Science and Technology Daily (Reporter Li He) During the “14th Five-Year Plan” and the 15th Five-Year Plan period, my country will carry out the CO2 emission peaking action to clarify the peaking targets, roadmaps, action plans and supporting measures for local and key industries. Strengthen supervision and assessment to ensure that the peak goal by 2030 can be achieved." At a press conference held by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on October 28, Li Gao, Director of the Department of Climate Change, said.
According to the materials provided by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, as of the end of 2019, my country’s carbon intensity was about 48.1% lower than that in 2005, and non-fossil energy accounted for 15.3% of primary energy consumption. The goal of controlling greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 has been completed ahead of schedule, and it is also in order to achieve 2030 The goal of reaching the peak before 2060 and the vision of carbon neutrality by 2060 laid the foundation.
Li Gao said that the "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period for my country's work on climate change.
In general, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will comprehensively strengthen efforts to address climate change, formulate a special plan for addressing climate change during the "14th Five-Year Plan", and form a mechanism to promote high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment. The fundamental transformation of the three major structures of economy, industry and energy.
my country's pilot carbon market has grown into the second largest carbon market in global quota trading volume.
As of August 2020, the pilot provincial and municipal carbon markets have covered more than 20 industries including iron and steel, electric power, cement and nearly 3,000 companies, with a cumulative transaction volume of over 400 million tons and a cumulative transaction volume of over 9 billion yuan.
Li Gao said that the 13th Five-Year Plan period is to lay the foundation for the national carbon market. Start trading to continue smooth operation, etc.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we will also strictly control the intensity of energy consumption, especially the intensity of fossil energy consumption, implement more stringent coal control measures, promote the use of electricity to replace coal and gas, increase the control of scattered coal, and vigorously develop renewable energy. Wait.
"We will deepen low-carbon actions in key areas, promote the development of low-carbon industrial systems, low-carbon transportation and low-carbon buildings, and promote the energy efficiency of new infrastructure such as data centers and 5G base stations." Li Gao emphasized the work related to the carbon emission peaking action. It will be included in the central ecological and environmental protection inspection, and will coordinate the promotion of climate change and ecological environmental protection work, unified monitoring and evaluation, unified supervision and law enforcement, and unified inspection and accountability.
