In terms of direction, the “Plan” clearly states that green and low-carbon development is an important way to create value and enhance value. It promotes unified thinking, simultaneous action and active transformation of industry enterprises, focuses on cultivating and developing green productivity, accelerates the development of advanced technologies and industries representing the direction of green productivity, such as new energy equipment, new energy storage, hydrogen energy, energy saving and environmental protection equipment, and pushes the industry to continuously advance towards the middle and upper end of the world.
Q: What are the general requirements of the Plan?
Answer: The “Plan” adheres to Xi Jinping's ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, thoroughly implements the spirit of the 20th National Congress and the 20th Plenary Session of the CPC, earnestly implements the Fourth Plenary Session deployment, thoroughly implements Xi Jinping's ideology of ecological civilization, completely, accurately and comprehensively implements the new development concept, accelerates the construction of a new development pattern, anchors the basic goal of achieving new industrialization, and promotes high-quality development. The main line is to cultivate and expand green productivity, give full play to the leading role of carbon neutrality in carbon neutrality, adhere to the direction of intelligence, greening and integration, highlight value creation and capacity improvement in an integrated manner greening With green industrialization, accelerate the deep integration of green scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, develop green manufacturing, expand green and low-carbon industries, and establish a green foundation for new industrialization.
The “Plan” proposes overall goals: by 2030, the industrial structure and energy consumption structure will be further optimized, carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector will peak, the efficiency of energy resource utilization will increase steadily, the proportion of green energy applications will increase significantly, the green manufacturing and service system will be more perfect, and the competitive advantage of the green and low-carbon industry will be consolidated and enhanced. The “Plan” proposes 7 expected targets, including value-added energy consumption and reduction of carbon emissions for industrial units above scale.
Q: What are the key tasks deployed in the Plan?
A: The “Plan” lays out seven key tasks, which can be summarized as “implementing 1 action, improving 4 capabilities, and improving 2 systems”.
Implement 1 action, that is, thoroughly implement the carbon peak action in the industrial sector. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, actively and steadily promoting and achieving carbon peaks in the industrial sector is the top priority in promoting green and low-carbon industrial development. In a situation where industrial restructuring and green transformation have made great progress, there is a need to give more prominence to the supporting role of energy use structure optimization in the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry. The “Plan” lays out tasks related to promoting collaborative transformation of industrial structures and energy use structures, speeding up electrification and green energy application, and strengthening energy saving and carbon reduction in key industrial industries.
Enhancing the four capabilities. The first is to enhance the ability of the industry to create green value. By promoting the green transformation of traditional industries, consolidating and upgrading industries with green advantages, cultivating and expanding the green momentum of emerging industries, activating the endogenous motivation for green development and promoting the green upgrading of the industrial system. The second is to enhance the supply capacity of green equipment products, focus on supporting the overall green transformation of economic and social development, strengthen the effective supply of green technology, equipment, processes, and products, and lead the green transformation in the fields of energy, transportation, construction, agriculture, and consumption. The third is to enhance green and low-carbon technological innovation capabilities, highlight the deep integration of green scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, deploy relevant tasks in accordance with technical research, industrial application, promotion and popularization, promote R&D and innovation of key green and low-carbon technologies, and promote the transformation and application of green and low-carbon scientific and technological achievements. Fourth, enhance intelligent green integration and development capabilities, adhere to the collaborative promotion of intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing, promote artificial intelligence to empower green manufacturing on the basis of consolidating the foundation of integration and deepening integrated applications, accelerate the restructuring of production organization methods driven by digital intelligence technology, and accelerate the green transformation process and improve efficiency.
Improve the two systems. The first is to improve the industrial resource recycling system. According to classification policies and focused ideas, related tasks such as promoting efficient and high-value utilization of renewable resources, strengthening large-scale diversified utilization of bulk industrial solid waste, speeding up the construction of a new comprehensive solid waste utilization system, and promoting the conservation and intensive use of water resources are proposed. The second is to improve the green manufacturing and service system, focus on promoting the quality and expansion of green factories, upgrading green industrial parks, improving the synergy of green supply chains, vigorously developing green design, innovating and developing new forms of green manufacturing services, and polishing the “gold sign” of green manufacturing.
Q: How to organize and implement the “Plan”?
Answer: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology coordinates the organization and implementation, and strengthens the monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of implementation of key target tasks.
In terms of coordination and linkage, strengthen the linkage between industrial policies and energy, science and technology, finance, etc., guide industry associations to play a role as a bridge between enterprises and governments, and promote green and low-carbon development in the industry.
In terms of establishing regulations, research and enact administrative regulations relating to the recycling and comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries, and formulate and revise departmental regulations on industrial energy saving and carbon reduction, water conservation, comprehensive utilization of resources, and restrictions on the use of harmful substances in electrical and electronic products.
In terms of standard construction, pre-research, promotion and implementation of standards have been strengthened, and 500 industrial green and low-carbon standard system revisions have been completed.
In terms of policy support, strengthen the green financing interface, improve the green consumption incentive mechanism, and expand the government's green procurement.
In terms of talent training, colleges and universities that are in a position to do so are encouraged to add majors in related subjects such as green design, green manufacturing, and hydrogen energy, build a number of training bases integrating industry and education, explore and develop new occupations related to green factory management, and accelerate the cultivation of complex talents for green and low-carbon management.
