China puts forward three main tasks for the "Twelfth Five-Year" energy saving and emission reduction

Recently, the State Council issued the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction, and proposed three major tasks to make specific deployment and requirements for pollution reduction in China.

According to the person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the "Planning" and the State Council's "Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan" are linked and the emission reduction targets that can be achieved under feasible technical and economic conditions are proposed. The overall goal is: By 2015, the total chemical oxygen demand and total sulfur dioxide emissions in the country will be controlled at 23.376 million tons and 20.864 million tons respectively, which is lower than the 25.517 million tons and 22.678 million tons in 2010. 8%, respectively, new reduction capacity of 6.01 million tons, 6.54 million tons; the country's total ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxide emissions were respectively controlled at 2.38 million tons, 204.62 million tons, compared with 2.484 million tons in 2010, 2273. Each of the 60,000 tons will be reduced by 10%, with an additional reduction of 690,000 tons and 7.94 million tons respectively.

The "Planning" put forward three main tasks for energy conservation and emission reduction during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period.

First, adjust and optimize the industrial structure. Raise access thresholds for new projects such as energy saving and environmental protection; strictly control exports of high energy consumption, high emissions, and resource-based products; consider total energy consumption and total discharge of pollutants as an important basis for assessment and environmental assessment, and for electricity and steel , papermaking, printing and dyeing industries to implement the total amount of major pollutants emission control, the new construction and expansion projects to implement the same amount of emission reduction or reduction; strictly implement the industrial structure adjustment requirements, focus on elimination of small thermal power 20 million kilowatts, iron production capacity of 48 million tons , The steelmaking capacity is 48 million tons, the cement production capacity is 370 million tons, the coke production capacity is 42 million tons, and the papermaking capacity is 15 million tons.

The second is to strengthen pollution control in key areas. We will further expand the construction of urban sewage treatment facilities, reduce the coverage of pollutants emission in key industries, and increase environmental protection standards and control requirements. Strengthen the control of pollution from agricultural sources and the emission control of motor vehicles. Vigorously promote the treatment of atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5).

The third is to strengthen the construction of pollution reduction capacity. Establish a county-level pollution source monitoring center, strengthen monitoring of pollution sources, improve the online monitoring network of regional pollution sources, establish emission reduction monitoring databases and achieve data sharing. Strengthen the statistical monitoring of ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxides, improve the monitoring of agricultural source pollution and the ability of motor vehicle pollution monitoring. We will promote the standardization of emission reduction regulatory agencies and the building of law enforcement capabilities, and strengthen provincial, city, and county emission reduction monitoring and forensic equipment and pollutant emission testing and analysis equipment.

China Clears Five Key Projects of "12th Five-Year Plan" for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction
The State Council of the People's Republic of China recently issued the “12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction”, which set clear tasks and requirements for energy-saving and emission reduction in related fields and industries, focusing on the refinement of energy-saving emission reduction measures and targets for key industries and key areas. Quantitatively, the key pollutant discharge reduction projects in five areas, including urban sewage treatment facilities and supporting pipe network construction, have been identified.

According to the person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the "Planning" put forward specific target requirements for key industrial industries with heavy reduction tasks, life pollution of urban residents, and agricultural pollution sources. Requiring a 16% reduction in sulfur dioxide in the thermal power industry, a 29% reduction in nitrogen oxides, a 27% reduction in sulfur dioxide in the steel industry, and a 10% reduction in pollutants in the cement, paper, and textile printing and dyeing industries; and 8% and 10% for agricultural chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen respectively. The overall reduction level of % determines the industry's emission reduction tasks; the urban sewage treatment rate will increase by 8 percentage points, reaching 85% by 2015, and urban living pollution will be further treated:

The "Planning" has identified five key pollutant emission reduction key projects: focus on the construction of urban sewage treatment facilities and supporting pipe network, upgrading of existing facilities, and construction of sludge treatment and disposal facilities to enhance the capability of nitrogen and phosphorus removal; Focusing on industries such as pulp and paper, printing and dyeing, food processing and agricultural and sideline products processing, we will continue to increase the depth of water pollution treatment and technological transformation; promote the construction of desulfurization and denitrification projects; carry out prevention and control of agricultural source pollution; and control the emission of pollutants from motor vehicles to speed up Eliminate old vehicles and fully implement the management of motor vehicle environmental protection signs.

"Planning" proposes the emission reduction targets that can be achieved under feasible technical and economic conditions. The overall goal is: By 2015, the country’s total chemical oxygen demand and total sulfur dioxide emissions will be controlled at 23.376 million tons and 20.864 million tons, respectively, which is 8% lower than 2010's 25.517 million tons and 22.678 million tons, respectively. 6.01 million tons and 6.54 million tons; the total amount of ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxide emissions in the country is respectively controlled at 2.38 million tons and 204.462 million tons, which is 10% lower than the 2.844 million tons and 22.736 million tons respectively in 2010, and the newly added reduction ability is 69 Ten thousand tons and 7.94 million tons.

"Planning" also put forward three main tasks for energy conservation and emission reduction during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan":

——Adjustment and optimization of industrial structure, strict implementation of industrial restructuring requirements, focusing on the elimination of 20 million kilowatts of small thermal power plants, 48 million tons of ironmaking capacity, 48 million tons of steelmaking capacity, 370 million tons of cement production capacity, 42 million tons of coke production capacity, and paper production capacity 15 million tons and so on.

——Strengthen pollution control in key areas. We will further expand the construction of urban sewage treatment facilities, reduce the coverage of pollutants emission in key industries, and increase environmental protection standards and control requirements. Strengthen the control of pollution from agricultural sources and the emission control of motor vehicles. Vigorously promote the treatment of atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5).

——Strengthen the construction of pollution reduction capacity. Establish a county-level pollution source monitoring center, strengthen monitoring of pollution sources, improve the online monitoring network of regional pollution sources, establish emission reduction monitoring databases and achieve data sharing.
