LOW-CARBON INDUSTRY, WHICH AREAS WILL FOCUS ON

 Industry is the main area of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Industrial green and low-carbon transformation is the key to achieving carbon peaks and carbon neutrality. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has deployed and implemented industrial low-carbon initiatives and green manufacturing projects. What is the current progress? In which areas will industrial low-carbon efforts be focused?

 At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the 13th, the Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiao Yaqing said that while optimizing the industrial structure to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and initially establishing a long-term mechanism for the withdrawal of backward production capacity, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is vigorously promoting industrial energy conservation, water conservation, and resource integration. Utilize and clean production, and improve resource and energy efficiency through green manufacturing.

 The data released at the conference showed that as of the end of 2020, a total of 2,121 green factories, 171 green industrial parks, and 189 green supply chain companies had been built. At present, it has explored the formation of a batch of green manufacturing and energy-saving transformation models with local and industrial characteristics.

 Intelligent transformation of the production line. Inspur Smart Factory integrates more than 2,000 sensors and more than 300 sets of smart equipment. Intelligent production reduces the generation of waste; uses fair-faced concrete materials and environmentally friendly construction techniques, and discards coatings and decorations. The Chongli Ice and Snow Museum project undertaken by the Bureau Beijing Company reduces a large amount of construction waste... These are all manifestations of green technology and green manufacturing.

 "At the Lenovo Hefei Lianbao plant, we optimize production scheduling through artificial intelligence, reducing a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions every year. By adopting a low-temperature solder paste manufacturing process, it can not only reduce power demand, but also improve production quality." Senior Vice President of Lenovo Group President Tong Fuyao said in an interview with reporters that Lenovo will promote green computing, green manufacturing processes and technology applications to help optimize raw material costs for industry chain partners.

 The development of green and low-carbon industries also provides support for energy conservation and emission reduction. New energy vehicles are the focus.

 Tian Yulong, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that my country continues to vigorously promote the development of new energy vehicles, establishes a complete industrial system that connects upstream and downstream, and breaks through key technologies such as batteries, motors, and electronic control. Among them, power battery technology is at the leading level in the world.

 Tian Eye Check data shows that at present, there are more than 120,000 data center-related companies in my country. Over the past five years, the number of data center-related companies has increased year by year. Driven by electricity, data centers have become one of the main sources of carbon emissions while becoming an important foundation of the digital economy. The promotion of "green computing" is a top priority.

 The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is accelerating the deployment of green and intelligent data and computing facilities, and clearly stated that it will take three years to basically form a new type of data center with reasonable layout, advanced technology, green and low-carbon, and the scale of computing power that is compatible with the growth of the digital economy. Development pattern.

 "We will make overall consideration of total emissions, emission intensity and industrial structure, handle the relationship between development and emission reduction, overall and partial, short-term and medium-term and long-term, and vigorously promote industrial green and low-carbon development." Xiao Yaqing said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with relevant departments. We will promptly formulate implementation plans for peaking carbon in the industrial sector, as well as implementation plans for peaking carbon in key industries such as non-ferrous metals, building materials, iron and steel, and petrochemicals, speed up the adjustment of key industries, intensify the transformation of green and low-carbon technologies in key industries, and increase green and low-carbon technologies. Supply of carbon products.

 In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also carry out major project demonstrations, select and promote a number of major industrial low-carbon technologies, and promote digital empowerment of green and low-carbon transformations in various industries.
