Large-scale environmental protection equipment needs a breakthrough
China's environmental protection machinery and equipment industry has made significant progress in areas such as atmospheric treatment, urban sewage, industrial wastewater, and solid waste management. However, compared to the advanced level of foreign industries, large-scale environmental protection equipment still lags behind. Guo Baolin, vice president of the China Environmental Protection Machinery Industry Association, pointed out that while the sector is growing, the real challenge lies in institutional backwardness and a lack of innovation. He emphasized that the development of this industry can drive related sectors like general machinery, instrumentation, chemical engineering, information technology, and biotechnology.
Experts agree that with strong government support, there is immense potential for growth in China’s environmental protection machinery industry. They suggest that companies should focus on absorbing and re-innovating existing technologies to accelerate the development of key large-scale equipment. The State Council issued a significant decision in 2005 titled "On Implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development and Strengthening Environmental Protection," which laid out a comprehensive plan for environmental protection over the next 15 years. This document highlights priorities such as water safety, pollution control, and air quality improvement.
Guo Baolin noted that the decision calls for the development of independent intellectual property rights in critical environmental technologies. He stressed that the gap between China and developed countries isn't in manufacturing alone, but in process integration and technological concepts. For instance, wastewater treatment is viewed as a resource in many foreign countries, while China still lacks integrated solutions.
He also highlighted that desulfurization equipment for large power plants remains heavily reliant on foreign technology, which is a major constraint on the industry. While domestic alternatives are available, they often fall short in performance and innovation. Experts argue that investing in local technology not only saves money but also boosts domestic enterprises.
Currently, the Chinese environmental industry is still in a disorganized state, lacking the innovation-driven structure seen in developed nations. To catch up, experts recommend strengthening the innovation system, enhancing enterprise R&D capabilities, and promoting collaboration between industry, academia, and research institutions. By focusing on key areas and making strategic investments, China can bridge the technological gap and build a more competitive and sustainable environmental protection machinery industry.
