Vigorously promoting the reduction of NOx and VOCs emissions, the Guangdong Province Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality (Draft for Comments) has been publicly announced on the website of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment.

Recently, the "Guangdong Province Air Quality Continuous Improvement Action Plan (Draft for Comments)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan") was publicly announced on the website of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment.

The Action Plan points out that the key areas are the core areas of the Pearl River Delta such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, and Qingyuan City, excluding Longmen County in Huizhou, Guangning County, Deqing County, Fengkai County, Huaiji County in Zhaoqing City, and mountainous counties such as Lianshan, Liannan, Lianzhou, and Yangshan in Qingyuan City.

The Action Plan specifies that the work goal is to control the annual average concentration of PM2.5 in the province below 22 micrograms/cubic meter by 2025, and basically eliminate heavy pollution weather; The total emissions of major air pollutants continue to decline, achieving the national emission reduction targets for NOx and VOCs. The annual average value of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Guangzhou and Foshan is controlled below 30 micrograms per cubic meter, while in other prefecture level and above cities, it is controlled below 25 micrograms per cubic meter.

The Action Plan focuses on improving air quality and addressing prominent atmospheric environmental issues around the people. It proposes six major actions to strengthen governance capabilities and system construction, along with supporting measures, totaling 33 tasks.

The first action is to optimize the industrial structure and implement the green and low-carbon transformation of industries. We will mainly carry out four aspects of work. Firstly, clarify the requirements for total substitution and energy consumption of construction projects, and strictly enforce the admission of new construction projects; The second is to implement measures such as implementing the guidance catalog for industrial structure adjustment to upgrade and transform existing production capacity; The third is to rectify and enhance the gas industry cluster, and coordinate the planning and construction of "Green Island" projects; The fourth is to promote the healthy development of the green environmental protection industry.

The second action is to optimize the energy structure and implement the action of clean, low-carbon, and efficient energy development. We will mainly carry out three aspects of work, with a focus on developing and using clean and low-carbon energy, strictly and reasonably controlling coal consumption, and reducing industrial coal consumption.

The third action is to optimize the transportation structure and implement the construction of a green and low-carbon transportation system. We will mainly carry out five aspects of work. Firstly, optimize and adjust the structure of passenger and freight transportation, and promote the shift of road transportation to railways and waterways; The second is to promote the use of clean and low-carbon transportation and operation tools, develop zero emission freight fleets, and explore the promotion of zero carbon emissions in port terminals; Thirdly, organize and carry out special rectification work in the refined oil industry to comprehensively ensure the quality of oil products; The fourth is to strictly control motor vehicle emissions with a focus on diesel vehicles; The fifth is to strengthen the comprehensive management of non road mobile machinery and basically eliminate the phenomenon of "black smoke".

The fourth action is to strengthen the reduction of multiple pollutants and implement actions to improve quality, efficiency, and reduce emission intensity. We will mainly carry out four aspects of work: firstly, orderly carry out ultra-low emission transformation in the steel and cement industries; The second is to promote the upgrading and renovation of industrial boilers and furnaces; Thirdly, fully implement the source substitution of low VOCs content raw and auxiliary materials; The fourth is to implement deep governance in key areas related to VOCs, carry out special rectification of volatile organic liquid storage tanks, hierarchical control of VOC related enterprises, and inspection and rectification of inefficient and ineffective VOC governance facilities.

The fifth action is to strengthen the prevention and control of non-point source pollution and implement refined comprehensive governance actions. The main focus is to strengthen the management of dust pollution, comprehensive utilization of straw, and prohibition of burning, as well as to strengthen the treatment of catering fumes and odors.

The Action Plan proposes to strictly manage the layout of catering service units near residential buildings, and prohibit market entity registration for catering service projects that are clearly prohibited by law. Each city at or above the local level shall designate and issue a notice prohibiting outdoor barbecue areas. Catering service units that produce oil fumes shall use efficient oil fume purification facilities, and buildings that plan to provide catering services shall design and construct dedicated flues. Third party operation and maintenance management and operation status monitoring of governance facilities shall be implemented in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other areas with conditions. Strengthen the investigation and rectification of the problem of strong odor and disturbance from the public, and install and operate online monitoring systems in industrial parks and key enterprises with concentrated complaints. Strengthen departmental coordination and tailor measures to local conditions to address the problem of concentrated oil fumes and foul odors that the people have complained about.

The sixth action: "Strengthen prevention and control of heavy pollution, and implement joint prevention and control actions for air pollution during key periods.". We will mainly carry out three aspects of work: first, strengthen the monitoring and early warning capabilities of the atmospheric environment; second, improve the regional joint prevention and control mechanism, and deepen cooperation in air pollution prevention and control in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area; The third is to optimize pollution response mechanisms and measures, and strengthen pollution weather prevention and control. In terms of "improving the system of regulations and standards, and improving economic policies for air pollution control," it is proposed to promote the revision of relevant regulations and standards, and improve policy incentives such as incentives, pricing, and financial support.
