At the recent national carbon market construction work conference, Li Gao, director of the Department of Climate Change of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that the national carbon market is running smoothly and orderly, and the trading price is stable and rising. Overall, the basic framework of the national carbon market has been initially established, and the role of promoting enterprises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate green and low-carbon transformation has initially emerged, but the policy tools to achieve the "dual carbon" goal still need to be continuously improved and implemented by enterprises.
Since China made a commitment to the international community to "strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060", the whole society has shown great concern about carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and more and more enterprises have begun to take action. However, there are still quite a few enterprises and employees in chemical parks who still think that carbon neutrality is far away from people's lives and has nothing to do with them. Others simply don't know why they want to be carbon neutral, let alone how to participate in it.
Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change. As the pillar of China's economic and social development, the effectiveness of low-carbon transformation of chemical parks affects the overall work of carbon peak and carbon neutrality in China, and is the top priority for China to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
According to public data, carbon emissions from various industrial parks account for 31% of the country's total emissions, and it is crucial to dig deep into the systematic role and integration effect of green construction and development of parks to achieve the established decarbonization goals of the country. Because of this, for chemical parks, whether it is carbon peak or carbon neutrality, it is necessary to form a benign social interaction, that is, the joint efforts of the park, enterprises and employees. The park has completed the top-level design, formulated "construction drawings" and "timetables", curbed the blind launch of high-energy-consuming and high-emission projects, and changed the development mode; Enterprises play the main role of carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality, increase energy conservation and emission reduction, and achieve green and low-carbon development; Employees actively participate in the action of carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality.
Achieving carbon neutrality is a daunting task with profound and transformative significance. The "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Circular Economy" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission clearly points out that enterprises in the park should be organized to implement cleaner production transformation. The park should actively use waste heat and pressure resources, promote the application of cogeneration, distributed energy and photovoltaic energy storage integrated systems, and promote the cascade utilization of energy.
As a key battlefield for the implementation of the "dual carbon" strategy, chemical parks play an important role in carbon neutrality, and should actively face the "double carbon" task, and must assume the important responsibility of low-carbon development of the park. Give full play to the advantages of the park's gathering of science and technology, industry and talents, increase investment in supporting enterprises in low-carbon emission reduction, and strengthen the transformation of green innovation; Introduce low-carbon industries, energy-saving and environmental protection industries, and cleaner production industries with low energy consumption, low pollution, and low emissions as the main characteristics, so that the regional industrial structure will be continuously optimized and upgraded, and the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction will be promoted.
The national carbon emission trading has been launched, and enterprises in the park should also have the courage to assume social responsibility, actively rely on the energy, raw materials, and waste recycling system in the park, tap the carbon complementarity potential between enterprises, support the research and development, application and promotion of low-carbon products, and stimulate innovation vitality, so as to reduce the carbon emissions generated by the production and operation activities of enterprises.
Under the goal of carbon neutrality, green and low-carbon is the inevitable choice for the transformation of the park, and the employees of the enterprises in the park are the main force in the production and operation of the enterprise and the direct creator of social wealth. For example, you can set the temperature of air conditioning and heating reasonably, turn off the power of electrical appliances in time, take more stairs and less elevators, and use more water. It is not difficult to put harmful garbage separately according to the signs, classify and put other domestic garbage, do not litter or put it indiscriminately, put reasonable suggestions for enterprise emission reduction, and carry out small reforms. As long as the enterprises and employees in the chemical park have the awareness of this aspect, can persevere in it, work together, and gather sand into a tower, the "double carbon" goal will definitely be achieved.
