Xie Zhenhua: Twelfth five energy-saving emission reduction policies are being refined

Abstract: Recently, Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated at an image opening ceremony that in the next five years, China will hold officials responsible for energy conservation and emission reductions, implement a number of key energy saving and carbon reduction projects, and eliminate the length of backward and resource tax reforms. In combination with other ways to help achieve the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" energy-saving emission reduction targets.

It is reported that at the national leading group meeting on climate change and energy conservation and emission reduction held on July 19th, the comprehensive work plan for energy conservation and emission reduction during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” was reviewed and agreed in principle, and energy saving and emission reduction in the next five years was clarified. The six important tasks. Yesterday, Xie Zhenhua gave more detailed decomposition and explanation of the many measures proposed at the meeting.

Xie Zhenhua said that China will determine the “12th Five-Year Plan” energy consumption and carbon intensity reduction targets in all regions, evaluate and evaluate the completion of local targets for energy conservation, emission reduction, and carbon intensity reduction. The results of the assessment will be announced to the society and implemented. Responsibility.

He disclosed that the above targets have now been allotted to all provinces, districts, and cities in the country, and will continue to be implemented in various industries.

If we say that the elimination of outdated production capacity is a short-term energy-saving emission reduction can achieve "immediate effect" measures, then deepen the resource tax reform and resource product price reform, is intended to solve China's long-term mechanism to promote energy-saving emission reduction.

Xie Zhenhua said that China will improve related economic policies, rationalize the relationship between resource prices, implement household electricity use, use water ladder prices, fully implement heat metering charges, increase the implementation of differential power tariffs and punitive tariffs, and deepen the use of financial subsidies. It promotes incentive mechanisms such as efficient energy-saving products, promotes resource tax reforms, promotes the implementation and improvement of tax policies for comprehensive utilization of resources, and increases credit support for various energy-saving and emission reduction low carbon projects.

Resource tax reform is currently only piloted in Xinjiang and has not yet been rolled out to the country. The relevant price formation mechanism for resources and energy products, judging by Xie Zhenhua’s speech, may be expected to make a breakthrough during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

Not only in the field of resource tax reform, but also in the development of low-carbon provinces, districts and cities, it is expected to continue to expand the scope.

In August last year, China launched pilot projects for low-carbon provinces and low-carbon cities. Guangdong, Liaoning, Hubei, Shaanxi, Yunnan 5 provinces and Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang, Baoding 8 cities have become the first low-carbon provinces and cities pilot areas.

Several pilot projects are also expected to advance during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. Xie Zhenhua said that in the next five years, China will improve laws and regulations for energy conservation, environmental protection, and climate change, promote the market-based mechanism for energy-saving and emission reduction, and launch a carbon emissions trading pilot. "To promote the construction of a carbon emissions trading market.

In addition, China will also implement the franchising of the construction of pollution control facilities, speed up the system construction of energy conservation and environmental protection standards, establish a standard system for front runners, promote the rapid improvement of the energy efficiency level of energy-using products, and explore the establishment of low-carbon product identification and certification systems.

In order to effectively achieve energy conservation and emission reduction during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the Chinese government has also formulated a package of ambitious "key projects" and "demonstration projects."

Xie Zhenhua said that the "key projects" and "demonstration projects" that have been implemented during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period have included: energy-saving renovation projects, demonstration projects of major industrialization of energy-saving technologies, energy-saving products, Huimin projects, and contract energy management promotion. Engineering and energy conservation management can build projects, supporting projects for urban sewage treatment and garbage treatment facilities, pollution control projects for large-scale livestock and poultry breeding, and thermal power desulfurization and desulphurization projects.
