In October 2023, the "Opinions of the State Council on Promoting High-quality Development in Inner Mongolia and Striving to Write a New Chapter of Chinese-style Modernization" was released, which put forward clearer requirements for Inner Mongolia to build an important ecological security barrier in the north and promote green, low-carbon and circular development.
Seizing the historical opportunity, drawing a strategic blueprint, and embarking on a new journey of development, Inner Mongolia strives to create a new era of green, low-carbon and circular development, and achieve a win-win situation for beauty and development.
Interpretation——
How to promote green, low-carbon and circular development?
"For Inner Mongolia, green, low-carbon and circular development is an inevitable choice, and it is necessary to pay attention to different economic and social links at the same time, and coordinate environmental goals and economic goals. Ouyang Lina, an associate professor at the Social and Ecological Civilization Teaching and Research Department of the Inner Mongolia Party School, said.
The green, low-carbon and circular development economic system is an overall and systematic project. She believes that first, we must promote carbon reduction and emission reduction in the industrial sector. Improve the carbon management system of key industries, enterprises and parks, cultivate a number of green factories, green industrial parks and green supply chain management enterprises, and accelerate the development of low-carbon and zero-carbon parks. Second, we must implement a comprehensive economy strategy. Establish the concept of "saving is growth", promote the total resource management, scientific allocation, comprehensive conservation, recycling, cultivate a number of enterprises in line with the industry norms for the comprehensive utilization of renewable resources, build urban waste classification and recycling facilities, and implement a series of measures aimed at transforming the way of resource utilization, so as to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Third, we must broaden the way of ecological value transformation. Accelerate the promotion of industrial ecology and ecological industrialization, scientifically and rationally develop and utilize forest, grass and sand resources, and transform the natural resource advantages of Inner Mongolia dominated by forests and grasses into economic advantages.
Among them, industry, as the main body and core growth engine of the national economy, is the main battlefield for energy conservation and carbon reduction and green development. "Guided by the goal of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, we should build a complete green manufacturing and service system, transform in an all-round way, reform the whole process, reform the whole chain, and improve in all fields, so as to forge new advantages in green competition in the industry, and make green a common form of new industrialization. The relevant person in charge of the Autonomous Region Department of Industry and Information Technology said.
The natural ecosystem is the largest "carbon storage bank" and the most economical "carbon absorber", and it is also the biggest advantage of Inner Mongolia, which is of great significance for achieving carbon neutrality and green and low-carbon development. Hailong, deputy director and researcher of the Institute of Genetics and Breeding of the Inner Mongolia Academy of Forestry, suggested that it is necessary to improve the measurement and monitoring system of desert carbon sinks in forests and grasslands, focusing on four major ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, wetlands and deserts, and study carbon sink measurement and monitoring indicators and methodologies.
In addition, Ouyang Lina also pointed out the key points to make breakthroughs in promoting green, low-carbon and circular development in the future: strengthening scientific and technological support and accelerating the reform of systems and mechanisms in the field of low-carbon and circular development. "It is necessary to speed up the R&D, promotion and integrated demonstration of advanced technologies in the field of energy conservation and carbon reduction, and with the strong support of national policies, step up the creation of a national independent innovation demonstration zone in Hoh, Baotou and Hubei to promote structural transformation driven by innovation. Innovate the investment and financing system in the ecological field, encourage the issuance of green bonds, green loans, green investment and wealth management products, and promote market-based trading of carbon emissions. Ouyang Lina said.
Action –
Emission reduction and carbon reduction and carbon sequestration and sink increase are promoted in tandem
"It is necessary to pay close attention to the Damao Zero Carbon Park and make it a new growth point in the city. "Solve problems with innovation, break through the blockages with 'solution-oriented thinking', pay close attention to the Damao zero-carbon park, 'fight the battle' as soon as possible, grasp the growth point, and make bright spots in the formulation of zero-carbon park standards and the practice of self-powered power grids, and seek practical results." ”......
Following the "Opinions" proposed to "speed up the construction of low-carbon parks such as Huolinhe and Baotou Aluminum, and promote the development of Ordos Mengsu and Baotou Damao zero-carbon parks", in just over a month, Baotou Damao zero-carbon park has received a number of instructions from Baotou City and the autonomous region.
Taking positive action, the Baotou Municipal Government immediately set up a special working class, established a working mechanism, and repeatedly connected with the relevant departments and bureaus of the autonomous region to study and solve the difficult problems in the allocation of new energy indicators in the park, the construction of self-powered power grids, the expansion and adjustment of the park, and the guarantee of elements, and formed specific work measures. So far, Baotou Damaoqi Barun Industrial Park, one of the only two zero-carbon parks in the autonomous region, has entered the fast lane of construction and development. It is estimated that after all projects are completed and put into operation, the output value will be 57 billion yuan and the tax revenue will be 3.5 billion yuan.
At the same time, the demonstration project of green and low-carbon park in Baotou Aluminum Park is in full swing. Compile development plans, optimize new energy power supply lines, and accelerate the construction and transformation of green buildings... We will make every effort to build a zero-carbon "high-end aluminum" base and a national green and low-carbon park, with strong actions and pragmatic measures.
Reducing emissions and carbon emissions, and promoting the transformation from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions are the questions that must be answered in Inner Mongolia. As a major energy and chemical city, energy conservation and carbon reduction are also the top priorities for the warm-city Ordos to promote green, low-carbon and circular development.
