Linyi, Shandong: 70% of ceramic companies have withdrawn, and the development of Linyi ceramics is difficult after the "coal-to-gas" transition
Five years ago, Linyi had 73 ceramics manufacturing companies and 136 production lines. Now, there are only 21 ceramics companies and 35 production lines left. In just a few years, more than 70% of the ceramics companies and production lines have withdrawn.. In 2019, Linyi, under the "coal-to-gas" policy, was the most "difficult" ceramic production area in the country. The government forced all ceramic companies in Linyi to switch to natural gas, causing the number of local ceramic companies to shrink again from only 45 to 18. , and at the same time, high production costs caused local ceramic companies to instantly lose their market competitive advantage. It is understood that the large slate plate production line constructed by Linyi Sakmi Xintiandi project is planned to be completed by the end of September 2020. By then, there will be 22 ceramic production companies in Linyi production area and 37 production lines, which will once again fill the gap in Linyi's slate category.

Chen Dong: Slate enters the home furnishing industry as a new material
Stone slabs are the same at home and abroad, and companies will take two different routes - traditional ceramics and new materials. The global ceramic industry is in decline. For example, Italy's annual decline is about 4-5%. If slate is used as a new material and crosses over into the home industry, as a cabinet decorative panel, slate will have an annual growth rate of 15%. In the application of slate products, China is the best, and the market size is also very huge. It will become the first in the world, especially in the future, 3mm slate can be used as a decorative material to enter the home market. "Our entire ceramic industry The output value is more than 400 billion yuan, and the home furnishing industry has an output value of more than 700 billion yuan. This market is parallel to that of ceramics. Slate is not only a blue ocean for the ceramics industry, but also has a huge space for future development."

Professor Zhang Boqing of Jingdezhen Ceramics University: Ceramic enterprises should be optimistic about the transition from coal to gas
Regarding the "coal-to-gas" policy of Foshan ceramic enterprises, first, there is a lack of comprehensive thinking in the implementation of "coal-to-gas". The one-size-fits-all approach of "coal-to-gas" conversion by ceramic enterprises still lacks legal basis, and the current vigorous promotion by relevant departments is just an administrative measure. Second, natural gas is not 100% pollution-free energy. Judging from previous experience, ceramic companies still have the problem of high environmental management costs after using natural gas for production. Third, the lack of guarantee of natural gas reserves, quality and price has always been a key factor that has troubled companies in making up their minds to make rectifications. The construction and management of LNG gas stations and accountability for safety incidents that occur during the use of natural gas are also issues that companies must take into account.
Foshan ceramic companies do not need to be overly anxious. In the process of replacing coal with gas, all sectors of the industry have been working hard for the company, and major media have repeatedly conveyed the company’s voices and ideas to the outside world. As long as they are reasonable demands, I believe they can be further properly handled.
