Made in China should be green to kinetic energy
In addition to the "three codes", some enterprises have an additional identity authentication - "enterprise green code". The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently announced the 2023 green manufacturing list, and piloted the implementation of the "enterprise green code" for green factories, quantitatively grading evaluation and coding of the green level, and intuitively reflected the position of enterprises in all green factories and the position of the industry to which they belong.
The announcement of the green manufacturing list and the implementation of the "enterprise green code" are to lead the improvement of the green level of the manufacturing industry. After obtaining the "enterprise green code", the green factory can show it to its purchasers, financial institutions, relevant government departments, etc., to prove its green development level. The "enterprise green code" is updated once a year, and the green manufacturing list released this time will be dynamically adjusted, with entry and exit. Obviously, this is to strengthen the gradient cultivation and dynamic management of green factories, establish a leading benchmark, guide green factories to continue to benchmark and improve their level, drive the promotion and application of green technologies, the collaborative transformation of industrial chain and supply chain, and promote green manufacturing to a new level.
Green manufacturing is the proper meaning of the development of new quality productivity. To develop new quality productive forces, it is necessary to follow a new growth path with low input of production factors, high efficiency in resource allocation, low cost of resources and environment, and good economic and social benefits. Green manufacturing is a modern manufacturing model, the core of which is to maximize resource utilization efficiency and minimize environmental impact. At present, the problem of environmental pollution is still severe, and green and low-carbon development is the fundamental solution to the ecological and environmental problems. China is still in a period of rapid development of industrialization, and the industrial structure has not yet crossed the stage of high consumption and high emissions. In order to break through the bottleneck of resource and environmental constraints and protect the beautiful blue sky, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly green manufacturing system, and cultivate a green background for high-quality development.
The development of green manufacturing not only has the "face" of low-carbon environmental protection, but also the "lining" of economic value. Compared with high-end and intelligent, the momentum of green transformation is often insufficient, and many companies believe that this is "losing money and making money". In fact, the application of green technology and green materials in the green manufacturing process can not only help enterprises improve the utilization rate of raw materials, reduce energy consumption and reduce costs, but also improve product quality, scientific and technological content and brand added value. More and more consumers prefer green products and are willing to pay for green innovation, and green consumption has become a trend. For example, in November 2023, the output of new energy vehicles and solar cell new energy products increased by 35.6% and 44.5% year-on-year, respectively, and the output of green materials such as ultra-clear glass and monocrystalline silicon for the solar industry increased by more than 30%.
In the process of improving the quality and efficiency of China's manufacturing, transformation and upgrading, greening and digitalization complement and promote each other. On the one hand, digital technologies and achievements can promote green manufacturing. For example, the interconnection of production and sales links and the input of data elements into production are conducive to reducing resource consumption and improving production efficiency, and the data collected after the digital transformation of enterprises such as energy consumption and carbon emissions can be automatically monitored and analyzed for energy conservation and consumption reduction. On the other hand, the convergence of digital and green technologies can lead to more new technologies. For example, the integration of digital technology and green energy technology has brought digital green energy and low-carbon technologies. In the next step, we will focus on promoting the application of a new generation of information technology such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and digital twins in the field of green manufacturing, which will produce more chemical reactions.
To promote green manufacturing, it is necessary to open up and reduce expenditure. Facts have proved that there is a lot of market space for green products. Taking the environmental protection equipment manufacturing industry as an example, the compound annual growth rate of output value in recent years is as high as 9.3%. Local governments and enterprises are more motivated to cultivate emerging industries with a higher level of greenness, greatly increase the supply of green products and services, and gradually build a full-chain green product supply system from basic raw materials to final consumer goods. At the same time, we should also pay attention to promoting the green upgrading of the traditional manufacturing industry, encourage enterprises to use efficient and green production technology and technical equipment to transform the traditional manufacturing process, and support the "fundamentals" of green manufacturing.
Only by going hand in hand, increasing and decreasing, can we effectively promote the high-end industrial structure, low-carbon energy consumption, resource recycling, clean production process, green product supply, and digitalization of manufacturing processes, so as to add more green kinetic energy to Made in China.