In the past, Ordos has achieved remarkable results in green transformation: relying on the advantages of abundant renewable energy resources and smart grid systems, it has built the world's first zero-carbon industrial park, promoted the high-end, diversified and low-carbon development of the coal chemical industry, and realized the historic transformation of the coordinated development of energy conservation and carbon reduction and economic growth.
Today, Ordos resolutely shoulders its mission and is running at full speed on the road to accelerate the construction of a high-quality development pilot zone! "In the next step, we must build a policy system for implementing the dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions, establish a city-wide integrated carbon monitoring platform, and make every effort to strive for the national carbon peak pilot." Strengthen the exploration, mining and utilization of mineral corner resources, and build a national technical reserve and industrialization demonstration base for comprehensive utilization of fly ash extraction alumina in Dalat Banner and Jungger Banner. Plan the construction of waste dismantling projects such as retired power batteries, and strengthen the recycling of waste from emerging industries such as retired photovoltaic modules. Combined with characteristic application scenarios such as short-dumped transportation in coal mines, we will build a regional modern green and efficient logistics system, cultivate a number of clean transportation enterprises, and achieve steady and far-reaching green development. The relevant person in charge of the Ordos Municipal Development and Reform Commission said.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of the Autonomous Region, in the next step, Inner Mongolia will explore the formation of a number of replicable and promotable green and low-carbon development models, cultivate a number of green factories, green parks and green supply chains, and make every effort to promote the green and low-carbon circular development of industry through the implementation of five major actions: carbon peak action in the industrial field, energy conservation and consumption reduction action, water saving and efficiency improvement action, solid waste comprehensive utilization action, and green manufacturing action.
Emission reduction, carbon sequestration and sink increase are considered to be effective ways to cope with global climate change and promote green, low-carbon and circular development. While doing "subtraction" at the emission end, all localities actively explore "addition" at the absorption end, fully tap the potential of carbon sequestration and sequestration of forest and grass resources, scientifically and orderly develop forestry carbon sink resource products, and strive to build the most stable ecological carbon sink supply base in the country.
After the issuance of the "Opinions", the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of the Autonomous Region led a team to the Chinese Academy of Forestry, the National Academy of Forestry and Grassland Planning and other units to conduct docking research on the carbon sink development strategy of Inner Mongolia, and conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges on the development, storage and trading of carbon sink projects and carbon potential assessment. Kang Hong, head of the carbon sink work of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of the Autonomous Region, said.
At present, Inner Mongolia is carrying out carbon potential assessment work, further finding out the base of forest and grass resources with CCER development conditions, and making full preparations for the full opening of the national carbon sink market. At the same time, we should actively construct a forest and grass wet carbon sink measurement method system that is in line with the actual situation in Inner Mongolia and recognized at home and abroad, so as to realize that the carbon sink of forest and grass wet ecosystem can be measured, reported and verified. In the next step, we will strengthen the monitoring of carbon sink projects, actively carry out methodological research and filing of carbon sink projects, and provide more ways for forest, grassland and wetland resources in our region to participate in carbon sink trading.
Objectives –
Form a green and low-carbon production and lifestyle
"Accelerate the construction of the Ordos branch of the National Carbon Measurement Center (Inner Mongolia), and embark on a new path of green, low-carbon and high-quality development driven by the energy revolution. By 2025, the city's mines will be controlled within 600, the intensity of land development will be increased to 2.52%, the water consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP will be reduced by 10.4%, the recycling rate of major wastes will reach 65%, and the recycling rate of major renewable resources will exceed 85%. The relevant person in charge of the Ordos Municipal Development and Reform Commission said.
"Comprehensively considering the main function positioning, ecosystem distribution, and ecological product development foundation in various places, we will carry out pilot projects of ecological product value realization mechanism in Hulunbuir City, Xing'an League, and Chifeng City, focusing on the application of value accounting, path model exploration, and institutional mechanism reform, etc., and summarize and promote typical experience in a timely manner. Convoy said.
Seizing the major opportunity issued by the "Opinions", all localities and departments have set green development goals.
It is understood that in recent years, Inner Mongolia has adhered to the orientation of ecological priority and green development, actively promoted the transformation of development mode, and achieved positive results in green, low-carbon and circular development. Green and clean energy has achieved great development and leapfrogging, the scale of wind and solar grid connection is the first in the country, more than one-third of the installed power capacity and more than one-fifth of the electricity consumption of the whole society come from new energy, and the country's largest new energy industrial base is gradually taking shape. Since the "14th Five-Year Plan", the region has freed up more than 11 million tons of standard coal and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than 26 million tons. A total of 300 industrial green transformation projects have been implemented, saving a total of 15 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 30 million tons.
"Through the implementation of a series of measures to reduce carbon emissions, improve quality and efficiency in the "Opinions", by 2025, the management system of dual control of energy consumption will be further improved, and the unit consumption of products in key industries will strive to reach the advanced value or benchmark value of the national energy consumption quota standard, and the green and low-carbon production and lifestyle will be basically formed, so that the new path of high-quality development of Inner Mongolia's ecological priority and green development will be full of green background. Ouyang Lina said.
Ouyang Lina pointed out that to promote the development of green and low-carbon cycles, it is also necessary to establish the concept of green and low-carbon recycling in the whole society, and vigorously advocate a simple and moderate, green consumption, and low-carbon travel lifestyle, so that everyone can become a green and low-carbon practitioner.
