"Green" becomes "golden", and the construction of beautiful Chongqing has taken a new step
In the depths of winter in Chongqing, the weather is getting colder, but in the Qingfeng Science and Technology Innovation City Cialis Phoenix Smart Factory in Shapingba District, there is a busy scene, and new energy vehicles are constantly moving from the production line to the market......
In recent years, Chongqing has resolutely shouldered the major mission of playing an exemplary role in promoting the green development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and coordinated the promotion of water control, gas control, soil control, waste control, plastic control, mountain control, shore control, city management, and township management, practicing the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and promoting the "double carbon" work in a steady and orderly manner, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Chongqing's energy intensity has decreased by 19.4%, and carbon intensity has decreased by 21.9% All of them have exceeded the goals and tasks assigned by the state, pressed the fast-forward button for low-carbon and green development, and made new steps in the construction of beautiful Chongqing.
Revitalization on the field of hope
It is the depths of winter, which was originally the season of farming, but in Wawu Village, Qiaotou Town, Shizhu County, it is in full swing - the machines are roaring, the construction workers are busy building houses, the villagers are planting flowers and grass, and the processes are being carried out in an orderly manner.
In accordance with the overall plan of rural revitalization, Qiaotou Town has completed dozens of infrastructure and cultural and tourism integration projects, such as Yuechuan Highway and Yangjiaozhai Highway, and the camping base, homestay, and Wawu-themed post office in Wawu Village, waiting for the arrival of tourists.
Relying on the advantages of ecological and agricultural resource endowment, Qiaotou Town has vigorously developed characteristic agriculture such as pepper, lettuce, rice, and rape by building a demonstration project for the integration of organic rice and rapeseed agriculture and tourism, attracting a large number of tourists to come for sightseeing and picking in the summer of 2023. In order to better meet the needs of tourists, the town's facilities have been upgraded and become the "spring" that the villagers are looking forward to.
Qiaotou Town is famous for its large farmland area, while Dashun Town in Fuling District is densely forested, and the ecological wealth here depends on the "forest".

In Baiping Village, Dashun Town, under the dense woods, reddish-brown Ganoderma lucidum grows towards the sun. Xia Hongbin, the person in charge of the Ganoderma lucidum planting base, told reporters that the forest ecology of Dashun Town is good, and the forest vegetation can shade and moisturize the seedlings of Chinese medicinal materials. This method of "restoring wild cultivation" of planting Chinese medicinal materials under the forest neither occupies farmland nor cuts down trees and vegetation, which not only protects the lucid waters and lush mountains, but also turns the green mountains into "golden mountains"
The cultivation process of Chinese medicinal materials requires a lot of manual planting, care and harvesting. This also creates an opportunity for the surrounding villagers to work at their doorstep to increase their income.
Rural ecological revitalization is the people's livelihood and well-being, but also a profound revolution in development, build a solid ecological barrier, make up for ecological shortcomings, develop eco-tourism, in Chongqing, the beautiful countryside of living and working in peace and contentment is gradually being drawn.
Rejuvenate the surging momentum of green
Eyes turn from the fields back to the modern city. Shapingba District Cialis Phoenix Smart Factory (hereinafter referred to as Cialis), the robotic arm rotates non-stop, here, intelligent and digital equipment replaces manual operation, and various assembly and manufacturing errors are controlled to a minimum to ensure stable quality control.
In the welding workshop, the fully automatic welding equipment not only does not need to be operated manually, but the whole factory is almost free of dust, pungent odor, and it is difficult to smell.
As a local new energy vehicle company in Chongqing, Sailis has also adopted a variety of energy-saving and environmental protection measures, renewable resources and recycling technologies to achieve zero emission and zero pollution, and ensure that it can truly meet the green environmental protection process standards.
Cialis is one of the epitomes of Shapingba District's steady and orderly promotion of "dual carbon" work and industrial upgrading, and the vigorous development of new energy vehicle companies has also provided surging green momentum for the local economy.
The new energy vehicle industry is emerging in Shapingba District, and the adjacent Chongqing High-tech Zone is also accelerating on the "new energy" track.

In 2023, Chongqing High-tech Zone will introduce 30 new energy muck trucks into use, becoming the first district and county in Chongqing to comprehensively promote new energy muck vehicles and achieve operation.
"The new energy muck truck has the advantages of zero emission, zero pollution, low noise, etc., even if it is operated in the middle of the night, it will not affect the rest of residents, and the safety is also higher. Luo Xueya, deputy director of the Ecological Environment Bureau of Chongqing High-tech Zone, told reporters that in order to solve the problem of short battery life and few battery swap stations for new energy heavy trucks, in July 2023, the "new energy charging + smart parking demonstration station" of Nongma Interchange will be completed, becoming the first seven-in-one demonstration station of "light + storage + charging + replacement + release + inspection + smart parking" in Chongqing, which can meet the needs of 180 vehicles charging at the same time and 8 heavy trucks being swapped in turn.
In 2023, Chongqing's industrial structure will continue to be optimized, led by intelligence and greening, and promote the cost reduction, efficiency increase, transformation and upgrading of the six high-energy-consuming industries. In the first three quarters of 2023, the proportion of the added value of strategic emerging industries in the added value of industries above designated size increased from 31.1% in 2022 to 31.9%. From January to October 2023, the city's new energy vehicle output was 321,000 units, an increase of 13.7%.
The spring of investment and financing
In July 2023, He Xiaoji, director of the production technology department of Chongqing Liangjiang Changxing Thermal Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Changxing Thermal), located in Longxing Industrial Park, Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, landed a big stone in his heart: the company cashed in a loan of 470 million yuan from Bank of China through the matchmaking of Chongqing's climate investment and financing "government-bank-enterprise" platform. This means that the company's energy stations, which are responsible for the construction, management and operation of combined cooling, heating and power, will have sufficient financial guarantees.
In Chongqing, there are many stories like Changxing Thermal Power that promote the high-quality development of enterprises or regions through green finance. In recent years, Chongqing has continued to increase the innovation of green financial products and continuously optimize the financial business environment, which has not only promoted economic development, but also expanded the market for the financial industry.
In Wulong, Chongqing Three Gorges Bank pledged the local carbon sink income right as a pledge to grant a five-year, 50 million yuan special loan to Wulong, which facilitated the final implementation of some areas of the Fairy Mountain reconstruction project;

