Host Xu Xiaoyan on camera [Dear viewers, I am now at the ethanol production workshop of the Dongtai branch of Jilin Fuel Ethanol Co., Ltd., where we can see that modern controllable fermentation and distillation equipment have replaced the traditional tools such as fermentation pools, fermentation tanks, and stills used in ethanol production. This has not only increased the output of ethanol but also reduced losses, achieving large-scale, mechanized, and automated ethanol production.] After more than three months of construction, this domestic first set of modern sweet sorghum stalk ethanol production facilities was officially put into operation in Dongtai recently, producing 3,000 tons of sweet sorghum stalk ethanol annually. It has the significant characteristics of not occupying farmland, not consuming food, and not damaging the ecological environment. In addition to fully digesting sweet sorghum stalks for ethanol production, the project can also comprehensively utilize other waste materials, truly turning waste into treasure.

The successful commissioning of the sweet sorghum stalk ethanol project is another vivid example of Dongtai City adhering to scientific development, promoting technological innovation, and following the path of new-type industrialization. In the past five years, Dongtai City actively integrated into the integrated development process of the Yangtze River Delta region, proactively responded to the coastal development strategy of the province, and focused on creating a regional policy lowland and industrial agglomeration platform. A large number of projects with high technical content, high added value, high returns, low pollution, low energy consumption, and broad market prospects, such as Guohua Wind Power, Chunyan Plastic Industry, and Desay Chemical Fiber, have successively started construction, been put into operation, and achieved effectiveness, lifting Dongtai's industrial economy to new heights. While external projects rapidly rise, local Dongtai enterprises have implemented technical renovations to expand capacity, improve quality, and enhance efficiency, achieving a leap from quantitative change to qualitative transformation. Nearly ten companies have entered the top 50 industrial enterprises in Yancheng city, with three ranking in the top ten. Among them, the cotton spinning fine yarn machine of Mazzoli Dongtai Textile Machinery accounts for one-third of the national market, Jiangsu Leida Cement ranks sixth in the same industry nationwide, and Fengfeng Tungsten Molybdenum Products occupy 70% of the national share, becoming true industry giants. From labor-intensive to technology-intensive, from extensive to intensive, the transformation of economic growth patterns has laid a solid foundation for Dongtai's leapfrog development. In 2007, Dongtai's fiscal revenue broke through the 2 billion yuan mark for the first time, reaching 2.2 billion yuan, which is three times what it was five years ago.

Dongtai has become an increasingly important manufacturing processing and supporting base and emerging industry base in the Yangtze River Delta region.]
