The National Two Sessions were held as scheduled at the key node of the successful conclusion of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the "15th Five-Year Plan" set sail. The draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan makes green and low-carbon an important part of special deployment. Based on the "dual carbon" strategy, this year's government work report clarifies the quantitative goals of carbon emission control, especially focusing on green and low-carbon transformation, and clearly proposes to "accelerate the comprehensive green transformation", "vigorously develop green and low-carbon economy", "cultivate new growth points such as hydrogen energy and green fuel", "actively and steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality", and "strengthen the clean and efficient use of fossil energy", which plans a clear development path for us to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of industry.
In 2025, China's industrial energy conservation and carbon reduction will make positive progress, cultivating 30 "energy efficiency leader" enterprises and 60 national green computing power facilities; the pace of clean and low-carbon hydrogen application in the industrial field has accelerated; The level of resource utilization has been significantly improved, with 142 new resource utilization backbone enterprises cultivated and the comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries for new energy vehicles exceeding 400,000 tons. The level of cleaner production has continued to improve, and 115 major environmental protection technologies and equipment encouraged by the state have been released. The green manufacturing system has been continuously improved, with a total of more than 8,000 national green factories and more than 600 green industrial parks, and during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the output value of national green factories accounted for 9% to 22% of the total manufacturing output.
Chasing the wind and chasing the moon, do not linger; at the end of the plains lies the spring mountains. Industry is an important area of energy consumption and carbon emissions in China, and the main battlefield for green and low-carbon development. Promoting green and low-carbon industrial development is not only an inevitable requirement for high-quality development, but also a major opportunity that must be seized to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization. We must strengthen the research of key green and low-carbon technologies, vigorously develop the circular economy, continuously improve the level of comprehensive utilization of resources, strengthen green and low-carbon industries, and continue to polish the ecological background of new industrialization.
To comprehensively promote the green and low-carbon transformation of industry, it is necessary to strengthen technological innovation breakthroughs. The key to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality in the "large energy users" industrial fields such as steel, nonferrous metals, petrochemicals, chemicals, and building materials. It is necessary to solidly promote the transformation of energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries, accelerate the research and development, promotion and application of energy conservation and carbon reduction technologies and products, especially strengthen cutting-edge technologies such as hydrogen metallurgy and carbon capture and utilization, and open up new paths for emission reduction for high-carbon emission industries such as steel and chemicals. Digital intelligence empowerment will also reshape the green production paradigm, promote the deep integration of 5G, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet, make the energy consumption management of the manufacturing industry more accurate, so as to achieve a leap from end governance to process control, and greatly improve carbon reduction efficiency.
To comprehensively promote the green and low-carbon transformation of industry, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive utilization of resources. First, turn waste into treasure. By high-value utilization of industrial solid wastes such as tailings, fly ash, and retired photovoltaic modules generated in the fields of steel, chemicals, and new energy, the "misplaced resources" are re-integrated into the production cycle, which not only alleviates the pressure of primary resource exploitation, but also opens up a new industrial chain. Second, reduce pollution and carbon emissions. Resource recycling itself contains huge potential for carbon reduction. It is necessary to reduce pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from the source through "metabolic symbiosis" between enterprises and park-level recycling transformation, and promote the transformation of production processes to intensive and efficient.
Comprehensively promote the green and low-carbon transformation of industry, and strengthen green and low-carbon industries. With its technology-intensive and resource-intensive characteristics, green and low-carbon industries provide systematic solutions for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. On the one hand, by vigorously developing energy conservation and environmental protection, clean energy and environmental protection equipment manufacturing, it can provide practical transformation technology and equipment for high-energy-consuming industries, directly support them to reduce energy consumption and emissions, and realize the cleanliness of the production process. On the other hand, expanding emerging green industries such as new energy and new materials can form a new economic growth pole. In addition, it can also drive the transformation of the entire industry chain to low-carbon by supplying basic products such as green fuels and degradable materials.
After walking through "thousands of mountains and rivers", it is still necessary to "trek through mountains and rivers". Comprehensively promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of industry is a protracted battle, and the clarion call for a new journey has been sounded, there is no "pause button" and bystanders, only "sprint whistle" and companions. We must anchor the goal with a sense of urgency that time is not waiting, work hard and work hard for a long time, comprehensively promote the transformation of green development mode in the industrial field, and strive to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality as scheduled.
