Cleaner Production Component ( Lot F)
The general objective of this programme is to assist Liaoning Province in its efforts to tackle the interrelated issues of pollution abatement, economic modernisation and social redeployment, the province of the North East of China currently faces. The broad aim of the Cleaner Production Component within this programme is to introduce the concepts and practices of Cleaner Production into factories within the province to support the goal of sound industrial development. In particular, the project will support the Liaoning Provincial Government in its effort to foster the idea of Cleaner Production. This resulted in a Liaoning Cleaner Production Action Plan (which is part of the 10 th Five-Year-Plan of the province), which stipulates the implementation of CP activities in 60% of all major polluting enterprises. Therefore, a specialised training programme was conducted to train Chinese experts and governmental officials in all 14 cities of the province.
With support of the project, the Liaoning Provincial Cleaner Production Centre (LNCPC) elaborated Cleaner Production National Technical Standards for different industrial sectors (such as chemical, petrochemical, iron and steel), which are published by the State Environmental Protection Administration as well as self-assessment guides, assisting enterprise staff to identify CP potentials.
As one important part of the Liaoning Cleaner Production Action Plan, the Liaoning Provincial Cleaner Production Revolving Fund is established. This funds consist of a commercial credit line (volume 180 million CNY, equivalent to 18 million euro), which provides loans to enterprises for implementing CP technologies (high cost CP options). Certain evaluation procedures have been established to select projects in a transparent matter and to ensure that these projects have the right demonstration character.
In addition, a training programme for the financial sector has been conducted to stimulate commercial banks investing in enterprise, which incorporated CP into their daily management. Specific trainings for enterprise staff are designed helping them to elaborate bankable investment proposals for CP projects.
