Work Plan Summary for 2003-2004
Period April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004 (Fiscal Year 2003-04)
INTRODUCTION
The work plan presented has been developed based upon the implementation of the project to date and discussions with the Chinese Project Office, CIDA and the CEA throughout the course of the Fiscal Year 2002-2003. This work plan represents the seventh annual work plan for the China-Canada Project in Cleaner Production (CP), and is broken down as follows:
1. POLICIES AND REGULATION FOR CP IMPLEMENTATION
There were significant advances with regard to the national strategy for CP in China over the course of the last fiscal year, with the passage of China's Cleaner Production Promotion Law in June 2002. Effort has shifted to supporting the implementation of this legislation. The local expert group will undertake the majority of this work.
Activities will include:
-
assisting in the development of a "Questions and Answers about the Law" document;
-
support for the new policy initiative on the Circular (Recycling) Economy;
-
support of a strategy for the adoption of CP in the petrol and petrochemical sector;
-
support for the development of action plans for demonstration enterprises that are models of conservation and CP;
-
analysis of existing case studies to determine the reasons for success or failure in the implementation of CP and environmental management systems;
-
assisting in developing a Action Plan for the voluntary implementation of CP in the target sectors;
-
monitoring eco-efficiency at selected industrial parks;
-
acquisition of portable monitoring and detection equipment to measure volatile organic compounds for environmental audits; and
-
support of the Pollution Prevention Centre.
2. CP DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PRIORITY SECTORS
The work plan for 2003-2004 is a continuation of efforts started in 2002-2003 in the the two new industrial sectors, namely the non-ferrous metals sector and the crude oil extraction sector. This year's objective is to generate the sector guideline for the non-ferrous metals industry sector and a draft guideline for the crude oil extraction sector.
Activity 1: Crude oil extraction sector industry audit at Lun Nan oilfield.
Activity 2: Inspections of additional oil fields to collect data required to generate a guideline for the crude oil extraction process.
Activity 3: Production of a draft Table of Contents for crude oil extraction CP guideline.
Activity 4: Production of a draft CP audit manual and guideline for the crude oil extraction sector.
Activity 5: Production of a draft CP audit manual and guideline for the non-ferrous metals sector. This audit manual will cover nickel smelting and refining.
Activity 6: Identification of a complete list of CP options for the Jinchuan refinery, and selection of options for implementation. Approximately 5 priority CP options will be established jointly with the managers of the plant.
Activity 7: Preliminary engineering for the implementation of up to 5 selected CP options at the Jinchuan plant.
Activity 8: Procurement of monitoring equipment for Jinchuan nickel plant.
Activity 9: Implementation of CP solutions by Jinchuan plant. The technical team will provide on-site assistance in this implementation.
Activity 10: Monitoring. A monitoring plan for the assessing CP opportunities and results will be prepared for the Jinchuan refinery.
3. TRAINING, AWARENESS RAISING, AND GENDER EQUALITY
Training and awareness raising activities will continue to focus on the 10 Demonstration Cities and on the Western Regions, which is consistent with the priority of the CP Demonstration Program and the Western Development Strategy of the Chinese government. Activities will also support the new Cleaner Production Promotion Law.

AWARENESS RAISING
In the new CP Law, awareness raising has been identified as a high priority. The activities of the project will support this by dissemination of its existing awareness-raising materials (video, newsletters, fact sheets) and by the production of additional materials. The Chinese language CP books have been in tremendous demand and CDs are easier to distribute as well as more cost effective.
-
Semi-annual Project Newsletter
-
Production of CP Knowledge Books (12 books in total will have been published by the end of the fiscal year)
-
Production of CP Knowledge Books CDs
-
CP Web Site
GENDER EQUALITY (GE)
Activity 1: Training and Awareness
Raising
This will include gender training to Women and Environment Network (WEN) workers
and Project staff. Members of WEN will then assist in delivering gender
awareness-raising sessions at the plants. A gender equality working group will
identify issues and actions at the Jinchuan plant. When possible, gender
sessions will be delivered together with other CP training opportunities, both
in China and in Canada.
Activity 2: Inclusion of gender
considerations into other project activities
Gender considerations will be included in the CP guidelines and the CP Knowledge
books.
During 2003-2003 the emphasis will be:
-
to strengthen the capacity of the project management to develop and maintain the information technology software and hardware infrastructure necessary to support the promotion of CP
-
to continue development and to maintain the database of CP experts in China and to initiate development of other databases required to fulfill the project management unit's mandate
-
to review and refresh the content of both the Chinese and English language websites, particularly with respect to increasing emphasis on the new CP Promotion law and on new sectors and geographic regions being serviced by the project
-
to initiate the transfer of responsibility for content development and management of the English language website to the project management unit
-
to develop and maintain a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) facility on the Chinese language website in conjunction with the capacity to bulk email newsletters, press releases, etc. to a selected list of interested individuals and organizations
-
to continue aggressive promotion of the website, with a goal to increasing use from 50,000 page requests per month to at least 60,000 page requests per month by the end of the fiscal year
