In accordance with the deployment of the “Opinions on promoting energy saving and carbon reduction in key areas under strict energy efficiency constraints”and the “Notice on publishing the energy efficiency benchmark level and benchmark level (2021 edition) in key areas of high energy-consuming industries”, in order to promote the scientific implementation of energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading in key areas of high-energy-consuming industries, the “Implementation guide for energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading in key areas of high-energy-consuming industries (2022 edition)”is hereby promulgated, and the relevant matters are notified as follows.
1. Guiding the transformation and upgrading of enterprises whose energy efficiency is below the benchmark level, especially the benchmark level, actively promote the implementation of this guide, Green Technology Promotion Directory, industrial energy-saving technology recommended directory, “Energy Efficiency Star”equipment product directory and other advanced technology and equipment, we will improve the energy system, utilize waste heat and pressure, reduce emissions of pollutants, make comprehensive use of solid waste and transform public and auxiliary facilities, raise the level of green production processes, technologies and equipment, and increase the efficiency of resource and energy use, promote the formation of a strong domestic market.
2. Strengthening technological research and making full use of the innovative resources of institutions of higher learning, scientific research institutes, trade associations, etc. , promote energy-saving, pollution-reducing, carbon-reducing and synergistic green common key technologies, cutting-edge leading technologies and related facilities and equipment. To promote energy efficiency has reached or close to the benchmark level of the backbone enterprises, the use of advanced cutting-edge technology and equipment to plan construction demonstration projects, leading high-quality development of the industry.
3. Promoting agglomeration development and guiding key enterprises to make full use of their advantages in capital, talents and technology, and to carry out mergers and reorganizations in this field on their own initiative and on a voluntary basis through selection of superior and inferior products, replacement of production capacity, etc. , we will focus on planning and building large-scale and integrated production bases, raise the level of technology and equipment and the efficiency of energy use, and build a development pattern with a reasonable structure, effective competition and orderly regulation, no blind expansion of production capacity and low-level redundant construction in the name of mergers and reorganizations.
4. Speed up the elimination of the backward and strictly implement the policies of energy conservation, environmental protection, quality, safety technology and other relevant laws and regulations, as well as the guiding catalogue of industrial restructuring, to eliminate backward technology and production facilities that do not meet the requirements of green and low-carbon transformation and development according to law and regulations. If the energy efficiency is below the benchmark level and it is difficult to reach the benchmark level through upgrading within the prescribed time limit, the exit will be accelerated by means of market-oriented and rule-of-law.
