Energy-saving and environmental protection industries will be an important driving force to support supply-side structural reforms

The "Government Work Report" proposes to turn the energy conservation and environmental protection industry into a pillar industry, which shows that the energy conservation and environmental protection industry will be an important driving force to support the supply-side structural reform during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period
.
Six years ago, the central government proposed a strategic emerging industry.
Energy conservation and environmental protection is the primary aspect, but it has been cultivated as a strategic emerging industry
.
To make it a pillar industry nowadays, it is necessary to rely on technological innovation to support it
.
Building energy consumption accounts for about 35% of the energy consumption of the entire society.
We use new technologies to provide new services.
Cooling in summer and heating in winter are not directly burning primary energy, but from other media
.
For example, there is a temperature difference in urban domestic sewage.
We extract the temperature difference from urban domestic sewage to cool buildings in summer and heat in winter
.
CECEP has a multi-million-square-meter residential area project.
The cooling used is the nearby river water.
After the river water is pumped up, a distributed energy station will be established to extract the heat and discharge the river water back.
Only electricity is consumed during the operation process.
No coal or electricity is used for energy production, which greatly reduces emissions
.
The environmental protection industry can not only reduce energy consumption, but also reduce pollutant emissions.
It is an industry that stabilizes growth, adjusts structure, and benefits people's livelihood
.
At present, the low efficiency of resource utilization has become an important issue that restricts China's economic development
.
The purpose of supply-side structural reform is to improve the quality and efficiency of supply
.
Although the economy has changed from high-speed growth to medium-to-high-speed growth, the products should be developed to mid-to-high-end and the output of low-end products should be minimized
.
In this process, the characteristics and advantages of energy saving and environmental protection came out
.
According to estimates, to complete the energy consumption target during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, about 1.
2 trillion RMB will be invested in energy-saving projects alone
.
Increasing the growth rate of the energy conservation and environmental protection industry can solve the employment of about 300,000 to 500,000 people and generate 600 billion investment needs
.
As China is in a period of rapid urbanization, the urban population that grows in a year is equivalent to that of a medium-sized European country.
The discharge of domestic waste brought about by population growth is both a severe challenge and a huge market opportunity
