"Double carbon" work gets off to a good start (new economic orientation)
Looking at the transcripts of my country's green and low-carbon development, a string of data is eye-catching.
Hydrogen energy is used as the torch fuel, and hydrogen energy buses are connected by shuttles. The 26 venues in the three major competition areas have achieved 100% green power supply. The Beijing Winter Olympics has become the first "carbon neutral" Winter Olympics.
Develop clean energy and support the clean and efficient utilization of coal. By the end of 2021, the balance of green loans in domestic and foreign currencies in my country was 15.9 trillion yuan, ranking first in the world in terms of stock size.
The installed capacity of renewable energy power generation exceeds 1.1 billion kilowatts, and the installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, solar power generation and biomass power generation ranks first in the world. my country has built the world's largest clean power generation system.
On September 22, 2020, at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly announced to the world that China will increase its nationally determined contribution, adopt more powerful policies and measures, and strive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions within Peak by 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
"In the past two years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, all regions and relevant departments have steadily advanced various tasks, and the 'double carbon' work has achieved a good start." The Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of the National Development and Reform Commission Director Liu Dechun said.
Green and low-carbon transformation of energy has achieved remarkable results
On September 22, Hangzhou West Railway Station was put into operation.
Viewed from the air, the combination of the white roof and photovoltaic panels makes the shape of the station extraordinarily cool.
Du Liqiang, executive deputy commander of the Hangzhou West Railway Station Engineering Headquarters of China Railway Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., introduced that 15,000 square meters of photovoltaic power generation panels are arranged on the roof of the station. The design of adding light-transmitting sunshade film allows natural light to pour into the waiting hall; the interior adopts an intelligent lighting system, which can automatically adjust the light intensity according to passenger flow and weather changes; the station roof is also "covered" with a layer of radiant cooling film to reflect roof heat and reduce cooling energy consumption.
"The concept of green and low carbon runs through the entire construction cycle of the station. Hangzhou West Railway Station has obtained the national green building three-star certification, which is the highest level in my country's green building evaluation standards." Du Liqiang said proudly.
Hangzhou West Railway Station is the epitome of promoting green development in key areas in my country.
The green and low-carbon transformation of energy has achieved remarkable results.
Based on the basic national conditions of coal-based, vigorously promote the transformation and upgrading of coal consumption, and implement the “three reforms and linkages” of energy-saving and carbon reduction transformation, flexibility transformation, and heating transformation of coal-fired power units. Transform 220 million kilowatts.
Putting the promotion of new energy and clean energy development in a more prominent position, planning and building 450 million kilowatts of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases in desert, Gobi, and desert areas, and driving the construction of clean and efficient coal power and safe and reliable UHV power transmission and transformation lines in the surrounding areas. The first batch of nearly 100 million kilowatts projects have all started construction.
Since 2020, my country's newly installed wind power and solar power generation capacity has exceeded 100 million kilowatts for two consecutive years, and hydropower installed capacity has increased by about 20 million kilowatts.
In 2021, my country's new energy power generation exceeded the 1 trillion kilowatt-hour mark for the first time.
The proportion of green buildings is higher.
Accelerate the transformation of urban and rural construction, operation, and management models, actively promote green buildings, and promote green and low-carbon upgrades of existing buildings in combination with urban renewal. By the end of 2020, the area of energy-saving renovation of existing residential buildings in cities and towns nationwide will exceed 1.5 billion square meters; 2021 The green building area accounted for 84% of the new buildings in cities and towns that year, contributing to the gradual realization of the "dual carbon" goal.
Low-carbon transportation has become the fashion.
my country has accelerated the construction of a low-carbon transportation system and continued to increase the promotion and application of new energy vehicles. In 2021, China's new energy vehicle production and sales will exceed 3.5 million units, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years. The monthly market penetration rate will increase from 2020. The 2.4% at the beginning of the year rose to about 30% in August 2022.
Accelerate the green transformation of express packaging. In 2021, express electronic waybills and recyclable transfer bags will basically achieve full coverage, and the number of recyclable express boxes (boxes) will reach 6.3 million. Positive progress has been made in the greening, reduction and recycling of packaging.
The pace of green development of the industry is steady
In Taiyuan, Shanxi, under the Tunlan Mine on the banks of the Tunchuan River, the rumbling sound of machines played the march of green mining.
Through technological innovation, Shanxi Coking Coal Tunlan Mine filled useless fly ash into key underground layers by grouting. Last year, 1.18 million tons of high-quality coking coal were mined, creating economic benefits of 13.8 million yuan and effectively preventing surface collapse.
