China News Service, Taiyuan, August 21 (Reporter Fan Lifang) As the "number one city" in Shanxi's industrial economy, how Luliang solves the problem of resource-based economic transformation has attracted much attention from the outside world. On the 21st, at the "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan" series of themed press conferences (special for Luliang City) held in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Xiong Yizhi, deputy secretary of the Luliang Municipal Party Committee and mayor, introduced the industrial transformation roadmap of this industrial town in the next five years using "four improvements" and "four expansions".
"Lüliang is a major industrial and economic city in the province, and industry is our greatest confidence and hardest foundation." Xiong Yizhi said that based on its resource endowment and industrial foundation, the local area continues to promote the upgrading of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries.
The "four improvements" are to promote the transformation and upgrading of the four pillar industries of coal, coke, steel, aluminum and wine in the direction of high-end, intelligent, green and integrated industries.
Luliang focuses on "coal science" articles, accelerating the high-value and material utilization of high-grade coal, extending the industrial chain of new carbon-based materials, and promoting the coal industry from low-end to high-end, and coal products from primary fuels to high-value products; the steel industry accelerates the "conversion from general to high-quality, high-quality to special", expands the path of intensive processing, and promotes the extension from single structural materials to multi-functional materials.
The aluminum industry adheres to walking on "two legs" of metallurgy and non-metallurgy, with the goal of building a 100-billion-level non-ferrous metal materials industry cluster; the liquor industry accelerates the in-depth integrated development of wine, culture and tourism, creates a liquor full-chain ecology, and strives to achieve revenue of the entire industry chain exceeding 100 billion yuan by the end of the "15th Five-Year Plan".
The "four expansions" focus on the four emerging industries of hydrogen energy, unconventional natural gas, helium and gallium metal to expand new development space.
In terms of hydrogen energy, Luliang will join the national fuel cell vehicle demonstration application city cluster in 2025, and the central annual reward funds received account for 8.5% of the national total, ranking third among the 39 demonstration cities in the country and first among prefecture-level cities. In the next step, we will advance three-dimensionally from the three dimensions of "hydrogen, energy, and vehicles" to accelerate the construction of a hydrogen "production, storage, transportation, utilization and research" industrial chain, a "wind, solar, thermal and hydrogen storage" multi-energy complementary comprehensive energy supply system, and a hydrogen-energy heavy truck complete vehicle and key parts industrial chain.
Unconventional natural gas insists on increasing reserves, production and consumption and utilization in a coordinated manner to open up the industrial chain.
Luliang has built a high-purity helium production capacity of 198,000 cubic meters. In the future, it will rely on the Helium Resource Evaluation and Comprehensive Utilization Laboratory of the China Geological Survey to build an important special gas industry base in the country.
In addition, Luliang's crude gallium production capacity accounts for 57% of the province's and nearly 1/6 of the country's. At present, gallium oxide semiconductor material projects have been introduced, and the "1+2" fourth-generation semiconductor material industry chain is being laid out.