In August 2022, Chongqing Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone was officially established, and Chongqing actively promoted the digitalization of green finance, improved the standard system, took the lead in formulating the national industry standard "Guidelines for the Service Process of Carbon Emission Rights Pledge Loans", participated in the formulation of three national industry standards including the "Green Project Library", and promoted the "Guidelines for the Evaluation and Management of Green Bills" The implementation of information disclosure requirements, the creation of a good policy environment, and the improvement of the market system have achieved remarkable results in many aspects of green finance development.
According to the data, by 2023, the number of key emitting enterprises included in the Chongqing carbon market will double to 308, the cumulative turnover of the carbon market will be 47.53 million tons, the balance of green loans in the city will reach 660 billion yuan, and the number of climate investment and financing pilot projects will reach 497.
Empower the transformation of green industries
In fact, green finance still empowers the real economy and helps the rapid development of Chongqing's green industry.
In Jianqiao Industrial Park, Dadukou District, Chongqing Sanfeng Environmental Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sanfeng Environment) waste incinerator assembly base is busy with production, testing, assembly and other links.
Sanfeng Environment is one of the key enterprises cultivated and built by the 10-billion-level ecological and environmental protection industry in Dadukou District, and the Jianqiao Industrial Park, where it is located, will be rated as a national green industrial park in 2023.
"Extending the chain and expanding the increment" is the "small goal" set by Dadukou District for the three key industries of ecological and environmental protection, big data and intelligence, and new materials. In 2023, Dadukou District will focus on the construction goal of 10 billion-level ecological and environmental protection industrial clusters, focusing on carbon neutrality, solid waste treatment and recycling of renewable resources, and new energy vehicle industry, focusing on solid waste treatment, ecological restoration, environmental monitoring, and the upstream and downstream of the new energy vehicle supply chain to attract investment. Up to now, the number of environmental protection enterprises in Dadukou District has reached 156, including 16 enterprises above the designated size and 12 high-tech enterprises, adding new momentum to the growth of the 10-billion-level ecological and environmental protection industry.
In fact, whether it is the environmental protection industry or green finance, in the final analysis, it is to enhance the "green content" and "gold content" of economic development.
In December 2023, the Economic Work Conference of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee proposed that it is necessary to seek a tangible carrier and effective starting point for further promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and promote the management of water, gas, soil, waste, plastic, mountains, banks, cities and townships in an integrated manner, continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment in the whole region, deeply implement green and low-carbon transformation actions, and continue to draw a beautiful picture of urban and rural areas.

The relevant person in charge of the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment said that it will actively focus on the central task of building a beautiful Chongqing, promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality in a rhythmic and step-by-step manner, strengthen the guiding role of carbon intensity reduction, and promote the gradual transformation of "dual control" of energy consumption to "dual control" of carbon emissions.
In terms of deepening the market-oriented reform of resources and environmental elements, China has deeply participated in the joint construction and maintenance of the national carbon market, improved the supporting policy system of the Chongqing carbon market, and normalized the verification, reporting and implementation of carbon emissions, deepened the reform of emission rights trading, freed up environmental capacity, and served to support the implementation of major projects, and established and improved the management mechanism and system of the "Carbon Benefit" platform to promote the value transformation of the "Two Mountains" on a regular basis.
In terms of continuously promoting the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, we will pay close attention to the implementation of measures and tasks, organize and carry out pilot cities and parks for collaborative innovation in pollution reduction and carbon reduction, explore the formulation of a collaborative evaluation index system for "reduction, reduction and expansion" and a collaborative innovation development index, and promote the creation of national ecological industrial demonstration parks.
At the same time, we will further promote climate investment and financing pilots, accelerate the formation of a "1+N" pilot pattern, guide funds to gather in green and low-carbon fields, and explore carbon finance businesses such as carbon forwards, carbon buybacks, and carbon asset management.
The endogenous driving force of green transformation and development has been continuously strengthened, and Chongqing's active exploration has also proved that it will unswervingly follow the path of green development, strive to build a green, low-carbon and circular economic system, and continuously broaden the path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into gold and silver mountains.
