Energy consumption "dual control" beware of "one size fits all"

Since the beginning of this year, relevant central departments and localities have conducted intensive investigations to demonstrate the timetable and roadmap for "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality".

Since the beginning of this year, relevant central departments and localities have conducted intensive investigations to demonstrate the timetable and roadmap for "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality".

However, it is worth noting that, from provinces and cities to counties and districts, and then to enterprises, the energy consumption "dual control" task indicators are decomposed level by level, and the practice of strictly restricting "two highs" projects has also caused relevant departments and enterprises.

In this regard, the latest issue of "Lookout" News Weekly pointed out: Under the high pressure of "dual control", individual places are rushing to task and share indicators, which not only affects the survival and development of enterprises, but also interferes with the normal life of the people.

The most embarrassing thing right now is the projects that have already started this year, and companies are facing a dilemma.

The preparation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" for most chemical companies lasted one year, and the development direction and construction projects have been demonstrated several times, taking full account of the industrial policy orientation and enterprise resource endowment.

The development of the chemical industry has inherent regularity and relevance.

What's more, it takes time for enterprises to transform, and energy reduction and coal reduction should be done step by step.

In addition, to strictly control the approval and implementation of "double high" new projects, we must resolutely eliminate the original backward production capacity of various industries as the prerequisite.

To complete the task of “dual control” of energy consumption, it is recommended that local governments and relevant departments first balance the relationship between carbon reduction and development, transformation and safety, and reduce carbon consumption on the premise of achieving comprehensive modernization and high-quality development, and avoid “one size fits all”.
"Limit the launch of new projects.
At the same time, strict control of the "two highs" projects should not accidentally harm normal technological upgrades and optimization and transformation projects.
It should also encourage the industry to "advance the new and suppress the old" and "the big and the small" to vacate the old kinetic energy, small polluting projects, and low-end production capacity.
As well as the “cage” with high pollution emissions, the “birds” of new kinetic energy, large projects and high-end production capacity will be replaced, and the conversion of new and old kinetic energy will be promoted through carbon fixation and value-added, carbon reduction and efficiency improvement.
