(Observation of the two sessions) Aiming at the goal of carbon neutrality, how does China build a low-carbon economy?

  China News Service, Beijing, March 9th (Reporter Wang Enbo Shabin) As a member of the global village, China is taking practical actions to make its due contribution to the global response to climate change.

  China has previously stated that carbon dioxide emissions will strive to reach a peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

This year's government work report proposes to do a solid job in carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

  Aiming at this goal, how will China build a low-carbon economy?

At the National Two Sessions, the delegates and committee members gave out "keywords."

  "Adjusting the structure" is the most important task in the eyes of many people.

  "In recent years, energy transition and green and low-carbon development have become an unstoppable global trend." Hao Zhenshan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy general manager of CNOOC’s Zhanjiang branch, told reporters from China News Agency that we must continue to increase clean energy supply and accelerate Promote the layout of the new energy industry, promote the transformation of energy structure and green and low-carbon development, and help China achieve the "dual carbon" goal as soon as possible.

In this process, natural gas will become an important "transition energy" for renewable energy.

  Li Changjin, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, is optimistic about the innovative and integrated development of hydrogen energy.

He pointed out that hydrogen energy will become an important energy carrier for China to promote the energy revolution and achieve "carbon neutrality" due to its high combustion calorific value, zero emissions, wide range of sources, and controllable safety.

It is recommended to plan the national hydrogen energy development policy as a whole, effectively organize the coordinated and orderly competition of enterprises in the industrial chain, and lead the sustainable development of the industry.

  To better target the carbon neutral target, we also need to "set rules."

  Li Dongsheng, representative of the National People's Congress and founder of TCL, believes that a regulatory system for carbon information disclosure of listed companies should be established to benchmark the global ESG corporate social responsibility evaluation system. At the same time, this content should be included in the listing review standards to guide non-listed companies to comply with relevant laws and regulations.

  "Insufficient resource support capabilities and infrastructure construction have become the biggest challenges facing China's natural gas industry in the sustained, healthy and rapid development. It is imperative to strengthen the construction of gas storage capacity." Liu Ping, deputy general manager of the Second Division of Chemical Fertilizer, CNOOC Chemical Fudao Company It is proposed that a national-level unified and efficient gas storage infrastructure operation platform can be built, and all infrastructures can gradually be operated in a unified manner, open to the outside world, and fundamentally avoid disorderly competition in the market.

  At present, China's institutional mechanisms and policies for promoting green development are still incompatible, and a "strong foundation" is imperative.

  Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the China Development Research Foundation, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that the outstanding problem is that environmental governance and carbon emission reduction mainly rely on administrative measures, and the indicators are broken down to complete the task. ; To a large extent, green development is still a public product provided by the government, and it cannot yet become an economic behavior carried out by market entities such as enterprises and individuals in accordance with market principles.

  "Following this set of methods, it is very difficult to achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Even if they are barely achieved, they may be too costly and unsustainable." Liu Shijin emphasized that in order to better play the role of the government and strengthen At the same time as the top-level design, it is more important to establish the micro-foundation of ecological civilization construction where the market plays a decisive role as soon as possible.

Among them, it is recommended to focus on the establishment of a green account, and strive to make great progress on the micro-foundation of building an ecological civilization.

  As he said, building a low-carbon economy is not just a matter for the government, but companies also need to "take responsibility."

  "For technology companies themselves, promoting carbon neutrality is a positive manifestation of fulfilling their social responsibilities." Ma Huateng, representative of the National People's Congress, Chairman and CEO of Tencent's board of directors and CEO, introduced that in January this year, Tencent officially announced the launch of its carbon neutral plan.

Promoting Chinese technology companies to achieve carbon neutrality will encourage technology companies to strengthen technological R&D and innovation, and use carbon neutrality as an opportunity to force China's low-carbon technology transformation.

  On the one hand, focus on conquering low-carbon technologies such as the Energy Internet and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Technology (CCUS); on the other hand, through the integration of the Industrial Internet, promote the economic and social development in a low-carbon, green, and circular direction.
