Development and Reform Commission brewing low-carbon standards

The website of the National Development and Reform Commission was announced on August 10. The committee issued the "Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission on Launching the Pilot Work of Low-Carbon Provinces and Low-Carbon Cities" on July 19. According to this notice, Guangdong, Liaoning, Hubei, Shaanxi, Yunnan, five provinces and Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang, and Baoding, the eight cities will be the first to carry out low-carbon pilot work.

The pilot work in these provinces and cities includes five specific tasks: the preparation of low-carbon development plans, the formulation of supporting policies to support low-carbon green development, the acceleration of the establishment of an industrial system featuring low-carbon emissions, and the establishment of statistics and management systems for greenhouse gas emissions data. Actively promote low-carbon green lifestyles and consumption patterns.

The notice stated that the low-carbon pilot work has a bearing on the overall economic and social development. Therefore, the pilot areas must establish a working mechanism in which the main leaders are responsible for grasping the general work. They must also hurry to work out a work implementation plan and submit it to the National Development and Reform Commission by August 31. Moreover, the National Development and Reform Commission will establish a contact mechanism with the development and reform departments of the pilot areas to evaluate the progress of the pilots on a regular basis.

This is already the sixth substantive action for energy saving and emission reduction issued by relevant national functional departments since August. In particular, on August 3, the National Bureau of Statistics, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly announced that after the energy consumption per unit of GDP in the first half of the year rose by 0.09% year-on-year, various emission reduction policies could come to an end.

On August 6, three days later, the six departments including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, and the National Energy Administration issued a joint report on the immediate organization of national electricity prices. The notice of the “Great Inspection” announced that as of July 14th, 22 provinces, districts and cities nationwide that implemented preferential tariffs for high-energy-consuming enterprises had all issued documents to cancel local preferential tariffs. All high energy-consuming companies are now implementing new ones. Differential pricing policy.

On August 8, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced to the public iron and steelmaking, steelmaking, coke, ferroalloy, calcium carbide, electrolytic aluminum, copper smelting, lead smelting, zinc smelting, cement, glass, paper, alcohol, monosodium glutamate, and lemon. Twenty-eight industrial sectors including acid, leather, printing and dyeing, chemical fiber and other 2087 industrial enterprises eliminated the list of backward production capacity companies and required that their backward production capacity must be shut down before the third quarter of this year.

On August 11th, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Finance jointly announced the second batch of promotion catalogues of energy-saving vehicles for energy-saving products.

Together with the first batch of energy-saving vehicle promotion catalogues announced on August 1st, the energy-saving emission reduction has become a major focus of national work.

At the 2010 China Low Carbon Development Forum held on the 18th, Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, revealed that China will adopt a series of positive policies and measures in the future, vigorously eliminating backward production capacity, implementing ten key energy conservation projects, and solidly promoting energy conservation. Emission reduction work.

Xie Zhenhua said that to complete the "Eleventh Five-Year" task, the situation is very serious, leaving only 3 months. From the situation of the previous four years, there is still a gap between the amount of tasks we have completed and the schedule of time. In particular, in the first quarter of this year, the energy consumption per unit of GDP increased by 3.2%. In order to achieve all the goals of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, it is necessary to make up for the emission reductions that have been delayed in the past, and also to increase this part of this year’s growth. Eat, can only make heavy lifting to promote energy-saving emission reduction work.

Zhou Changyi, Director of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, disclosed at the meeting that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is advancing a number of tasks to ensure the promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction.

First, vigorously carry out the transformation of low-carbon technology in traditional industries. According to him, currently China's industrial energy consumption accounts for 71.3% of the total society, and the potential for energy saving is still great.

Second, adopt a series of comprehensive measures to accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity. For instance, the announcement of eliminating the list of backward production capacity companies is part of this work.

Third, we must pay close attention to the management of energy conservation and consumption reduction of enterprises, and establish a series of energy management systems to impose requirements on the energy management of enterprises.

Fourth, we will promote the energy efficiency of key industries and key enterprises to meet the standards, and take the international advanced level as the standard to identify gaps and propose measures. Zhou Changyi stated that he wants to learn the Japanese leader system. This system requires that all companies must be transformed within six to eight years to reach the advanced level of the industry in energy conservation and emission reduction.

Fifth, organize the evaluation and application research of energy-saving and emission reduction projects in key industries, study and formulate advanced application catalogs for energy-saving and emission reduction in key industries and special plans for the promotion of key energy-saving technologies, publish energy-saving electromechanical equipment product recommendation catalogs and high energy-consuming backward electromechanical equipment Product elimination directory.

Sixth, we will vigorously develop a recycling economy, focusing on the regeneration of non-ferrous metal utilization plans and improving the level of resource recycling.

In addition, measures to reduce emissions for the people may also be introduced in the near future. According to Zhu Chengzhang, executive director of the China Energy Research Association and deputy director of the Department of Policy and Regulation of the Ministry of Energy, due to the severe energy conservation and emission reduction situation now and the “12th Five-Year Plan” may have higher energy-saving and emission-reduction targets, it is It is possible and necessary to have a series of energy-saving and emission reduction policies. "For example, the price of residential electricity ladder is expected to be introduced in the second half of the year." He told the "Economic Information Daily" reporter.

