"Carbon Neutrality" Guides Industrial Transformation and Upgrading

On January 13, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Guiding Opinions on Coordinating and Strengthening the Response to Climate Change and Eco-environmental Protection" and proposed that the action plan for peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 should be formulated to encourage energy, industry, transportation, construction, etc.
Develop a special plan for reaching peaks in key areas
.
Promote key industries such as steel, building materials, nonferrous metals, chemicals, petrochemicals, electric power, coal and other key industries to put forward clear peak goals and formulate peak action plans
.
Experts believe that with the setting of the "carbon neutral" goal, high-tech industries such as the Internet and big data will usher in a new wave of rapid development opportunities
.
China made it clear at the United Nations General Assembly last year that carbon dioxide emissions should strive to reach a peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060; the 2020 Central Economic Work Conference will "do a good job in carbon peak and carbon neutrality" as 2021 The key tasks to be grasped well this year
.
The "14th Five-Year" plan proposes to reduce the intensity of carbon emissions, support the places where conditions permit, to take the lead in reaching the peak of carbon emissions, and formulate an action plan for peaking carbon emissions by 2030
.
For a long time, China has unswervingly implemented a national strategy to actively respond to climate change, participated in and led global climate governance, and achieved remarkable results in response to climate change
.
According to data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, China has successfully fulfilled the goal of reducing carbon dioxide emission intensity by 45% by 2020 compared with 2005
.
Zhang Yiqun, vice chairman of the Performance Management Committee of the Chinese Institute of Finance, told a reporter from the Securities Daily that China, as the world’s largest developing country, has always taken a serious and responsible attitude towards carbon emission rights and carbon emissions, and aligns them with China’s economic development.
The combination of, people’s livelihood improvement, etc.
, has made a worldwide contribution to reducing carbon emissions
.
Zhang Yiqun said that from the perspective of carbon emissions, under the influence of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality", traditional heavy industries such as coal, smelting, and petrochemical are the most affected.
The existing carbon emissions are large, pollution prevention is difficult, and there is room for development.
Restrictions and other negative effects, as well as positive effects such as technology upgrades, equipment updates, and strong industrial relevance, provide new development opportunities for traditional industries to regain vitality
.
"From the perspective of industrial development, high-tech industries represented by the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and biomedicine are ushering in a new wave of rapid development opportunities, which can lead new technological innovations and transform traditional industries.
The upgrade provides strong technical support to realize mutual benefit and integrated development of new industries and traditional industries
.
" Zhang Yiqun said
.
Zhao Ling, senior investment consultant of Jufeng Investment Consulting, told a reporter from the Securities Daily that "Carbon Peak" and "Carbon Neutrality" emphasize the use of clean energy and reduce the consumption of petrochemical energy
.
Clean energy mainly includes solar photovoltaic, wind power and nuclear power
.
It is expected that the installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind energy will increase during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, which is a definite industry opportunity
.
Zhao Ling said that the key to China's progress toward "carbon neutrality" is to accelerate the reform and innovation of the energy industry and increase the proportion of clean energy or zero-carbon and low-carbon energy
.
At this stage, the core of photovoltaic power grid integration is grid consumption.
It is recommended that various means such as subsidies can be used to increase the power of grid-side photovoltaic power grid integration
.
? In order to achieve the goal of "carbon neutrality", Zhang Yiqun suggested that, first, we must promptly promote the transformation and upgrading of the economic structure, and encourage the priority development of new industries and new technology industries and the acceleration of technological upgrading of traditional industries through the guidance of macroeconomic policies such as fiscal and monetary policies.
Carbon emissions; the second is to include carbon emissions in the scope of environmental protection taxation, to strengthen the main responsibility of enterprises to reduce carbon emissions, and to curb the development of carbon emissions industries; the third is to formulate carbon emission standards, establish a carbon emission assessment index system and assessment mechanism, and strengthen reduction Institutional constraints on carbon emissions; the fourth is to establish the concept of green production and low-carbon life, change traditional production and life>
