Foshan Jiantuo's "coal-to-gas" transformation has been completed, or it may completely switch to natural gas in April
It is understood that as of the end of 2020, Foshan City has included 57 companies in the clean energy transformation task, and among the 332 kiln production lines (including architectural ceramics, sanitary ceramics, artistic daily ceramics, etc.), 49 are in production and have been shut down. Of the 8 companies, 239 have been renovated and passed acceptance inspection, 30 have been decommissioned, and 63 have been dismantled. All renovation tasks have been completed. Although the ceramics company has completed the transformation and passed the acceptance inspection, due to the nationwide gas shortage in the winter of 2020, full gas supply was not available, resulting in the fact that some of the production lines that have completed the transformation have not been able to actually use natural gas for production. Recently, Foshan ceramic enterprises have received notices one after another, requiring enterprises that have not officially burned gas to prepare. The preliminary plan is that starting from April, Foshan ceramic enterprises will officially switch to natural gas. It is reported that the current price of natural gas used in Foshan's building ceramics industry is 2.6 to 2.7 yuan/m³.
