"You can't throw the guy who eats in your hand first"

Steady and steady, take our responsibility in ensuring energy security (practice entrustment for ten years)

　　As an important national energy and strategic resource base, Inner Mongolia plays an important role in ensuring my country's energy security.

　　This year, General Secretary Xi Jinping paid great attention to the topic of local energy development when he participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation.

　　During the deliberation, Jia Runan, a representative from Baotou Coal Chemical Company of National Energy Group, made a speech entitled "Promoting the high-end, diversified and low-carbon development of the coal chemical industry, and helping carbon reach its peak and carbon neutrality".

The general secretary was very touched.

　　In the fall of 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping announced a "timetable" for peaking carbon neutrality.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" period is the critical period and window period for carbon peaking.

Jia Runan has been dealing with energy for half his life and knows how much change this step of transformation will bring to traditional energy companies: "The 'two-carbon' goal is both a challenge and an opportunity for companies, and it is also a responsibility."

　　Seizing the opportunity and changing with the trend has become a broad consensus in the energy industry.

But how?

First stand and then break, or first break and then stand?

Different sorts have different effects.

　　Jia Runan is still fresh in his memory of General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest admonitions at the National People's Congress this year.

　　"The general secretary said, 'You can't throw away the guy who eats in your hand first, and as a result, you haven't got the new guy who eats it. That's not good. We must have a green and clean environment, and we must also ensure that our production and life are carried out normally.' This It pointed out the steps and pace of energy development and transformation for us, and the direction is more clear, all we have to do is to roll up our sleeves and do it well.”

　　Science and technology help green transformation, and the path of clean and efficient utilization of coal is getting wider and wider.

Take Baotou Coal Chemical Company of National Energy Group as an example, a set of numbers is exciting: "Through the new products developed through the clean utilization of coal, the comprehensive utilization rate of raw coal has increased to more than 30%; The flue gas is 'ultra-low emission', and the water consumption per ton of product is reduced from 26 tons to 16 tons."

　　These changes are a vivid portrayal of the transformation of Inner Mongolia's energy development.

"Ensuring national energy security is a major responsibility that Inner Mongolia must perform well. We will adhere to the principles of sound and orderly and safe carbon reduction, and on the premise of ensuring a safe and stable supply of energy and a smooth transition in energy structure adjustment, we will steadily and orderly promote the 'dual carbon' work," said Chen Zheng, deputy director of the Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

　　In the development plan of Inner Mongolia, it is written as follows: During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the coal production capacity will be dynamically stabilized at about 1.3 billion tons.

This also means that Inner Mongolia will make greater efforts to optimize the coal industry structure and release advanced coal production capacity in an orderly manner.

　　"'Achieving the goal of reaching carbon peaks and carbon neutrality must be unswerving, but it cannot be accomplished in one battle. We must insist on making progress while maintaining stability and gradually realize it.' We keep in mind the general secretary's entrustment, and unswervingly take ecological priority and green development as our goals. A new path of high-quality development oriented, anchoring the direction steadily." said Zhang Shaochun, vice chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

　　Steady words at the head, seek progress in stability.

　　Green transition is a profound change that concerns the overall situation and the future.

Looking at the whole country, while the work of ensuring energy supply and stabilizing prices is steadily advancing, technological innovation is actively empowering the energy field, and it is constantly writing a major issue of overall development and security.
