Abstract:
The National Total Emission Control (NTEC) Program continued to be implemented during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (FYP, 2011-2015) in China. Two major air pollutants (SO2 and NOX) are covered by the NTEC, of which NOX is a newly included pollutant under control. NTEC requires the total national NOX emission level reduce by 10% by 2015, based on that of 2010. Besides of coal-fired power plants and motor vehicles, cement production is the major source of NOX emission in China, it is necessary for the Chinese government to make economic policies, including to design and to implement a subsidy for denitrification to reduce NOX emission. This article details in NOX pollution situation in China, especially in the cement industry, and the meanings of denitrification subsidy for cement production. Marginal costs of NOX emission reduction in cement industry were calculated, based on survey data of investment and O&M costs of denitrification equipment in cement plants across China. The result shows that the marginal cost of NOX reduction in the cement plant is over 4 CNY/kg. Policy suggestions including setting up subsidy are given for the denitrification.
