13th Five Year Plan for the Development of Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Industries
Developing energy-saving and environmental protection industries is a major measure to cultivate new driving forces for development and enhance green competitiveness. It is an important support for filling the gaps in resources and environment, improving the quality of ecological environment, and an objective requirement for promoting ecological civilization construction and building a beautiful China. In order to accelerate the cultivation of the energy-saving and environmental protection industry as a pillar industry of China's national economy, this plan is formulated in accordance with the Outline of the 13th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development.
1、 Development foundation
During the 12th Five Year Plan period, with the support of a series of national policies and the joint efforts of the whole society, significant achievements have been made in the development of China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry. The industrial scale is rapidly expanding, with an output value of about 4.5 trillion yuan in 2015 and over 30 million employees. The level of technical equipment has significantly improved, with internationally leading equipment such as high-efficiency coal-fired boilers, high-efficiency motors, membrane bioreactors, and high-pressure filter presses. Significant breakthroughs have been made in ultra-low emissions of coal-fired units, clean and efficient processing and utilization of coal, remanufacturing, and other technologies. We have world-class equipment supply capabilities in dust removal and desulfurization, domestic sewage treatment, waste heat and pressure utilization, green lighting, and more. The concentration of industries has significantly increased, and more than 70 energy-saving and environmental protection leading enterprises with annual operating income exceeding 1 billion yuan have emerged, forming a number of energy-saving and environmental protection industrial bases. The energy-saving and environmental protection service industry maintains a good development momentum, and service models such as contract energy management and third-party environmental pollution control are widely applied. A number of manufacturing enterprises are rapidly transforming into production service enterprises.
At the same time, there are still many difficulties and problems in the development of China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry, highlighted by weak independent innovation capabilities, lack of fundamental, pioneering, and disruptive technological innovation, some key equipment and core components are subject to human control, difficult technologies such as garbage leachate treatment, high salt industrial wastewater treatment, and energy system optimization need to be broken through, and the supply capacity of high-end technological equipment is not strong. The market order is not standardized, and there is a prominent problem of vicious competition in areas such as environmental infrastructure construction. In some areas, local protection is severe and market competition is insufficient. The false standards of product energy efficiency and water efficiency are repeatedly banned, and some backward and inefficient technological equipment is squeezing the market for high-end products. The phenomenon of breach of contract in the energy-saving and environmental protection service industry has increased, and a mechanism for dispute resolution has not yet been established. The institutional system is not perfect, the construction of energy-saving and environmental protection standards lags behind, tax preferential policies need to be further implemented, the problem of difficult and expensive financing for enterprises is prominent, and there is a lack of effective guidance for green consumption.
Improving resource utilization efficiency, protecting and enhancing the ecological environment are eternal themes of human social development and urgent tasks facing China's development. The resource and environmental situation in our country is severe, with the strongest demand for environmental improvement in the world, the largest market for energy conservation and environmental protection, a good foundation for industrial development, and great potential for the development of energy conservation and environmental protection industries. We must firmly seize the historical opportunity, promote the integrated development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries and traditional industries, carry out green transformation of existing resources and incremental green construction, enhance the overall green competitiveness of the economy, promote the green transformation of economic and social development, and achieve greater environmental and social benefits at the least cost.
