Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction at a Higher Level and Higher Quality (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). Relevant responsible comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission were interviewed on the Opinions and answered questions from reporters.
Ask: What is the background of the publication of the Opinion? Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have issued "Opinions on Implementing the New Development Concept Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively to Do a Good Job in Carbon Neutralization" and "Opinions on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development". The State Council issued important documents such as the Action Plan for Carbon Peak by 2030, the Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction from 2024 to 2025, and made a series of arrangements for energy conservation and carbon reduction. All regions and departments have thoroughly implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, conscientiously implemented the comprehensive conservation strategy, and steadily promoted energy conservation and carbon reduction in the whole society, and achieved remarkable results. The "14th Five-Year Plan" national energy consumption intensity and carbon emission intensity reduction targets have been successfully completed.
At the same time, we should also see that the current situation of energy conservation and carbon reduction in China is still grim, the energy structure is biased towards coal, the industrial structure is biased towards coal, and the environmental constraints are tight. The comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development still faces many difficulties and challenges.
The "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" period is the decisive stage to achieve the carbon peak. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has made arrangements to actively and steadily promote and achieve carbon peak, which puts forward new and higher requirements for energy conservation and carbon reduction. The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions, which systematically deployed the work of promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction under the new situation, clarified the overall requirements, key tasks and implementation paths, and provided a broader and more vigorous consensus for the whole society. It is of great significance to better play the supporting role of energy conservation and carbon reduction in promoting carbon neutralization, ensuring national energy security and achieving high-quality development.
Ask: What are the general requirements of the Opinions?
Ask: What are the key tasks deployed in the Opinions? Coordinate energy conservation and carbon reduction and industrial optimization and upgrading. We will strengthen policy coordination between energy conservation and carbon reduction, industrial planning and capacity regulation, strengthen incentives and constraints for energy conservation and carbon reduction, and guide the upgrading of standards, support the use of digital and intelligent technologies and green technologies to upgrade traditional industries, effectively control high-energy-consuming and high-emission projects, vigorously develop green and low-carbon industries, and strive to build green and low-carbon industries. Make sufficient space for high-quality projects that really need to be launched, and foster new green kinetic energy for economic and social development. Coordinate energy conservation, carbon reduction and green energy transformation. Deal with the relationship between energy conservation, carbon reduction and energy security, and speed up the construction of , we should scientifically regulate total energy consumption, strictly control fossil energy consumption, and promote the gradual peak of coal and oil consumption. Alleviate the contradiction between energy supply and demand from the source. On the other hand, we will vigorously develop non-fossil energy and new energy storage , and accelerate the construction of II." We will vigorously promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in key areas. In the industrial sector, we will comprehensively improve the energy efficiency level of key industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemical, chemical and building materials, organize and implement a number of industrial energy-saving and carbon reduction projects, and deepen energy-saving and carbon reduction in industrial parks. In the field of construction, we should strictly manage the energy efficiency of new buildings, actively promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing renovation of existing buildings, strengthen energy-saving and carbon-reducing management of building operation, optimize the structure of building energy use, and further promote the reform of heating metering. In the field of transportation, we should vigorously develop railway and waterway transportation, continuously improve the efficiency and greening level of highway transportation, promote the construction of green transportation infrastructure, build zero-carbon transport corridors, and promote energy-saving and low-carbon transport means. In the field of digital infrastructure, we will promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of infrastructure such as computing power, communication base stations and computer rooms, strengthen project evaluation, demonstration and source control, and support the development of green, low-carbon, intensive and circular computing power facilities. In the field of public institutions, we should promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of public institutions, promote contract energy management models such as energy cost trusteeship, and strengthen energy consumption quota management of public institutions.
Third, further strengthen the supervision and management of energy conservation and carbon reduction. First, strict review and evaluation of energy conservation and carbon reduction. New (renovated and expanded) industrial projects with high energy consumption and high emissions should formulate carbon emission equivalent or reduction replacement schemes when they are incorporated into the national planning layout and go through the procedures of approval, approval and filing, and the implementation should be taken as an important part of carbon emission assessment. The second is to strengthen the management of key energy and carbon emission units. Establish and improve the management files of energy conservation and carbon reduction in key energy-using and carbon-emitting units, strengthen the submission and examination of annual energy utilization status reports and carbon emission inventories, and strictly implement the system of equipping energy and carbon emission measuring instruments and building information systems. Third, strengthen the supervision of the whole process of energy conservation and carbon reduction. Regularly carry out tracking and monitoring of energy consumption related indicators such as coal, oil and electricity, and strengthen the comparative analysis of indicators in the same type of regions. We will strengthen supervision and inspection of the implementation of laws, regulations, policies and standards for energy conservation and carbon reduction by key energy-using and carbon-emitting units.
Fourth, strengthen the support and guarantee of energy conservation and carbon reduction. First, improve laws and regulations . We will accelerate the revision of the Energy Conservation Law and revise and promulgate the Renewable Energy Law. We will revise administrative regulations such as the Regulations on Energy Conservation in Civil Buildings and the Regulations on Energy Conservation in Public Institutions, and improve regulations on energy conservation supervision and energy efficiency labeling. Revise and promulgate the management measures for key energy and carbon emission units. The second is to improve the standard identification system. We will accelerate the improvement of energy consumption and carbon emission quotas for key industries and energy efficiency standards for key energy-using products and equipment. A number of national standards for energy conservation and carbon reduction have been formulated and implemented around new fields and new formats. Improve the green product certification and identification system. Third, strengthen policy support . On the basis of comprehensive consideration of energy consumption and environmental protection performance level, we should study and improve the differential electricity price policy in key industrial areas. Give full play to the driving effect of government investment. Deeply implement the government compulsory procurement and priority procurement system for energy-saving products. To study the establishment of a national low-carbon transformation fund. Fourth, strengthen the application of technological innovation. Strengthen key core technology research. Improve the market-oriented green technology innovation system. Accelerate the popularization and application of advanced and applicable equipment. Fifth, improve the ability of basic work. Optimize the professional settings and talent evaluation system of relevant disciplines in the field of energy management, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and improve relevant professional standards. Strengthen the professional ability training of energy saving and carbon reduction related personnel. We will improve the annual report and express report system for energy and carbon emissions at the national and provincial levels.
Fifth, mobilize the whole society to participate in and practice energy conservation and carbon reduction. On the one hand, the implementation of national action. We will continue to carry out activities such as National Ecological Day, National Energy Conservation Publicity Week and National Low Carbon Day. Party members are required to set an example and earnestly advocate and practice energy conservation and carbon reduction. Open channels for social supervision and actively publicize advanced models and experiences of energy conservation and carbon reduction. On the other hand, international cooperation should be strengthened. We will deepen international dialogue and practical cooperation in the field of energy conservation and carbon reduction. We will support trade in energy-saving and low-carbon products and encourage energy-saving and carbon reduction service enterprises to go global. Actively participate in the formulation and revision of international standards for energy conservation and carbon reduction, and promote international mutual recognition of energy conservation and carbon reduction standards and labels.
