Accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation, making the beautiful background of Shandong even more stunning
Chinese path to modernization is a kind of modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously. In recent years, our province has made unprecedented efforts to promote environmental protection and ecological optimization. Ecological environment protection has undergone historic, turning point, and global changes, and the background of beautiful Shandong has become even more beautiful.
The government work report proposes to solidly promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, and green growth, focus on improving the quality of the ecological environment, and enhance efficiency in accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation. Representatives and committee members discussed how to steadily promote the "dual control" of carbon emissions, fight for the protection of blue skies, clear waters, and clean land, and strengthen ecological construction and restoration.
Steadily promote the "dual control" of carbon emissions and enhance the "green content" of development
Realizing the 'dual carbon' goal is a broad and profound transformation. The report makes a series of deployments for the "dual control" of total carbon emissions and intensity.
The high carbon emissions and pollutant emission intensity of the "two highs" industries pose significant challenges to the regional resource, energy, and environmental carrying capacity. The report proposes dynamic supervision throughout the entire process of the 'two highs' industry, which is of great significance for promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction, "said Member Ru Gang, Deputy General Manager of Shandong Energy Group Co., Ltd.
Coal power is a typical representative of the "two highs" industry. The report proposes to shut down 2 million kilowatts of inefficient coal-fired power units and complete the "three reforms and linkage" of 6 million kilowatts of coal-fired power units. Ru Gang believes that this move is based on the fact that our province's energy structure is biased towards coal, which can optimize the energy industry structure, improve the clean and efficient development level of coal-fired power, and better play the role of coal-fired power in ensuring supply.
Reducing carbon emissions at the source and increasing the development and utilization of new energy are important directions. The report mentioned to promote the construction of the mudflat scenery storage and transmission integrated base in the saline alkali land of northern Shandong. Li Peng, the mayor of Shouguang City, introduced that the base has planned 8 plots in Shouguang. After the completion of the project, it is expected that the annual average power generation will reach 10.1 billion kilowatt hours, the annual output value will be more than 4 billion yuan, the annual standard coal savings will be about 3.35 million tons, and the carbon dioxide emissions will be about 9 million tons.
At present, 5 out of the 6 projects constructed in Shouguang Phase I have been completed and are expected to be fully connected to the grid for power generation by March this year. Next, we will focus on attracting projects and introducing a number of high-quality photovoltaic projects, while developing the new energy equipment industry to achieve integrated and clustered development, "said Li Peng.
To establish and stabilize new energy, we must not only tap into our own potential, but also seek external support. Representative Ren Zhigang, General Manager of Jinan Power Supply Company of State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company, believes that the key path for promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy structure in our province, as mentioned in the report, is to establish first and then break through. He stated that in the next step, we will adhere to the dual efforts of energy supply and consumption, accelerate the construction of a new power system, and increase the scale of "green electricity entering Shandong". We strive to increase the proportion of clean energy generation in Jinan's total electricity consumption to 25% by 2025, and the city's capacity to receive external electricity will reach more than 6 million kilowatts. The trend of green and clean energy supply will gradually emerge.
Carbon reduction also requires the use of carbon. The report proposes to accelerate the implementation of carbon dioxide capture and utilization projects. Doing a good job in carbon reduction and utilization is the direction of our enterprise's efforts, "said Wang Yanji, Secretary of the Party Committee of Luxi Group Co., Ltd. Last year, Luxi Group launched a new 200000 ton carbon dioxide liquefaction project, which achieved the recovery and resource utilization of carbon dioxide generated by coal chemical plants. This not only reduced the company's carbon emissions, but also brought good economic benefits. The pilot project of carbon dioxide to methanol technology jointly developed by Luxi Group and Southwest Chemical Research and Design Institute Co., Ltd. is currently being tested, which will make new contributions to the realization of carbon dioxide resource utilization and reduction of carbon emissions.
Promote pollution prevention and control in depth, and fight the battle to defend the pure land with blue sky and clear water.
A good ecological environment is the most equitable public goods and the most universal welfare of the people. The report makes arrangements for the protection of blue sky, clear water, and pure land that the people are most concerned about, and clarifies the focus of the next step.
"Focusing on improving air quality, the report proposes to complete the full-process ultra-low emission transformation of cement, coking and other industries, and strive to create environmental performance A- level for all qualified steel companies. This is a key measure to solve ecological and environmental problems." Representative Cheng Xuefeng, director of Jinan Gangcheng District, felt deeply about this.
