"According to our calculations, the annual revenue of my country's ecological and environmental protection industry in 2022 will be about 2.22 trillion yuan, an increase of about 1.9% compared with the same period in 2021, achieving a good start in the "14th Five-Year Plan", and various tasks have achieved results." At the recently held Guo Chengzhan, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, said at the press conference on the industry development status and achievements of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association.
"Vigorously develop the ecological and environmental protection industry" is one of the key tasks for 2023 deployed by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment at the just-concluded 2023 National Ecological and Environmental Protection Work Conference.
In Guo Chengzhan's view, this means that "the industry is ushering in a new round of development opportunities."
It is understood that in 2022, the ecological and environmental protection industry will play an important role in improving the quality of the ecological environment, ensuring environmental safety, ensuring people's livelihood and health, and promoting economic and social development.
Industrial innovation continues to be active.
Scientific and technological innovation has made new progress and new results. The "Distributed Sinking Recycled Water Ecosystem" won the Global Water Award, and 10 projects including "Low Maintenance-Short Process Village Water Supply and Drainage Purification Technology and Equipment" won the first prize of the Environmental Technology Progress Award.
The integration and innovation of eco-environmental technology and high-tech such as biology, new materials, and informatization, and the R&D and application of low-carbon technologies that meet energy conservation, consumption reduction, resource utilization, and collaboration continue to advance.
Progress has been made in the innovation of environmental service models, the effect of third-party governance of environmental pollution has been continuously improved, and EOD pilot projects have been implemented.
Industrial capacity has been continuously enhanced.
The eco-environmental protection industry strongly supports the construction of ecological civilization, serves the construction of a modern environmental governance system, helps to protect the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the marine environment, implements the overall planning of "three waters", and makes progress in ecological governance of river basins, advanced treatment of sewage and wastewater, and resource utilization The pace of ultra-low emission transformation in key industries is accelerating, and multi-pollutant collaborative treatment technologies are diversified; waste classification collection, harmless disposal, and resource utilization are accelerating, and the construction of waste-free cities is accelerating; ecological environment monitoring is increasingly "true, Accurate, comprehensive, fast, and new" to promote the improvement of comprehensive decision-making capabilities for ecological and environmental protection and the efficiency of environmental law enforcement and supervision; carbon monitoring, carbon consulting and other dual-carbon service capabilities have been further enhanced.
Market players continue to grow.
In 2022, there will be 14 new listed companies in the eco-environmental protection industry, and some environmental protection companies will continue to expand their business scale and broaden their service areas through mergers and acquisitions, and industry integration will accelerate.
Central enterprises and state-owned enterprises actively deploy the environmental protection market, participate in the construction of major ecological and environmental projects, and fulfill their social responsibilities.
Small and medium-sized enterprises strengthen core technology research and development and professional services, and develop towards "specialization, specialization and innovation".
Some enterprises have embarked on the pace of transformation and upgrading, opened up new business areas, and explored green and low-carbon markets such as new energy.
The industry has made significant contributions to stabilizing the economy and employment.
In the past year, the eco-environmental protection industry actively responded to the national policy requirements of "stabilizing the economy, stabilizing employment, and protecting people's livelihood", and continued to recruit fresh graduates.
According to preliminary statistics, since 2021, more than 100,000 college graduates have been recruited by ecological and environmental protection enterprises, which has accumulated technology and talent for the development of the industry.
At the most difficult moment in 2022, the majority of environmental protection companies still insist on no layoffs, less layoffs, no salary cuts, and less salary cuts, and they will tide over the difficulties with their employees and make important contributions to the stable development of the macro economy.
Guo Chengzhan said that in 2023, with the gradual implementation of a series of fiscal, taxation, financial, investment and other policies to stabilize growth and promote development deployed by the Central Economic Work Conference, the investment in the ecological environment field will have a more obvious increase than that in 2022.
Where will the eco-environmental protection industry go in 2023?
Guo Chengzhan believes that the first is green and low-carbon, expanding to a wider field; the second is improving quality and efficiency and advancing to a deeper level; the third is leading technology and moving towards higher quality; the fourth is system coordination and developing towards integration ; Fifth, service improvement, to professional and comprehensive development; sixth, model innovation, to sustainable development.