National Development and Reform Commission brewing as soon as possible the introduction of low-carbon standards

The pressure of reducing emissions has gradually increased. Five provinces and eight cities have taken the lead in becoming pilots of emissions reductions in their respective regions and related policy initiatives.

The National Development and Reform Commission recently revealed that China will first develop low-carbon industries, build low-carbon cities in Guangdong, Liaoning, Hubei, Shaanxi, Yunnan, five provinces and Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang and Baoding. Low-carbon life pilot work.

Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview with the reporter of the First Financial Daily yesterday that the pilot provinces and cities were self-declared by various localities, and then they chose to cover all areas of the country as pilot sites.

Is there any specific standard for low carbon?

Xie Zhenhua said that the National Development and Reform Commission is currently studying the formulation of low-carbon standards and is striving to introduce them as soon as possible. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the country will also formulate indicators for the rate of resource output.

Yesterday morning, Xie Zhenhua stated at the 2010 China Low Carbon Development Forum held in Beijing that the National Development and Reform Commission started the pilot work of low-carbon provinces and low-carbon cities, which is to exert enthusiasm, initiative, creativity, and explore Chinese characteristics. The low-carbon development model.

“The pilot does not mean that the provinces and cities selected for the pilot are doing better than other places in low-carbon work, but require all localities to re-plan and design local development goals in accordance with the requirements of low carbon,” Xie Zhenhua said.

Xie Zhenhua proposed the same point of view on the “Pilot Meeting for Low-Carbon Provinces and Cities” held in the afternoon and stated that the establishment of a low-carbon region is a long-term task and needs long-term exploration. Therefore, the National Development and Reform Commission has specific content for the pilot program. Arrangements and deployment of the work phase do not require specific requirements. Localities can give full play to their initiative and creativity, but the emphasis should be on highlighting the work arrangements and objectives and tasks for the next few years, especially during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

The reporter learned that the preliminary drafts of the low-carbon development plans for all the pilot regions have generally been completed. Implementation plans in some regions have begun to solicit opinions widely.

According to Zhu Xiaodan, executive deputy governor of Guangdong Province, Guangdong's pilot preliminary plan for a national low-carbon province will be promoted in the following stages:

Preparation stage: From August to the end of this year, the pilot scheme and ideas for low-carbon provinces will be improved as soon as possible. The implementation plan for the implementation of a pilot project for low-carbon provinces in Guangdong Province will be submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission for approval. At the same time, the list of greenhouse gas emissions in Guangdong Province will be established and the establishment of low levels Special funds for carbon development, study and establish evaluable systems and indicators for greenhouse gas emissions.

Start-up phase: It is planned to be completed in the whole year of 2011. It will organize the pilot related work, carry out a batch of low-carbon development demonstration projects across the province, study and establish a decomposition plan for greenhouse gas emission indicators, and establish a carbon certification and other low-carbon certification systems.

Deepening stage: For the whole year of 2012, the main tasks include comprehensively advancing low-carbon development, paying close attention to the construction of low-carbon demonstration provinces, striving to establish a preliminary market mechanism for greenhouse gas emission reduction in the province, and continuously improve and promote the specification of low-carbon pilot sites. .

"Through the first half of 2013, we will summarize the pilot work and study the next steps for development," said Zhu Xiaodan.

In an interview with this reporter, Su Wei, Director of the Department of Climate Change at the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the pilot policy will be gradually introduced during the exploration process.

Tong Xiaoping, vice mayor of Chongqing, suggested that an integrated pilot program should be established at the beginning of the pilot project, such as low-carbon standards, demonstration projects, and low-carbon support policies. "If the three systems are linked, there will be a specific starting point for the pilot work."

Da Mo Huaxin: Low Carbon Expected to Bring Revaluation of Resource Prices

Da Mo Huaxin believes that low-carbon or will bring about re-evaluation of resource prices and increase the value of related companies, which contains the opportunity worthy of attention.

In response to global warming, environmental pollution, and resource bottlenecks, the world has advocated low carbon. Da Mo Huaxin believes that the rapid development of low carbon, its impact on resource prices can not be ignored, or will bring about revaluation of resource prices.

Da Mo Huaxin pointed out that low-carbon green GDP is the development target, and clean use, traditional high-efficiency emission reduction, and the establishment of carbon emission rights will become innovations. In the current technological conditions, cleanliness and traditional high-efficiency emission reductions will inevitably bring about an overall increase in costs. Newly-launched costs for wind, solar, bioenergy, and nuclear power will be higher than traditional ones, and high-efficiency emission reduction technology research and development will inevitably be spread over traditional ones. The cost goes. More importantly, the establishment of carbon emission rights means that traditional enterprises will face high costs and their barriers will increase significantly. The increase in costs will inevitably be transmitted to the price of goods. The revaluation of product prices will also increase the value of related companies: For cleaner suppliers, it is mainly reflected in the increase in the price of clean products, and the long-term improvement in earnings after the weakening of traditional competitiveness; for traditional suppliers, integration or unavoidable, technology research and development, and funding Strength highlights the company, its value is increased with the increase of concentration, and the exit of competitors is improved; and the establishment of carbon emission rights will also bring new development space for carbon recycling companies, and will also bring about revaluation of forest resources. The opportunities brought about by the low-carbon process deserve close attention.
