Chinanews.com, July 16th. The national carbon market was officially launched on the 16th. Talking about the issue of "what has been done in the construction of the carbon market?" The establishment of the market, the establishment of the market, and participation in carbon trading are all very active.
The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the 16th to introduce the economic performance of central enterprises in the first half of the year.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: The national carbon market was officially launched today, and two thousand power generation units were included in the first batch.
What work has the central SOEs done in the construction of the carbon market?
In the next step, what plans does the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have for promoting the green transformation of central enterprises?
Peng Huagang responded that carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are very important topics, and central enterprises are also actively promoting related work.
Regarding the carbon market, from the perspective of central enterprises, it is mainly necessary to steadily promote the establishment of low-carbon development systems and mechanisms, promote enterprises to establish and improve carbon asset management systems, and actively participate in the construction of national energy rights and carbon emission rights trading markets. Carry out carbon emissions reporting and information disclosure.
In addition, Peng Huagang said that he supports enterprises to develop market-oriented energy-saving methods such as integrated energy services and contract energy management, guides enterprises to build an investment and financing system compatible with carbon peaks and carbon neutrality, and develop green financial products and business innovation.
At present, some central enterprises have established professional institutions for carbon asset management, have carried out carbon emission statistical accounting, inventory and other work, and actively participate in carbon emissions trading.
Central enterprises in key industries such as energy and steel have also invested in carbon trading institutions in Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei and other places.
Peng Huagang said that in the entire process, the central enterprises were very active, whether it was from the establishment of rules, the establishment of the market, to participation in carbon trading.
Some companies say that the first batch of carbon trading in pilot areas may have been participated by central enterprises.
Peng Huagang introduced that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) attaches great importance to carbon peaking and carbon neutral actions, and is now actively studying and formulating relevant opinions and plans to promote central enterprises to better play a role in carbon peaking and carbon neutral actions.
There are several main aspects of work:
The first is to steadily promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the industrial structure.
During the preparation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" of central enterprises, the SASAC strengthened the deployment of green and low-carbon development, developed and expanded green and low-carbon industries, promoted the low-carbon transformation of traditional industries, and resolutely curbed the blind construction of high-energy-consuming and high-emission projects .
The second is to steadily advance the optimization of the energy structure.
Guide central enterprises to strictly control the consumption of fossil energy, actively develop non-fossil energy, develop hydropower according to local conditions, accelerate the development of wind power and photovoltaic power generation, and actively and orderly develop nuclear power.
Including Wudongde and Baihetan of the Three Gorges Group, these are all large hydropower. The development and construction of these clean energy sources will build a new power system with new energy as the main body, and coordinate the development of the entire chain of "production, transportation, storage and use" of hydrogen energy.
At present, more than one-third of central enterprises have been formulating the layout of the entire industry chain including hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen refueling, and hydrogen use, and have also achieved a number of technology research and development and demonstration applications.
The third is to steadily promote the efficient and intensive use of energy resources, promote central enterprises to continue to strengthen the "dual control" of total energy consumption and intensity, strengthen energy-saving management and target responsibility assessment, vigorously implement energy-saving and low-carbon technological transformation, strengthen energy efficiency benchmarking, and continue to promote Green utilization of coal.
The energy consumption per unit output value of central enterprises is now also continuing to decline.
The fourth is to steadily promote the application of green and low-carbon technologies.
Organize central enterprises to strengthen scientific and technological research on low-carbon, zero-carbon and negative carbon, leading and driving breakthroughs in green and low-carbon technologies.
In some of the projects of central enterprises, the deployment of wind power, nuclear power, hydrogen energy, new energy vehicles and other green and low-carbon technology and equipment research tasks, to promote the development and application of smart grid, energy storage, hydrogen energy, carbon capture and other technologies. Work is intensifying.
Peng Huagang pointed out that in the next step, the SASAC will resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, organize the central enterprises to fully promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, reduce backward production capacity, and promote the research and development and application of low-carbon, zero-carbon and negative-carbon technologies. Intensify efforts, give full play to the important role of central enterprises, and make better contributions to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
