Significant achievements in energy conservation and emission reduction

Energy-saving and emission-reduction is an important starting point for China to adjust its economic structure, change its development mode, cope with climate change, and promote scientific development. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the constraint indicators for energy conservation and emission reduction are that the energy consumption per unit of GDP is reduced by about 20%, and the total discharge of major pollutants is reduced by 10%. By adopting a series of measures, during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the energy consumption per unit of GDP in the country fell by 19.1%, the country’s sulfur dioxide emissions decreased by 14.29%, and the national chemical oxygen demand emissions decreased by 12.45%, basically completing or exceeding the “11. The goals and tasks identified in the "plan" of the "V" plan.

Significant achievements The National Development and Reform Commission recently stated that during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the State Council established a leading group for energy-saving and emission reduction work to issue comprehensive energy-saving and emission-reduction work plans, make decisions on strengthening energy-saving work, adopt enhanced target responsibilities, and adjust industrial structure. We have implemented a series of powerful policy measures such as the implementation of key projects, the promotion of technological progress, the enhancement of policy incentives, the strengthening of supervision and management, and the launching of national actions. We have made arduous efforts to achieve remarkable results in energy conservation and emission reduction. These results are concentrated in six aspects.

The first is to provide strong support for maintaining stable and rapid economic development. During the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, China’s average annual growth rate of 6.6% of energy consumption has supported an average annual growth rate of 11.2% in the national economy, and the energy consumption elasticity coefficient has decreased from 1.04 during the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” period to 0.59, which has eased energy supply and demand. contradiction.

The second is to reverse the trend of energy consumption intensity and pollutant emission increase during the accelerated development stage of industrialization and urbanization in China. The energy consumption per unit of GDP increased by 9.8% in the three years after the “10th Five-Year Plan”, and the total emissions of sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand increased by 32.3% and 3.5% respectively. During the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the national unit GDP energy consumption decreased. 19.1% of the country's total emissions of sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand decreased by 14.29% and 12.45% respectively.

The third is to promote structural optimization and upgrading. The proportion of advanced production capacity in key industries has increased significantly, and large-scale and high-efficiency equipment has been promoted and applied. In 2009, compared with 2005, the proportion of thermal power generating units with thermal power above 300 megawatts in the power industry increased from 47% to 69%, and the proportion of large blast furnaces above 1,000 cubic meters in the steel industry rose from 21% to 34%. The proportion of pre-baking tank production rose from 80% to 90%, and the proportion of new dry-process cement clinker production in the building materials industry increased from 56.4% to 72.2%.

The fourth is to promote the progress of energy-saving technologies. The energy consumption of key products in major industries has declined significantly, and the overall level of energy efficiency has been improved. Compared with 2005, thermal coal consumption for thermal power generation decreased from 370 g/kWh to 340 g/kWh, a decrease of 8.11%; comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel fell from 694 kg standard coal to 615 kg standard coal, a decrease of 11.4. %; The comprehensive energy consumption of cement has dropped by 16.77%; the comprehensive energy consumption of ethylene has dropped by 9.04%; the comprehensive energy consumption of synthetic ammonia has dropped by 7.96%; and the comprehensive energy consumption of electrolytic aluminum has dropped by 10.06%.

Fifth, the environmental quality has improved. According to the monitoring of air quality in 113 major cities for environmental protection, the proportion of cities reaching the secondary or higher standard in 2009 rose from 42.5% in 2005 to 67.3%; the ratio of inferior five types of surface water in the national water-control section of surface water dropped from 27% in 2005 to 18.4. %; The proportion of the seven major water systems in the national control section was better than the three types, rising from 41% in 2005 to 57.3%.

Sixth, it has made important contributions to coping with global climate change. The "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" adopted energy-saving measures to reduce energy consumption by 630 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.46 billion tons. This has won widespread acclaim from the international community and reflects the image of my responsible country.

