The price of natural gas has changed to the pressure of rising ceramic enterprises

The National Development and Reform Commission announced on June 28 that it will raise the price of non-resident natural gas from July 10. After the adjustment, the national average door station price increased from 1.69 yuan per cubic meter to 1.95 yuan per cubic meter. In the past two years, natural gas has become the first production fuel in most of China's producing areas, and accounts for 45% of the total production cost. According to the industry's core, the price increase of this natural gas will increase the cost of each kiln by several million per year, which will make the originally lean ceramic enterprises fall into a deeper predicament.

Tao enterprise hopes that "qi" is deterred

"To pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection, we must also take into account the pressure of enterprises." Recently, Hu Jiangwei, director of the Jiangxi Ceramic Industry Base Management Committee, is under great pressure. At present, in the area under his jurisdiction, there are only 14 ceramic enterprises such as Jiangxi Xinmingzhu and Jiangxi Weichen. Seven production lines are using natural gas, with an average daily consumption of 200,000 cubic meters. At the same time, he is also trying to find ways to lobby other companies to join the ranks of cleaner production. However, since the National Natural Development and Reform Commission's natural gas price reform plan was put on July 10, the problem has come.

Natural gas prices have changed to the ground

The price of natural gas has changed to the pressure of rising ceramic enterprises

On July 10, in order to alleviate the tight supply and demand situation of China's natural gas and deepen the marketization of natural gas prices, the National Development and Reform Commission officially raised the price of non-resident natural gas. After adjustment, the national average price per cubic meter will increase from 1.69 yuan to 1.95 yuan, with a range of 15%. The price reform standard clearly divides natural gas into two parts: the stock gas and the incremental gas. The former price increase per cubic meter is not more than 0.4 yuan, and the gas volume index is 112 billion cubic meters (that is, the actual amount of natural gas used in the previous year); The price is determined at 85% of the price of alternative energy (fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas), which may be estimated to be 11 billion cubic meters.

Gas prices in various regions can be determined through negotiation between the supply and demand sides within the limits of the state. The Gaoan government plans to raise the price of natural gas by one yuan per cubic meter, which means that the 14 companies will each share more than 5 million yuan in new production costs each year, but even so, they can only adhere to environmental protection. . At the same time, because of this "increasingly high" cost, those companies that have not yet participated in cleaner production will return to the wait-and-see state.

According to a survey conducted by local reporters, the price adjustment of natural gas prices varies from place to place. The impact of different types of products varies from company to company. For example, in Changge, Henan, which has more than 120 production kiln, the price of natural gas has only increased by 0.4 yuan. In the Jinjiang production area, 172 ceramic enterprises are using natural gas, of which 64 are all converted to natural gas. The household part is converted to natural gas, with an average daily consumption of 1.5 million cubic meters. According to industry insiders, if the natural gas price increase is carried out according to the maximum price limit of the stock price in this price adjustment plan, the average annual output of each enterprise in Jinjiang area will increase by 1.28 million yuan; in Zibo, Shandong, the impact on enterprises is relatively small. Because there are not many companies that use natural gas in the production area, and Asia is one of them.

However, enterprises generally believe that due to the impact of the country's macro-economy, the ceramic sanitary ware market continues to shrink, and various operating costs are rising. The Jianwei pottery industry is already operating at a low profit. Even if the product is overpriced at the terminal, it is only the factory. For the next 400 yuan, the cost that can ultimately be reserved for production costs is not much. Under this circumstance, the implementation of natural gas price increase will undoubtedly force enterprises to reduce the use of natural gas. If new energy is invested, the company will face the crisis of survival.

Self-training internal power evasion effect

Natural gas, which is considered to be the least polluting to the environment, has been highly praised by local governments in the past two years. More and more ceramic enterprises in China have begun to phase out traditional fuels such as heavy oil and water gas, and embarked on this road of clean and energy-saving production. . Natural gas has become a hard cost for enterprise production.

As a clean energy source and high calorific value fuel, natural gas has great advantages in energy saving and emission reduction. It can solve the problem of pollution emission of sulfur dioxide and phenol water, tar treatment, smoke and dust in the production process, and can solve pipeline gas supply and coal transportation. And the safety hazard of the gas generator. At the same time, his heat supply is stable, the quality of the fired product is better than that of the coal-fired kiln, and the energy efficiency is greatly improved in production. However, because of the use of natural gas for production, the cost will be higher than that of traditional fuels.

"China is different from European and American countries. Most of their interior wall tiles are burnt once, and the raw materials are saved in half. The tiles are mostly red embryos, and the firing temperature is about 100 degrees Celsius lower than that of Chinese tiles. Even in China, even in China. It is the same equipment, and the energy consumption is much higher than that in Europe and America.” Han Fuxing, technical director of Henan Xinyang Kemei Ceramics Co., Ltd., believes that among the production cost components of the enterprise, fuel costs account for about 45%, and electricity costs account for about 15%. Raw material costs account for about 15%. What kind of fuel production and changes in fuel prices will have a serious impact on the production costs of enterprises.

The sharp rise in natural gas prices will discourage some companies that want to “coal to gas”. However, under the more stringent environmental protection measures, “coal to gas” is also the only way for enterprises to develop. In order to avoid the more impact of the natural gas price reform, some insiders believe that enterprises must “work hard and do their best”: First, we must start from the refined management of production links, improve fuel utilization and reduce waste; It is necessary to increase the added value of products and increase the profit margin of enterprises.

Han Fuxing said that it is only possible to solve these problems by relying on innovation and taking the road of differentiated development. (Taocheng Daily)
