Sichuan launches pilot near-zero carbon emission park at the provincial level

On April 24, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment and the Department of Economy and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Launching the Pilot Work of Near-Zero Carbon Emission Parks" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), and issued the "Sichuan Province Near-Zero Carbon Emission Park Pilot Construction Work".
Plan” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), and officially launched the pilot project of provincial-level near-zero carbon emission parks
.

The "Notice" requires that all cities (prefectures) in Sichuan Province should closely follow the major strategic decision of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, implement the national strategy to actively respond to climate change, and take the pilot construction of near-zero carbon emission parks as an important priority to promote the low-carbon and high-quality development of the parks.
Hand, accurately understand and grasp development and emission reduction, overall and partial, long-term and short-term goals, the relationship between the government and the market, support qualified parks to play a low-carbon leading role, and explore near-zero carbon development paths in accordance with practical, step-by-step, and local conditions.
Do not engage in sports-style "carbon reduction"
.

The "Plan" requires that the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development be the guide, the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction is the starting point, and the green, low-carbon and efficient utilization of energy is the focus, and the scientific layout, demonstration and guidance, classified policies, step-by-step and innovative Drive, digital empowerment, carry out the pilot construction of near-zero carbon emission parks, explore the green and low-carbon transformation path of the park, and strive to explore the near-zero carbon path, scenario creation, investment financing, technology application, digital empowerment, statistical accounting, Management mechanisms and other aspects have formed a batch of replicable and generalizable experiences
.

The "Plan" makes it clear that qualified parks are allowed to be included in the pilot in the whole area or part of the area, and at the same time, the industrial functional areas of national-level new areas are promoted to carry out near-zero carbon pilot projects
.
In addition, the "Plan" proposes 16 indicators and 4 additional plus (minus) sub-items from the six aspects of emission control, energy structure, output efficiency, pollution reduction and carbon reduction, infrastructure, and operation management.
"One-vote veto" in the park for environmental pollution and ecological damage accidents
