In order to accelerate the green transformation of the development model, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments formulated and issued the "Energy Efficiency Benchmark Level and Benchmark Level in Key Industrial Fields (2023 Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition"). It shall be implemented from the date of issuance. The responsible comrades of the Industry Department of the National Development and Reform Commission were interviewed and answered questions from reporters.
Q: Compared with the previous ones, how has the Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition expanded the scope of application of energy efficiency benchmark levels and benchmark levels?
"Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" expands the scope of application of energy efficiency benchmark levels and benchmark levels. Eleven new fields including ethylene glycol, urea, titanium dioxide, and industrial silicon have been added, and the scope of energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading has been further covered to include areas with great potential for energy efficiency improvement, rapid industry development, and some light industries.
Q: What revisions have been made to the energy efficiency index values in the 2021 edition of the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition"?
Compared with the energy efficiency benchmark level and benchmark level indicators in the 2021 edition, the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" has appropriately increased the energy efficiency index values of some key areas, mainly in the fields of coal chemical industry, soda ash, and ferroalloy, reflecting the energy efficiency of these industries. The level follows the inevitable trend of continuous improvement and improvement in the development of the industry, and strengthens the restraint and leading role of energy efficiency indicators. At the same time, the energy efficiency benchmark level and benchmark level values of some industries have also been effectively connected with the industry energy consumption quota standards being revised, reflecting the characteristics of policy coordination and linkage, which is conducive to the long-term and healthy development of related industries.
Question: For existing projects whose energy efficiency is lower than the benchmark level, what requirements does the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" put forward for the time limit for renovation?
For stock projects with energy efficiency lower than the benchmark level, the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" requires all localities to guide enterprises to upgrade to above the energy efficiency benchmark level within the specified time limit, and eliminate projects that cannot meet the standards on schedule. For the previously specified 25 key areas such as oil refining, coal-to-coke, steelmaking and ironmaking, cement, glass, and ceramics, the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" clearly states that relevant work should be completed by the end of 2025 in principle; Alcohol, urea, titanium dioxide, industrial silicon and other 11 fields, in principle, the relevant work should be completed before the end of 2026.
Q: May I ask how the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" will be connected with relevant policies?
"Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" proposes to improve relevant supporting policies, make good use of the policy "toolbox", and play a "combined punch" of policies to accelerate the pace of enterprise transformation and upgrading, and improve the overall energy efficiency level of the industry.
The first is to strengthen energy efficiency supervision and assessment. For various projects that meet the scope of application of the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition", strengthen the daily monitoring and on-site inspection of project energy efficiency indicators, give full play to the role of energy conservation supervision, environmental protection supervision and law enforcement, strengthen supervision and management, and accelerate the implementation of energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of enterprises.
The second is to play the role of policy incentives. Give full play to the incentives of policies such as green electricity prices and fiscal and taxation, make full use of the medium- and long-term loans for the manufacturing industry and the discount policy for equipment purchase renewal loans, and implement preferential tax policies such as energy-saving special equipment, technological transformation, and comprehensive utilization of resources.
The third is to strengthen green financial support. Promote financial institutions to provide high-quality financial services such as green credit and green bonds to energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading projects under the premise of controllable risks and sustainable business, and effectively stimulate the endogenous motivation of the green and low-carbon transformation of corporate entities.
Q: How to implement the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition"?
The key industrial fields mentioned in the "Energy Efficiency Level 2023 Edition" mainly involve the textile industry, paper making and paper products industry, petroleum, coal and other fuel processing industry, chemical raw material and chemical product manufacturing industry, and chemical industry in the classification of national economic industries. Fiber manufacturing industry, rubber and plastic products industry, non-metallic mineral products industry, ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry, non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry, etc., which are further subdivided into 20 medium categories and 29 small categories , a total of 36 key areas, detailed down to the process level, to ensure clear indicators, clear basis, and precise policy implementation to avoid deviations in the implementation process.
In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will actively work with relevant departments to focus on these areas to promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation, and on the basis of the "Guidelines for the Implementation of Energy-Saving and Carbon-Reducing Transformation and Upgrading in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2022 Edition)" , organize research and publish new transformation implementation guidelines, sort out and propose green and low-carbon technologies in each field, mature and applicable technical equipment, and outdated process equipment that should be eliminated quickly, for your reference in follow-up work.
