LED New Deal or will change the lighting industry

LED New Deal or will change the lighting industry Recent "roadmap for reducing the mercury content of fluorescent lamps" and "semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry plan" (hereinafter referred to as "planning") have been successively introduced. We will strive to phase out the liquid mercury production process by the end of 2014. By 2015, the average mercury content of a single fluorescent lamp product will be reduced by about 80% compared to 2010, and more than half of the fluorescent lamps will contain less than 1 milligram of mercury.

However, by comparing the "Road Map" formally promulgated this time with the draft of the draft issued last year, it was found that there were some changes in the content, and in some key objectives, the binding targets in the draft were called "strive for," "strive for." , making it "sacrifice" becomes the expected goal. At the same time, industry analysts said that the "road map" will promote the lighting manufacturing industry into the adjustment period, the industry reshuffle is inevitable.

The new standard is less restrictive. As a matter of fact, as early as last November, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a draft of the “China’s roadmap for gradually reducing the mercury content of fluorescent lamps”, and ended the public announcement on December 5, which was officially announced. version.

Through comparison, in the consultation draft, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that “by December 31, 2013, the liquid mercury production process for compact fluorescent lamps will be phased out; the liquid mercury production process will be completely phased out by December 31, 2014”. In the official version, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that “by the end of 2013, efforts will be made to eliminate the liquid mercury production process of compact fluorescent lamps (fluorescent lamps produced from liquid mercury or liquid mercury wraps as raw materials during the production process); by the end of 2014, efforts will be made. Complete elimination of liquid mercury production process."

The terms “fight for”, “strive for effort” and other terms have allowed the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to replace the restrictive goal of the liquid mercury process with the expected goal.

In the previous consultation version, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology made it clear in its expected results that “the total annual mercury use in the industry will fall from about 60 tons in 2010 to about 10 tons,” and this sentence has not been published in the official document. appear.

Not only that, in the consultation draft, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that “by 2014, by eliminating the liquid mercury process, mercury emissions from the production process will be reduced by about 20 tons compared with 2010”. This statement is in the official version and was changed to "by the end of 2014, through the elimination of the liquid mercury process, mercury emissions from the production process have been reduced by approximately 50% compared to 2010."

According to the data previously disclosed, in 2010, China used 63 tons of mercury in the production of lighting products, 25 tons of mercury was released into the atmosphere, and about 17 tons of mercury was leaked during the injection of mercury, while the waste of fluorescent lamps was about 8 tons of mercury. From this, it is estimated that mercury emissions in China's 2010 production process will be about 50 tons.

Lighting industry is facing a shuffle According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the output of fluorescent lamps in China was about 7 billion in 2011. Among them, the production of compact fluorescent lamps is about 4.7 billion, accounting for more than 80% of global production, and exports 2.8 billion; other types of fluorescent lamps output about 2.3 billion, exports 770 million.

Relevant data show that in 2011 China's lighting industry sales of 55.6 billion US dollars, exports of 22.34 billion US dollars. The upcoming implementation of the Fluorescent Light Reduction Mercury Containment Roadmap will inevitably have a strong impact on the large-scale fluorescent lamp market.

He Zaihua, a senior research fellow at China Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., said that the introduction of the “road map” will prompt the lighting manufacturing industry to enter the adjustment period, and that industry reshuffle will be inevitable. He believes that relevant companies must quickly change their thinking and adjust their development strategies so that they can have more potential for survival. The research and development capabilities of the enterprise and the environmental performance of the product will be an important indicator in the process of the survival of the fittest.

However, reducing the mercury content of fluorescent lamps is not just in China. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, advanced economies such as Europe and the United States have proposed to reduce the mercury content of fluorescent lamps. In 2010, the European Union issued a directive stating that the mercury content of compact fluorescent lamps (less than 30 watts) should not exceed 2.5 milligrams from 2013; the relevant industry standards in the United States require that compact fluorescent lamps (less than 25 watts) contain no more than 4 milligrams of mercury. .

Compared with the timetable promulgated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of 2013, the mercury requirement for compact fluorescent lamps (less than 30 watts) in China is 1.5 milligrams. It can be seen that the requirements for mercury in fluorescent lamps in China are significantly higher than those in Europe and the United States.
