To achieve the goal of new industrialization, to promote high-quality development as the theme, to cultivate and strengthen green productivity as the main line, to give full play to the strategic traction role of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, to adhere to the direction of intellectualization, greening and integration, to highlight value creation and capacity enhancement, and to promote industrial greening and green industrialization as a whole. Develop green manufacturing, expand green low-carbon industries, and lay a solid green foundation for new industrialization. The overall goal of the

Plan is that by 2030, the industrial structure and energy consumption structure will be further optimized, carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector will reach a peak, the efficiency of energy resources utilization will be steadily improved, the proportion of green energy applications will be significantly increased, the green manufacturing and service system will be improved, and the competitive advantages of green low-carbon industries will be consolidated and enhanced. The Plan puts forward seven anticipated targets, such as energy consumption per unit of industrial added value above the scale and carbon emission reduction.

Ask: What are the key tasks deployed in the Plan?

Answer: The Plan has deployed seven key tasks, which can be summarized as "implementing one action, enhancing four capabilities and improving two systems".

Implement one action, that is, in-depth implementation of the carbon peak action in the industrial sector. During the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" period, actively and steadily promoting and realizing the carbon peak in the industrial field is the primary task to promote the green and low-carbon development of industry. Under the circumstances that great progress has been made in industrial restructuring and green transformation, it is necessary to give more prominence to the supporting role of energy structure optimization in industrial green low-carbon transformation. The Plan deploys related tasks such as promoting the coordinated transformation of industrial structure and energy consumption structure, accelerating electrification transformation and green energy application, and promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industrial sectors. The

first is to enhance the green value creation ability of the industry. By promoting the green transformation of traditional industries, consolidating and upgrading the green superior industries, fostering and strengthening the green momentum of emerging industries, activating the endogenous power of green development, and promoting the green upgrading of the industrial system. Secondly, we should enhance the supply capacity of green equipment products, focus on supporting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, strengthen the effective supply of green technology, equipment, technology and products, and lead the green transformation of energy, transportation, construction, agriculture, consumption and other fields. Thirdly, we should enhance the ability of green low-carbon science and technology innovation, highlight the deep integration of green science and technology innovation and industrial innovation, deploy relevant tasks in accordance with technological research, industrial application, popularization and other links, promote R & D and innovation of key green low-carbon technologies, and promote the transformation and application of green low-carbon scientific and technological achievements. Fourthly, we should enhance the ability of intelligent and green integration development, adhere to the coordinated promotion of intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing, promote green manufacturing enabled by artificial intelligence on the basis of consolidating the basis of integration and deepening the application of integration, accelerate the reconstruction of production organization driven by digital intelligence technology, and accelerate the process of green transformation and improve efficiency. The

first is to improve the recycling system of industrial resources. According to the idea of implementing classified policies and highlighting key points, it is proposed to promote the efficient and high-value utilization of renewable resources, strengthen the large-scale and diversified utilization of bulk industrial solid waste, accelerate the construction of a new comprehensive utilization system of solid waste, and promote the conservation and intensive utilization of water resources. Second, we should improve the green manufacturing and service system, focus on promoting the quality and expansion of green factories, upgrading green industrial parks, improving the efficiency of green supply chains, vigorously developing green design, innovating and developing new forms of green manufacturing services, and polishing the "golden signboard" of green manufacturing.

Ask: How to organize and implement the Plan?

Answer: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology coordinates the organization and implementation, and strengthens the monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the implementation of key objectives and tasks. In terms of

synergy, we should strengthen the linkage between industrial policy and energy, science and technology, finance, finance and other policies, guide industry associations to play a bridge role between enterprises and governments, and promote green and low-carbon development in the industry. In terms of the construction of

laws and regulations, we will study and formulate relevant administrative regulations on the recycling and comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries, and formulate and revise departmental regulations on industrial energy conservation and carbon reduction, water saving, comprehensive utilization of resources, and restrictions on the use of harmful substances in electrical and electronic products. In terms of

standard construction, we should strengthen the pre-research, promotion and implementation of standards, and complete the revision of 500 industrial green low-carbon standards. In terms of

policy support, we should strengthen the docking of green financing, improve the incentive mechanism for green consumption, and expand government green procurement. In terms of

personnel training, qualified colleges and universities are encouraged to add green design, green manufacturing, hydrogen energy and other related disciplines, build a number of training bases for integration of industry and education, explore and develop new occupations related to green factory management, and accelerate the cultivation of green low-carbon management talents.
