The State Council recently issued the "14th Five Year Plan" Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, which deployed ten major projects including green upgrading of key industries, improvement of energy conservation and environmental protection in parks, green energy-saving transformation of cities and towns, and made it clear that by 2025, the national energy consumption per unit of GDP will be 13.5% lower than that in 2020, the total energy consumption will be reasonably controlled, and chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen The total emissions of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds decreased by 8%, 8%, more than 10% and more than 10% respectively compared with 2020, providing important support for the overall promotion of carbon peak and carbon neutralization during the "14th Five Year Plan" period, deepening the battle against pollution, and promoting high-quality development.
Energy conservation and emission reduction is a major decision and deployment made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. China has made a series of arrangements for this work, and has made significant progress through continuous promotion. During the "14th Five Year Plan" period, China has embarked on the journey of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and the construction of ecological civilization has entered a critical period with carbon reduction as the key strategic direction. This work needs to move with the times and follow the trend, focus on improving the efficiency of energy resource utilization, ensure the safe and stable supply of energy resources, and constantly consolidate and improve the effectiveness of environmental governance, Make new contributions to achieving the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality on schedule.
Practice has proved that focusing on key projects of energy conservation and emission reduction is an effective way to promote comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Through project implementation, accelerating the green transformation of economic stock, forming green increment and increasing the supply of green and low-carbon products are of great significance for promoting the overall green upgrading of the industrial system and promoting high-quality economic and social development. The "14th Five Year Plan" period is the key period and window period to achieve carbon peak. It is necessary to focus on energy conservation, pollution reduction and carbon reduction in key industries, industrial parks, cities and towns, agriculture and rural areas, buildings, transportation and logistics, public institutions and other key areas, implement ten major energy conservation and emission reduction projects, and promote the emission reduction of pollutants in key areas, clean and efficient use of coal, comprehensive treatment of volatile organic compounds On the basis of improving the level of environmental infrastructure, gradually solve the outstanding problems of resources and environment, effectively enhance the endogenous power of energy conservation and environmental protection industry, drive investment in green and low-carbon fields, and form a new growth point for economic and social development.
Improving the constraint and incentive system of energy conservation and emission reduction is an important part of the key projects of energy conservation and emission reduction. Faced with the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, as well as the new situation in China's economic operation and industrial development in recent years, a series of optimization policies for energy conservation and emission reduction need to be put on the agenda. For example, further strengthen the management of binding indicators for energy intensity reduction, improve the way to determine the total target of local energy consumption, exclude new renewable energy power consumption from the assessment of total local energy consumption, exclude raw material energy from the dual control assessment of national and local energy consumption, orderly implement the energy consumption of national major projects separately, optimize the dual control assessment frequency of energy consumption Improve the accounting method and assessment system of total pollutant emission reduction and other policies with more accurate services. Another example is to improve the marketization mechanism, deepen the pilot of energy use right trading, cultivate and develop the emission trading market and other policies to improve the basic capacity of energy conservation and emission reduction, and so on. Moreover, system design and policy guidance are not enough. The key is to implement them to the letter.
Energy conservation and emission reduction is not only an important starting point to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions from the source, deepen the battle against pollution and help achieve peak carbon neutrality, but also a practical action to promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature and benefit future generations. We should fully understand the importance of energy conservation and emission reduction, and work one after another, year after year. We should work together to deepen this work.
