It is understood that the party's report on the Communist Party has made full arrangements for China's reform and opening up and socialist modernization. In the report, the strategy of the scientific outlook on development points the way for the sustainable development of the chlor-alkali industry.

The report pointed out that the scientific outlook on development is the guiding ideology that the party must adhere to for a long time. Implementing the scientific concept of development is of great significance for the development of the party and the country’s cause. The report's focus on ecology and environmental protection signals that our party has entered a new realm in understanding the laws of sustainable economic and social development, the law of sustainable use of natural resources, and the rules of ecological environmental protection. From the "four in one" to the "five in one," the *** report raised the construction of ecological civilization to a higher strategic level, reflecting the country's emphasis on environmental protection and comprehensive utilization of resources in the process of economic development. In addition, the report clearly proposes the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy, deepens the reform of the science and technology system, accelerates the construction of a national innovation system, and strives to build a technological innovation system that combines the enterprise as the main body, the market as the orientation, and the combination of production, study and research.

Chlor-alkali products, as the basic raw materials, are widely used in various industries such as agriculture, petrochemicals, light industry, military industry, etc., and play a decisive role. After experiencing rapid development in recent years, China has become a global chlor-alkali producer. At the same time, however, with the deepening of economic globalization, rapid advancement in science and technology, the constant acceleration of the adjustment of world chlor-alkali industry structure, and the intensification of market competition, the domestic chlor-alkali industry still has long-standing structural contradictions and constraints on resources and environmental protection. For a period of time in the future, the chlor-alkali industry must use the spirit of *** as a guide and focus on the following aspects to promote the scientific development and sustainable development of the industry.

The first is to optimize the layout of industrial regions and increase industrial concentration. We must take the scientific concept of development as a guide, implement total control, restrain the industry from inefficient, rapid, and disorderly expansion, advocate intensive and clustered development, cultivate and support competitive companies, and eliminate backwardness through mergers and acquisitions.

Improve the degree of industry concentration, improve the rationality of industrial layout, and then enhance the overall market competitiveness of the domestic industry. From the extensive development of simple expansion of production capacity to the transformation of refinement, high added value, resource conservation, and environment-friendly development.

The second is to promote cleaner production and strengthen environmental protection and safety management. Solidly promote the progress of industry technology, comprehensively improve energy-saving and emission-reduction capabilities, and realize industrial upgrading. Promote advanced and applicable clean production technologies, apply new energy-saving emission reduction technologies and equipment, and establish advanced technology demonstration projects. Responsible care is promoted throughout the industry to strengthen corporate safety and environmental protection, establish a strict management system, improve the ability to prevent and dispose of accidents, and further enrich and enhance the content and level of responsible care work in the chlor-alkali industry.

The third is to promote the sustainable development of the chlor-alkali industry with technological innovation and product innovation. Strengthen independent innovation, promote industrial technological progress, guide enterprises to adopt new technologies to achieve cleaner production, save energy and reduce emissions, strengthen domestic ion membranes, dry acetylene generation technology, new dry process cement manufacturing technologies, and promote the promotion of low-mercury catalysts in the whole industry, accelerate Research and development of new solid mercury catalysts and non-mercury catalysts, and vigorously promote the development and application of advanced technologies such as oxygen cathode technology for caustic soda membrane electrolyzers and new-type chlorine manufacturing technology, forming a batch of core technologies and equipment with independent intellectual property rights. Constantly develop high-value-added alkali- and chlorine-consuming products and develop refined, specialized and serialized PVC products to further broaden product applications. Encourage enterprises to apply new technologies, new processes, new equipment, new materials, and promote product innovation and upgrading.

In the next few years, the national economic development will enter an important strategic transition period, and the chlor-alkali industry will also gradually withdraw from the growth mode of simply pursuing scale expansion and enter a new historical development stage with the adjustment of industrial structure and the improvement of the quality of growth. In the important opportunity for the transformation and development of this industry, the domestic chlor-alkali industry can only promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, market-oriented optimization of product structure, improve the ability of technological innovation, adhere to conservation, clean development, and safe development, in order to truly achieve scale advantages. To transform into a competitive advantage and build a green industry that meets the requirements of sustainable development.