The gangue mountain of Duerping Mine, 40 kilometers away, has lush vegetation and scattered pavilions.
Through ecological restoration, the former waste rock and barren hills have become a good place for the surrounding people to take a leisurely stroll.
China Baowu Taigang Group in the same city has realized the recovery and utilization of waste gas heat energy, and the direct denitrification of sintering flue gas without supplementary heat.
The green transformation of Taiyuan, an industrial city, is the representative of the good start of the "Double Carbon" work.
Industrial upgrading improves efficiency.
Resolutely curb the blind development of high-energy-consuming, high-emission, low-level projects, establish energy efficiency benchmarks and benchmark levels, issue guidelines for the implementation of transformation and upgrading, and vigorously promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of traditional industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, and building materials.
In 2021, my country's crude steel output will decrease by nearly 30 million tons year-on-year.
Focus on new technologies, new industries, and new business formats, vigorously develop strategic emerging industries, and increase the proportion of high-tech manufacturing in the added value of industries above designated size to 15.1% in 2021, and promote the digital and green coordinated transformation of key industries.
In 2021, my country's energy consumption per unit of GDP and carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 2.7% and 3.8% year-on-year, respectively.
The driving force of technological innovation.
Promote the "14th Five-Year" national key research and development plan, implement more than 20 key special projects such as "renewable energy technology", "new energy vehicles", "key technologies and equipment for circular economy", and add "carbon peak carbon neutral key technology research and development". Demonstration" key project.

Ecological restoration increases stamina.
Adhere to the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, and scientifically promote large-scale land greening actions.
In 2021, my country will complete 54 million mu of afforestation, 46 million mu of grassland will be improved with grass seeds, 34.67 million mu of forest will be tended, 14 million mu of degraded forest will be restored, and 1.09 million mu of wetland will be newly added and restored. The amount of forest resources reached 19.493 billion cubic meters, the comprehensive vegetation coverage of grasslands reached 50.32%, and the wetland protection rate reached 52.65%. It has become the country with the largest growth in forest resources in the world.
Green and low-carbon economic policies are gradually improving
Promoting market entities and all parties in the society to take the initiative to protect green, reduce carbon, and reduce emissions is inseparable from the guidance and escort of a sound policy system.
Last year, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutralization" and "Action Plan for Carbon Peaking Before 2030" were successively released, making top-level designs for the realization of the "dual carbon" goal. The timetable, roadmap, and construction drawings for the carbon neutralization work of the carbon peak were clarified.
Since then, implementation plans for key fields such as energy, industry, urban and rural construction, transportation, agriculture and rural areas, coal, oil and natural gas, steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, building materials and other key industries, scientific and technological support, financial support, statistical accounting, talents Support and guarantee plans such as training, as well as implementation plans for carbon peaking in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have been formulated.
"Generally speaking, the series of documents have established a carbon peaking and carbon neutral '1+N' policy system with clear goals, reasonable division of labor, powerful measures, and orderly connection, forming a good pattern of joint promotion by all parties, in order to achieve the 'double The carbon' target provides a steady stream of work kinetic energy." Liu Dechun said.
It will take a long time to achieve the goal of "dual carbon". The green and low-carbon economic policy is gradually being improved, and the incentive and restraint mechanism of "dual carbon" work is constantly being improved.
Fiscal policy is constantly enriched.
Clarify key areas of support, strengthen the guiding role of fiscal funds, study the establishment of a national low-carbon transition fund, implement preferential tax policies such as energy conservation and water conservation, and comprehensive utilization of resources, and improve government green procurement policies... Finance and taxation support green and low-carbon development sends a strong signal.
The price reform in the energy sector was deepened.
We will introduce a new energy grid parity policy, innovate the price mechanism for pumped storage energy, and vigorously promote the large-scale development of renewable energy.
Monetary instruments continued to improve.
As of the first half of 2022, more than 180 billion yuan of policy funds have been issued through carbon emission reduction support tools, and more than 35 billion yuan of policy funds have been issued through special re-loans for clean and efficient use of coal, leveraging more social funds to promote carbon emission reduction.
Market transactions are more active.
Launched the national carbon emission rights trading market. The first batch of 2,162 power companies were included, covering about 4.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. As of September 13, 2022, the cumulative transaction volume was 195 million tons and the transaction amount was 8.56 billion yuan. The world's largest carbon market covering carbon emissions.
