million yuan.
“Compared with traditional landfill methods, we can save approximately 23 thousand square meters of land per year. Compared with traditional sintering methods, we can save approximately 85 thousand tons of standard coal and reduce 230 thousand tons of carbon emissions”, Huang Xiaohui, Chairman of Huasheng (Suzhou) Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., said.
The environmentally-friendly, energy-saving, and non-fired brick making technology produces a new type of energy-saving building material with excellent characteristics such as non-sintering and strong insulation performance. This project adopts highly automated and modular production equipment with independent intellectual property rights, making the manufacturing process efficient, energy-saving, and zero carbon emissions, providing more and better solutions for the disposal of waste resources in Changshu and even a wider scale.
From October 21st to 22nd, Huai'an held its third major industrial project promotion event in 2023, with 58 industrial project construction in full swing.
The Zenith Steel Huai'an Steel Cord Project is the first provincial-level major project in Huai'an with a single investment of over 20 billion yuan. With hundreds of large mechanical equipment roaring, tower cranes were busy transporting construction materials, and thousands of construction workers were busy working.
“Our first phase factory has been fully put into operation and it is expected that 12 lines will reach full production by the end of this year”, Wan Wenhua, Executive Vice General Manager of Zenith Iron and Steel Group (Huai'an) New Materials Co., Ltd., said.
“In the next step, we will continue to focus on providing assistance throughout the entire project construction process and throughout the entire period, helping enterprises solve difficulties and problems as soon as possible, and helping the project to be completed and put into operation as soon as possible”, Zhu Xiaohan, Coordinator of Investment Promotion Bureau of Huai'an Economic Development Zone, said.
From January to September, Huai'an completed 79.8 billion yuan of industrial investment above designated size, a year-on-year increase of 17.1%. the city also signed contracts for 716 projects with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and started or completed 295 and 183 industrial projects with an investment of over 100 million yuan. 142.186 billion yuan had been spent on 392 major industrial projects.
