Central and local governments have worked out a clear path for industrial carbon reduction during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period

In the context of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, ministries and commissions are accelerating the promotion of industrial green and low-carbon transformation
.

The reporter was informed that the "14th Five-Year" Industrial Green Development Plan and the "14th Five-Year" Raw Material Industry Development Plan will be released soon.

The overall level of industrial green development is constantly improving
.

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China’s traditional industries have accelerated their transformation and upgrading.

Industrial green and low-carbon development still faces many challenges
.

Dong Zhanfeng, deputy director of the Institute of Management and Policy of the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that industry accounts for about 80% of the country's total carbon dioxide emissions, and its top priority is to reduce pollution and carbon

Recently, multiple departments are launching intensive deployment to further improve the top-level design, promote green and low-carbon transformation and optimize and upgrade the industrial structure
.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently stated that it will soon release the "14th Five-Year" Industrial Green Development Plan and the "14th Five-Year" Raw Material Industry Development Plan, which will promote industry in terms of industrial structure, energy consumption, production process, resource utilization, and product supply.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote the high-end transformation of the industrial structure, resolutely curb the blind development of the “two highs” projects, improve and strictly implement the relevant policies for capacity replacement, promote the elimination of outdated capacity, and develop strategic emerging industries and high-tech industries
.

Accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy consumption, increase the proportion of clean energy consumption, and build a clean, efficient, and low-carbon industrial energy structure

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will basically establish a working mechanism for the environmental impact assessment of carbon emissions from construction projects in key industries by the end of this year; before the end of June 2022, explore the formation of construction project pollutants and carbon emissions coordinated management and evaluation technical methods, and open up the overall integration of pollution sources and carbon emissions management Path to achieve the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction from the source
.

Localities are also actively deploying, accelerating the green upgrading of the industrial structure, and building a green manufacturing industry system
.

For example, the "Three-year Action Plan for Optimization and Improvement of Green Manufacturing in Jiujiang City" recently released proposes to vigorously promote the technological transformation of traditional industries, focus on key industries such as electronic information, new materials, energy conservation and environmental protection, cultivate and expand green industries, and focus on supporting national and provincial levels.

Two rounds of technical funding

Facing the "14th Five-Year Plan", many places will further use digital technology to promote industrial green and low-carbon development
.

The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the Construction of Zhejiang Province's Global Advanced Manufacturing Base" issued on July 19 clearly proposes to promote the development of digital green integration

Enterprises are also actively exploring
.

In Henan, the 5G+ scrap judging system jointly built by Jiyuan Steel and UFIDA Smart Industrial Brain uses AI remote judgment to replace manual on-site operations, which greatly improves the accuracy of scrap judging and promotes the recycling of scrap steel

At the same time, financial and fiscal funds are also increasing support for industrial green and low-carbon transformation
.
According to data from the China Interbank Market Traders Association, from the first launch of carbon neutral bonds on February 9 this year to the end of June, a total of 44 companies issued 5.
5 72.
9 billion yuan
.
Among them, industrial low-carbon transformation is an important area of ​​fundraising
.

It is reported that in the next step, green finance will continue to make efforts to guide China's industrial green and low-carbon transformation
.
The central bank recently stated that it will continue to explore fiscal and tax policies including subsidies, interest discounts, tax reductions and exemptions, as well as enhance the supervision of green credit and green bond attractiveness, and at the same time strengthen and improve the green financial evaluation mechanism, and increase the enthusiasm of market institutions to allocate green assets
.
The Ministry of Finance also stated that it will play the role of fiscal funds in a variety of ways, leverage financial resources and social capital to serve green development, and initiate the establishment of a national green development fund
.

Zhejiang Banking and Insurance Regulatory Bureau and other 10 departments jointly issued a document to include six major areas including industry and green and low-carbon technological innovation into the scope of key support, proposing to strive to achieve an average annual growth rate of green credit in the province from 2021 to 2025.
%, the balance reached 2.
5 trillion yuan, accounting for 1 percentage point each year in various loans

Need to accelerate industrial restructuring

Need to accelerate industrial restructuring

Industry experts believe that under the “dual-carbon” goal, industrial green and low-carbon industries still face practical problems such as urgent adjustments in the industry and energy structure
.

Wu Qi, executive director of the Wuxi Institute of Digital Economy, said that the pace of restructuring and integration of high-energy-consuming industries should be accelerated, and R&D investment in new technologies related to green development should be increased to promote the transformation and upgrading of China's industrial structure
.
"In particular, industries with high energy consumption and high emissions such as steel, petrochemicals, building materials, cement, and non-ferrous metals have higher and more urgent technical requirements for emission reduction and carbon reduction.
Leading enterprises in the industry are expected to further gain a competitive advantage, merge, reorganize and integrate.
The trend is strengthening
.
" Wu Qi said
.

Dong Zhanfeng suggested that the industrial regional layout end should be implemented in accordance with local policies, plan differentiated green development policies, strengthen the supervision and management of industrial energy consumption in the western region, focus on promoting the green development of regional characteristic industries, promote the high-end transformation of the industrial structure, and accelerate the transformation of energy consumption to low carbon.
Promote the application of green energy in the industrial field
.
At the same time, in terms of technical structure, increase the research and development and application of new materials and new technologies in the industrial field, research and carry out major demonstration projects for carbon reduction, and propose a number of major energy-saving and carbon-reduction technologies
.

Related policy guarantees also need to be further improved
.
Dong Zhanfeng said that the next step is to accelerate the implementation of more powerful market economy incentive policies, such as controlling bank credit for "two highs" projects, and introducing fiscal subsidies and tax incentives for circular economy, low-carbon or zero-carbon industries
.
Give full play to the synergy of policies such as the industrial structure adjustment guidance catalogue, such as adding carbon emission control requirements to the industrial structure adjustment guidance catalogue
.
At the same time, we will strengthen the coordination of pollution permits and carbon emission control policies, and set a cap on the total amount of carbon emission permits for industrial pollution sources, so as to comprehensively promote the green and low-carbon development of the manufacturing industry
