The 11th National People's Congress held a press conference on the morning of March 11 at the Great Hall of the People. Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that last year, China’s energy consumption per unit of GDP fell by 3.27%, and energy savings reached 89.8 million tons of standard coal, but energy saving and emission reduction The situation is still very serious. In the next three years, the task of completing the energy conservation and emission reduction targets during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period is very difficult. In respect of energy conservation, it is necessary to ensure that the average annual energy consumption per unit of GDP is reduced by more than 5%; in terms of emission reduction, the total amount of pollutants must be reduced by more than 7%.
According to Zhang Lijun, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Administration, the main obstacle for China's completion of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†emission reduction targets is the high growth rate of high-pollution, high-energy-consuming enterprises; some places do not pay enough attention to environmental protection, blindly develop, and pay in economic development. The cost is too high, and those projects that were blindly developed in the past are now showing unfavorable environmental consequences and problems. The grass-roots leaders in a few areas have paid insufficient attention to environmental protection, energy-saving and emission-reduction, and the adjustment of economic structure is insignificant. The progress of key pollution control projects is not fast; Environmental supervision and strength are not enough.
Xie Zhenhua said that this year, China will strengthen its assessment of energy-saving and emission reduction targets. The assessment results of energy-saving emission reductions for 1,000 enterprises in all provinces will be announced in March; in June, the State Council will also publish the results of the assessment of provincial governments, hoping that the media and the public will assess Oversee the implementation of the results; adjust the industrial structure, strictly control credit, land gates, energy conservation and environmental protection assessment, raise the threshold of high-energy-consuming industries, and curb the growth of these industries; increase efforts to eliminate backward production capacity, China needs to close this year. Stopped 13 million kilowatts of small thermal power, eliminated outdated production capacity of cement, steel, and iron by 50 million tons, 6 million tons, and 14 million tons respectively; focused on energy-saving and emission reduction of key enterprises and projects, and last year used to support energy-saving emission reduction and treasury investment 5.43 billion yuan, a financial special fund of 23.5 billion yuan, and has achieved remarkable results, this year China will increase investment in this regard; promote the development of recycling economy, China has established a total of 172 pilot units, through the pilot to further expand the scale of circular economy; Various economic policies conducive to energy-saving and emission-reduction make enterprises conscious and active through legal means and economic policies. Energy conservation; strengthen law enforcement and inspection efforts to mobilize the whole society to participate in energy conservation in the past.