The National Development and Reform Commission stated that these achievements have been achieved in China's economic growth rates that have exceeded expectations, the high-energy-consuming industries have grown too fast, the industry's heavy-duty trend has not changed, and the international financial crisis, the victory over the rain, the snow and ice, and earthquakes have caused many natural disasters. What was achieved under the circumstances was hard-won. Miao Wei, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, who is the largest industrial contributor, once pointed out that energy-saving, emission-reduction and green development are the focus of industry, and difficulties are also in industry. The "12th Five-Year Plan" period is a crucial period for promoting China's industrial transformation and upgrading from an industrial power to an industrial power. We must adhere to the new path of industrialization with Chinese characteristics, give full play to China's comparative advantages, and develop structural optimization, advanced technology, and clean and safe development. High-value added, modern industrial system that can absorb employment ability.

43% of the industry's GDP accounted for by China's economy. Industrial energy consumption accounts for more than 70% of the entire society's energy consumption. It is the most important industry that consumes energy and resources and produces environmental pollution. According to statistics, industrial energy consumption accounted for 71.3% of the total social energy consumption in 2009. Therefore, industrial energy-saving results are directly related to the completion of the “Eleventh Five-Year” energy-saving goals.

For this reason, industrial energy conservation has been placed in a prominent position. Especially after the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has been established, the development of energy-saving and emission-reduction work is more targeted. In 2008, the industrial added value energy consumption above designated size decreased by 8.43% year-on-year, 3.84 percentage points higher than the decline in energy consumption per unit of GDP over the same period. In 2009, the industrial added value energy consumption above designated size decreased by 6.62% compared to the same period of last year, which is the energy consumption per unit of GDP over the same period. The rate of decline is 3 percentage points higher. In the first three quarters of 2010, the industrial added value energy consumption of units above designated size decreased by 9.2% year-on-year, and is expected to decline by more than 9% for the whole year. The comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste has reached 64.3%, and the 11th Five-Year Plan has been achieved ahead of schedule. Industrial energy conservation contributes more than 80% to the completion of the "Eleventh Five-Year" energy-saving goals.

At the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, as the national economy stabilized and the industrial economy resumed growth, the growth of industrial energy consumption began to show a rapid upward trend. In 2009, the energy consumption of industrial enterprises above designated size decreased by 6.2% year-on-year in the first and second quarters, 4.1% to 6.5% and 18.7% year-on-year in the third and fourth quarters, and energy consumption increased significantly, resulting in the failure of all anticipated energy saving goals. The difficulty of completing the “Eleventh Five-Year” energy-saving goal has suddenly increased.

On May 5, 2010, the State Council urgently convened a video-phone conference on energy-saving emission reduction and proposed to further intensify efforts to ensure the completion of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" energy-saving and emission-reduction targets. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a national industrial system on June 11. The energy-saving emission reduction video-telephone conference put forward seven concrete measures to firmly fight for energy-saving and emission-reduction.

First, we must resolutely complete the tasks of eliminating backward production capacity; second, strictly control new projects in the “two high” and overcapacity industries; and third, vigorously implement energy efficiency benchmarking. It is necessary to take the benchmarking activities as an important measure to manage stocks and gradually expand them to all sectors. Fourth, we must earnestly carry out special inspections on the implementation of the energy consumption limit standards; Fifth, actively implement energy-saving and consumption-reduction technology transformation; Sixthly, as soon as possible; Establish an industrial energy conservation and emission reduction monitoring and early warning system; Seventh, it is a wide-scale mobilization of the masses to fight for a national tough battle of energy saving and emission reduction.

Industry is the largest subject of China's economy, and it is also the most important industry that consumes energy and resources and produces environmental pollution. Doing a good job of energy saving, emission reduction and pollution control in the industry is not only the focus of China's energy-saving and emission reduction work, but also the inevitable requirement of taking a new road to industrialization and accelerating the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.
