Recently, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province issued the "Several Policy Measures to Support the Development of the Semi Coke and Magnesium Metal Industries" (hereinafter referred to as the "Policy Measures"), aiming to accelerate the high-end, intelligent, and green upgrading of related industries, and promote the high-quality development of the semi coke and magnesium deep processing industries.
The "Policy Measures" propose to guide the construction of key enterprises for the smelting of primary magnesium and magnesium alloys at scales of 100,000 mt, 200,000 mt, and 300,000 mt through industry consolidation and restructuring; to establish high-standard R&D institutions to promote the coupling development of production, education, and research; and to strive to build a new modern industrial cluster for semi coke and magnesium during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
The "Policy Measures" clarify the formulation and issuance of development plans and industry construction standards for the semi coke and magnesium industries, strengthen the standard system construction, and reward units that promote the revision and improvement of standards. Actively build industrial clusters, according to the idea of "differentiated development," layout magnesium and magnesium alloy deep processing and magnesium slag comprehensive utilization industries in Shenmu City and Fugu County, and layout downstream R&D and manufacturing industries for magnesium alloy products in the Yushen Industrial Zone and Yuheng Industrial Zone. Strengthen product research, support magnesium and magnesium alloy enterprises to collaborate with universities and research institutes to conduct basic research and application innovation, and reward technological processes that have won national science and technology awards and are applied in production in Yulin. Promote the intelligent construction of enterprises, support the upgrading of the magnesium enterprise industry chain and intelligent transformation, and reward provincial-level intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration enterprises and smart factories that have been recognized.
The "Policy Measures" emphasize accelerating the brand building of semi coke and magnesium products, creating regional public brands such as "Shenmu Semi Coke" and "Fugu Magnesium," and enhancing brand influence. Strictly implement various support policies, tilt in terms of financial support, financial assistance, and tax incentives, and establish a special fund of 100 million yuan annually for three consecutive years to promote related work. Subsidize enterprises that rent transit warehouses or off-site warehouses to store magnesium products, and subsidize enterprises that build, operate, or rent "overseas warehouses" or establish bonded warehouses in Yulin City to broaden sales channels.
The "Policy Measures" propose to accelerate the overcoming of clean and intelligent production challenges in magnesium smelting processes. Accelerate the technical research of vertical retort smelting projects, optimize process flows, reduce production costs, fully learn from domestic and overseas advanced automation transformation cases, accelerate the development of intelligent feeding, slag removal, and slag transportation equipment for magnesium smelting reduction furnace workshops, and vigorously promote intelligent and informatization transformations. Reward enterprises that have won national science and technology awards and have actually applied the technological processes in Yulin; support enterprises to carry out water-saving and energy-saving process technological transformations, and reward enterprises with continuously declining energy consumption levels; encourage enterprises to adopt advanced energy-saving technologies, and reward enterprises that meet emission standards.
