China News Service, November 15th. According to the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued on the 15th the "Notice on Issuing the Energy Efficiency Benchmark Level and Benchmark Level in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2021 Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice" "), the "Notice" pointed out that the high energy-consuming industries must be based on the energy efficiency benchmark level and benchmark level, within a limited period of time to implement the transformation, upgrading and elimination in batches.

  The "Notice" requires that the advanced energy efficiency level of domestic and foreign production enterprises should be benchmarked, and the energy efficiency benchmark level of high-energy-consuming industries should be determined.

Refer to the entry value and limit value determined by the current national energy consumption limit standard for unit product, according to the actual situation of the industry, development expectations, and the overall energy efficiency level of production equipment, etc., make overall considerations to achieve the carbon peak target on schedule, maintain stable production and supply, and facilitate business operations Implementation and other factors, scientifically delineate the energy efficiency benchmark level of various industries.

The scope of key areas, benchmarking levels, and benchmark levels will be supplemented and improved and dynamically adjusted based on the development of the industry and the formulation and revision of energy consumption quota standards.

  The "Notice" pointed out that the projects to be built and under construction should be implemented in accordance with the construction of the energy efficiency benchmark level, and the energy efficiency level should be raised as much as possible, and strive to fully reach the benchmark level.

For stock projects with energy efficiency lower than the industry benchmark level, a reasonable policy implementation transition period should be set up to guide enterprises to orderly carry out energy-saving and carbon-reduction technological transformation, improve the energy efficiency of production and operation, and resolutely eliminate outdated production capacity, backward technology, and backward products in accordance with laws and regulations.

Strengthen the promotion and application of green and low-carbon technology and equipment to promote the formation of a strong domestic market.

  The "Notice" requires that according to the energy efficiency benchmark level and benchmark level, the transformation, upgrading and elimination shall be implemented in batches within a time limit.

For projects that need to carry out technological transformation, all localities must clarify the transformation and upgrading and elimination time limit (generally no more than 3 years) and the annual transformation and elimination plan, and upgrade the energy efficiency transformation to the benchmark level within the specified time limit, and strive to reach the energy efficiency benchmark level; Projects that have been transformed on schedule will be eliminated.

Resolutely curb the unreasonable use of energy by high-energy-consuming projects, and limit energy use for projects whose energy efficiency is lower than the industry benchmark level and cannot be upgraded and upgraded on time.

  The "Notice" pointed out that it is necessary to integrate and utilize existing policy tools, and increase energy-saving and carbon-reduction market regulation and supervision and implementation through tiered electricity prices, national industrial special energy-saving supervision, and environmental protection supervision and law enforcement.

Promote financial institutions to provide high-quality financial services to key projects with significant energy-saving and emission-reduction effects under the premise of controllable risks and sustainable business, implement tax preferential policies such as special energy-saving equipment, technological transformation, and comprehensive utilization of resources, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of enterprises Steps to improve the overall energy efficiency level of the industry.

  The "Notice" emphasizes that the above regulations will be implemented from January 1, 2022.

All localities must deeply understand and attach great importance to the importance of strict energy efficiency constraints to promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction work in high-energy-consuming industries, fully based on local development reality, adhere to system concepts, respect market laws, refine work requirements, strengthen implementation of responsibilities, and be stable and orderly Promote the transformation of energy-saving and carbon-reduction technologies, and effectively avoid "one size fits all" management and "movement-style" carbon reduction, so as to ensure the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain and the stable operation of the economy and society.
