Jiangsu Province's relevant authorities announced on February 25 that the province will launch pilot programs for the paid use of chemical oxygen demand (COD) emission targets in the Taihu Lake Basin, as well as trial measures for sulfur dioxide emission targets in the power sector. These new management regulations will officially take effect immediately, with the "discharge index fee" now included in the budgets of various levels as a dedicated environmental protection fund.
The trial for COD "sewage indicator fees" covers all administrative regions of Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Danyang cities, as well as rivers within Jurong, Gaochun, and Qinshui counties that impact the water quality of Taihu Lake. Enterprises that directly discharge major water pollutants and utilize emission quotas in areas such as lakes, reservoirs, and canals are required to participate. The pilot industries include textile dyeing and finishing, chemicals, papermaking, iron and steel, electroplating, food manufacturing (monosodium glutamate and beer), and wastewater treatment. Notably, the sewage indicator fee for wastewater treatment units is set at 2,600 yuan per ton annually, while the other six key industries face a higher rate of 4,500 yuan per ton per year.
In contrast, the sulfur dioxide "sewage indicator fee" applies only to the power industry across the province. Unlike the COD system, which charges based on total emission indicators, the power sector will be charged for exceeding its allocated sulfur dioxide emissions, as well as for newly issued emission permits. This approach aims to encourage cleaner production practices and promote sustainable development by making polluters bear the cost of their environmental impact.
This initiative marks a significant step forward in Jiangsu’s environmental governance strategy, aligning with national goals to reduce pollution and improve ecological quality. By introducing market-based mechanisms, the province hopes to create stronger incentives for enterprises to adopt more environmentally friendly technologies and operational methods. The success of these trials could serve as a model for other regions in China looking to implement similar policies.