Jinan Steel District is based on steel. More than 70% of the enterprises, industrial output value and tax revenue in the whole district are related to steel. In recent years, Gangcheng District has paid close attention to the key of ultra-low emission in the steel industry, fully serving the new and old kinetic energy conversion projects of Laiwu Branch of Shandong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and has invested 6.5 billion yuan to implement more than 200 environmental protection improvement projects. The whole process of the steel industry of Laiwu Branch of Shandong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has reached the ultra-low emission standard. The air quality in the steel city has also improved from the previous years to 83.3 in 2021.
"In the next step, Gangcheng District will continue to strictly control the' two high' projects such as steel and cement, implement ultra-low emission transformation of enterprises such as the coking plant of Laiwu Branch of Shandong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., promote green, intelligent and clean transformation of high energy-consuming industries, and guide industrial enterprises to strive for Grade A and Grade B enterprises with environmental performance." Cheng Xuefeng said.
The construction of a "waste-free city" has been listed as one of the key tasks this year. "'Waste-free city' is the focus of Weihai's construction of'exquisite city', and it is also the starting point for the realization of'green and low-carbon'. It is of great significance to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization and promote energy conservation and emission reduction." Representative Yu Xiaodong, head of Huancui District of Weihai City, said, "As the central urban area of Weihai City, we have built a total of 150 'waste-free cells' and 170 garbage sorting houses, which have successfully passed the provincial acceptance of' two clearing and one standard raising'. Huaxia City has been selected as the national 'two mountains' practice innovation base." Yu Xiaodong said that while Huancui District implements the fine management of "full cycle, full period and full coverage" in urban and rural areas with embroidery efforts, it should also speed up the development of green and low-carbon industries, introduce and cultivate a number of energy-saving and environmental protection projects, and encourage enterprises to develop and apply low-carbon new processes and technologies.
"To fight the battle to defend the blue sky, clear water, and pure land, we must adhere to scientific, precise, and legal pollution control, and promote the continuous improvement of the quality of the ecological environment." Member Song Jibao, Director of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, introduced that this year our province will focus on organizing a new round of "four reductions and four increases" effectiveness evaluation, promote the implementation of various arrangements for structural adjustment, and continue to explore and promote "environmental protection and development" Typical cases provide demonstration and reference for the coordinated promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth in various regions.
Strengthening Ecological Construction and Restoration, Building a Beautiful Shandong Foundation
A good ecological environment is not only the basis of sustainable economic and social development, but also the inherent requirement of high-quality economic and social development. Member Yang Yuechao, a professor at the School of Resources and Environment of Shandong Agricultural University, said: "The report focuses on'strengthening ecological construction and restoration', which reflects the provincial party committee and the provincial government's deep understanding and accurate grasp of the modernization of building a harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The people's yearning and expectation for a beautiful ecological environment."
Yang Yuechao has been concerned about the rural environment and development issues for a long time. "With the strong advancement of key area restoration and biodiversity protection, the environment of a considerable part of rural areas will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside will be promoted through ecological revitalization."
Afforestation and forest tending is an important part of ecological construction and restoration. The total amount of forest resources in our province is small, uneven distribution and low quality, and the task of protecting forest resources is arduous. In recent years, Xintai City has taken afforestation and greening as the strategic focus of ecological establishment, green development, and transformational development. It has continued to deepen the reform and innovation of the forest tenure system, and cultivated new forestry business entities. The city's forest coverage rate and urban greening coverage rate have reached 30.1 and 44.86 respectively.%.
"It's not too much to pay attention to afforestation and greening of homes. It takes year after year to plant green all the year round." The report clearly states that the province will complete 100000 mu of afforestation and 200000 mu of forest tending this year. Zhao Yongbin, mayor of xintai city, who is the chief forest manager of xintai city, said that the next step will be to continue barren mountain afforestation and forest tending, promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and make green a bright background for high-quality development.
Shandong stands according to the sea and prospers because of the sea. The report proposes to deepen the regulation of the blue bay and build a harmonious and beautiful sea of people. "The bay is the most representative geographical unit in the coastal waters. It is also a highland for economic development, an important place for ecological protection, and a sea-friendly resort." Representative Wang Fan, director of the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found in the investigation that Jiaozhou Bay and other bays have problems such as scattered ecological environment monitoring capabilities and backward technology in the bay area to varying degrees. He suggested integrating provincial and municipal marine ecological environment monitoring resources, upgrading monitoring technologies and means, expanding the scope of monitoring pollutants, improving the monitoring capacity of marine ecological environment, and building a "global marine ecological demonstration center" to ensure the health of coastal ecological environment.
