"Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading of Modern Coal Chemical Industry" released

On February 11, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the National Energy Administration issued the "Guidelines for the Implementation of Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading in Key Fields of High Energy-consuming Industries (2022 Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines")
.

The "Guide" proposes to accelerate the elimination of outdated process technologies and production devices that do not meet the requirements of green and low-carbon transformation and development

The "Guide" proposes that for enterprises whose energy efficiency is at the benchmark level, especially below the benchmark level, actively promote the advanced technology and equipment proposed in this Implementation Guide, the Green Technology Promotion Catalog, the Recommended Catalog of Industrial Energy-saving Technologies, and the "Energy Efficiency Star" Equipment Product Catalog, etc.

Strengthen energy system optimization, waste heat and pressure utilization, pollutant emission reduction, comprehensive utilization of solid waste, and renovation of public and auxiliary facilities, improve the green level of production processes and technical equipment, improve the efficiency of resource and energy utilization, and promote the formation of a strong domestic market

The "Guide" points out that it is necessary to strengthen technical research
.

Make full use of the innovative resources of colleges and universities, scientific research institutes, industry associations and other units to promote green common key technologies, cutting-edge leading technologies and related facilities and equipment for synergistic efficiency of energy saving, pollution reduction and carbon reduction

The "Guide" emphasizes the need to promote agglomeration development
.

Guide key enterprises to give full play to their advantages in capital, talent and technology, voluntarily and independently carry out mergers and acquisitions in this field through methods such as improving the superior and eliminating the inferior and replacing production capacity.
, build a development pattern with a reasonable structure, effective competition, standardized and orderly, and shall not blindly expand production capacity and low-level repetitive construction in the name of mergers and acquisitions

The "Guide" also requires that we should speed up the elimination of backwardness
.

Strictly implement relevant laws and regulations on energy conservation, environmental protection, quality, safety technology and other policies and policies such as the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalog", and eliminate outdated process technologies and production equipment that do not meet the requirements of green and low-carbon transformation and development in accordance with laws and regulations
