Why can’t domestic sulfur recovery enterprises be established to address the major issue of energy conservation and emission reduction?

Through interactions with numerous sulfur recovery companies in the country, it has become clear that when there are problems with the equipment, technicians or managers can only try to find solutions on their own; it is difficult to arrive at comprehensive and effective conclusions through proper project collaboration. Could everyone talk about the reasons behind this?
It seems that both CNPC and Sinopec have technical associations for their sulfur recovery units; other private companies may operate on their own
Ultimately, China’s technology is not up to standard; every year there are claims that the problem will be solved, but no real action is taken
**The policies are in place, but they are not enforced strictly; environmental inspections are mostly just a formality. There’s nothing that can be done about this either; it’s a requirement of economic development. The people at the top also understand that no one wants to bring it up.
The environmental regulations are not strict enough; it doesn’t matter whether the standards are met or not, and there’s no urgency in addressing any issues that arise. It is strongly required to install 24/7 monitoring devices on chimneys, with a fine of 10,000 yuan for any violation of the standards. I will pay attention to it then
I have been in contact with many sulfur recovery plants abroad; there are strict environmental regulations there, with specialized testing agencies and equipment, as well as organizations that combine industry, academia, and research (which enables the development of new technologies). The penalties are strict; the person surnamed Lao Bai is very conscientious and reports any issues as soon as they are discovered. The recovery rate is generally above 98%.
It seems to be a matter of consciousness; I think money is also a very important factor in this.
I think the main reason is still issues with the technology and equipment; low conversion rates directly lead to excessive emissions
