Interpretation of the “Implementation Plan for Promoting Efficient and High-value Utilization of Phosphorus Resources”

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Efficient and High-value Utilization of Phosphorus Resources" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan"). In order to do a good job in the implementation of the "implementation program" implementation, is now on the content of the following interpretation.

I. What is the background of the "implementation program"?

Phosphorus ore is a strategic non-metallic mineral resources, phosphorus chemical industry is an important part of China's chemical industry, phosphorus chemicals is related to food security, life and health, new energy and new energy vehicles and other important industrial chain supply chain security and stability of important products. In recent years, relying on China's relatively rich phosphate resources and perfect industrial foundation, the phosphorus chemical industry has made great progress: 

First, the industry is a global leader in terms of scale, is the world's largest producer of phosphorus ores, phosphorus chemicals.

Second, the industrial system is more complete, the formation of phosphorus mining, yellow phosphorus, phosphoric acid, phosphate, phosphide series of products, such as production of a complete industrial chain.

Third, intensive development has a better foundation, phosphorus resource mining, yellow phosphorus and phosphate fertilizer production, and the production of phosphorus, phosphorus and phosphorus. Mining, yellow phosphorus and phosphate fertilizer production are mainly concentrated in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces, the formation of Yunnan Anning Industrial Park, chemical park in the economic development zone of urnan, Hubei Yidu Chemical Park, Mianzhu Xinshi Chemical Park and a number of other characteristics of the phosphorus chemical industry parks. 

But also facing the low level of comprehensive utilization of phosphorus ore, sustainable resource security capacity is not strong, the pressure of green development of phosphorus chemical industry, phosphorus chemical supply structural contradictions, restricting the high-quality development of the industry. 

The introduction of the "Implementation Plan" is aimed at strengthening the overall planning of the whole industrial chain based on China's national conditions, guiding the phosphorus chemical industry to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the phosphorus resources to enhance the ability to sustainably safeguard the phosphorus resources and the level of high-efficiency and high-value utilization, and to achieve high-quality development.

II. What is the overall consideration of the Implementation Program?

The Implementation Program resolutely implement the CPC Central Committee, the State Council major decisions and deployments. First, a clear functional positioning, aimed at refining the implementation of relevant planning policy requirements. Focusing on the national "14th Five-Year Plan" and 2035 Vision Outline, as well as relevant industry planning, special planning and guidance and other specific requirements, to strengthen the protective exploitation of phosphorus resources, phosphorus chemical industry innovation and development of systematic planning and top-level design, quantitative goals, path initiatives and key projects. Secondly, focus on the industry to implement policies and strengthen the foundation of sustainable development. Taking the security of food, energy resources and important industrial chain supply chain as the bottom line, we will scientifically regulate the development intensity of phosphorus ore, strictly control the new production capacity of ammonium phosphate and yellow phosphorus, guarantee the production and supply of phosphorus fertilizer, transform and upgrade the traditional industries, vigorously develop high-end phosphorus-containing chemicals, and promote the whole industrial chain to refinement and high-end leaping. Thirdly, it insists on coupling and synergy to optimize industrial development ecology.
