Several chapters of this year's government work report involve energy, energy conservation and emission reduction, and ecological and environmental protection. Suote Hongfa (Beijing) Bioenergy Technology Co., Ltd. believes that these contents will have a positive impact on related industries such as high-efficiency low-emission stoves, boilers, and biomass briquette fuels.
At 9 a.m. on March 5, 2012, the Fifth Session of the Eleventh National People's Congress opened at the Great Hall of the People. Premier Wen Jiabao delivered the government work report.
Several chapters of the report involve energy, energy conservation and emission reduction, and ecological and environmental protection, and state that mechanisms will be established to promote the utilization of new energy, strengthen overall planning, project support, and policy guidance, and expand domestic demand. China Stove Network believes that these contents will have a positive impact on related industries such as high-efficiency low-emission stoves, boilers, and biomass briquette fuels.
In reviewing the work of 2011, the report pointed out: accelerate the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Vigorously cultivate strategic emerging industries, with rapid development of new energy and other industries. Promote energy conservation and emission reduction and ecological and environmental protection. Issued and implemented the "12th Five-Year Plan" comprehensive work plan for energy conservation and emission reduction, the work plan for controlling greenhouse gas emissions, and opinions on strengthening key environmental protection work. Strengthen key energy-saving and environmental protection engineering construction. Increase regulation of high energy-consuming, high-emission, and overcapacity industries, eliminating 19.25 million tons of outdated coke production capacity. Focus on strengthening independent innovation and energy conservation and emission reduction.
The report stated that this year, new progress should be achieved in industrial structure adjustment, independent innovation, and energy conservation and emission reduction. Continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy. Increase support for "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers," underdeveloped regions, scientific and technological innovation, and energy conservation and environmental protection.
The report stated that the transformation of economic development mode should be accelerated. Promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Promote the healthy development of strategic emerging industries. Establish mechanisms to promote the utilization of new energy, strengthen overall planning, project support, and policy guidance, expand domestic demand, and curb blind expansion of solar energy, wind power, and other industries. Vigorously develop high-end equipment manufacturing, energy-saving and environmental protection industries. Expand the scale of special funds for technological transformation and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
Promoting energy conservation and emission reduction and ecological and environmental protection is one of the main work tasks for 2012. The report stated that the key to energy conservation and emission reduction is to save energy, improve energy efficiency, and reduce pollution. It is necessary to promptly formulate and issue a work plan for reasonably controlling total energy consumption and accelerate the rationalization of the energy price system. Comprehensively utilize economic, legal, and necessary administrative means, focusing on key areas such as industry, transportation, construction, public institutions, and residential life, as well as thousands of key energy-consuming enterprises for energy conservation and emission reduction, and further eliminate outdated production capacity. Strengthen energy management, develop smart grids and distributed energy, and implement effective management methods such as energy-saving power generation dispatch, contract energy management, and government energy-saving procurement.
Regarding energy development and utilization, the report pointed out: optimize the energy structure and promote the clean and efficient utilization of traditional energy. At the same time, increase the proportion of new energy and renewable energy. Strengthen energy channel construction. Thoroughly implement the basic national policy of resource conservation and environmental protection. Carry out energy-saving certification and energy efficiency labeling supervision and inspection, encourage energy conservation, water conservation, land conservation, material conservation, and comprehensive resource utilization, and vigorously develop a circular economy. Strengthen environmental protection and focus on solving outstanding environmental issues related to people's livelihood. Strive to reduce agricultural non-point source pollution. Promote rural environmental governance.
The report stated that this year, monitoring of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other items will be carried out in key regions such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, as well as municipalities directly under the central government and provincial capitals, covering all cities at or above the prefecture level by 2015. Promote ecological construction and promote ecological protection and restoration. Adhere to the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and fairness, and constructively promote the international negotiation process on climate change. We must demonstrate through our actions to the world that China will never sacrifice the ecological environment and people's health in exchange for economic growth. We can surely forge a path of civilized development featuring developed production, prosperous living, and sound ecology.
The report stated: support the development of farmers' specialized cooperatives and leading industrialization enterprises, carry out various forms of agricultural socialized services, and improve the level of agricultural industrialization and organization.
The report emphasized: implement and improve policies that promote the development of small and micro enterprises, further reduce enterprise burdens, and stimulate the development vitality of technology-based small and micro enterprises. Promote the common development of various forms of ownership economy. Unswervingly encourage, support, and guide the development of the non-public economy. Improve and implement various policy measures that promote the development of the non-public economy, break monopolies, relax market access, encourage private capital to enter fields such as energy, and create an environment of fair competition and common development for various types of ownership economy. At the same time, deepen price reform. Improve pricing mechanisms for renewable energy and other energy sources.
