The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that “adhering to the basic national policy of conserving resources and protecting the environment is related to the vital interests of the people and the survival and development of the Chinese nation. The construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society must be placed in a prominent position in the industrialization and modernization development strategy and implemented in every unit and every family. ”At the same time, it was emphasized that the concept of "ecological civilization" should be firmly established in the whole society. In recent years, the party and * * By carrying out large-scale energy conservation and emission reduction actions, China has made remarkable achievements in energy resource conservation and ecological environment protection, attracting the attention of the world. “"Silver Cang Jade Er" reproduces the picturesque scenery Caicun is a village on the Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan. The small courtyard of the American Barry family of the "villager" is right on the Erhai Lake. A year ago, Barry came here with his wife and children. The picturesque Erhai Lake and its blue, clear and wide water made him and his family never want to leave. Just next to Barry's house, a bar "Herb Garden" owned by a Taiwanese family is about to open. There are several such "foreign villagers" in Caicun, and some have lived here for several years. Agricultural non-point source pollution control is a difficult problem all over the world. Due to industrial and agricultural development, the water quality of Erhai Lake in Yunnan, which is famous for its "Silver Green Jade Lake", dropped from Category II to Category IV, and there were two outbreaks of cyanobacteria. In order to protect the Erhai Lake, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture launched an "agricultural revolution" in the rural areas of the lake area, vigorously promoted nitrogen control, phosphorus reduction, organic fertilizer application technology and the construction of biogas digesters, developed ecological agriculture, and explored a unique agricultural circular economy development path. From 2003 to 2006, Dali completed agricultural non-point source pollution control on 637,000 acres, reducing nitrogen and phosphorus application by more than 12,000 tons. Dali has also implemented the return of farmland to forests, ponds to lakes, and wetlands to the Erhai beach with an altitude of less than 1,974 meters and a total area of more than 12,000 acres. Over the past few years, more than 1 billion yuan has been invested in sewage treatment and interception projects, protecting the clarity of Erhai Lake. From 2004 to 2006, the water quality of Erhai Lake returned to and maintained Category III for three consecutive years. In the first half of this year, the water quality of Erhai Lake reached Category II water quality standards for three months. Energy conservation and emission reduction have become actions of the whole society. With the development of China's economy and the improvement of residents' living standards, the total amount of energy consumed in daily life has increased rapidly. In 2005, my country's total energy consumption for domestic consumption reached 530 million tons of standard coal, accounting for 24% of total energy consumption. In 2006, this figure increased by about 10 percentage points. September 1, by * * National Development and Reform Commission, * * The "National Action for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction" jointly organized by 17 departments including the State Environmental Protection Administration was officially launched. The Ministry of Science and Technology published the "National Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Manual", which selected 36 simple and operable "green" lifestyles from daily life such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily necessities, calling on people to save energy and reduce emissions with a little effort. Nowadays, energy-saving and emission-reduction measures such as casual wear for meetings, public transportation, and opposition to excessive packaging have entered ordinary people's lives, and industrial energy-saving and emission reduction has already been carried out on a large scale. Shougang invested 66.7 billion yuan to move from the capital Beijing to Caofeidian, Tangshan, Hebei Province, building a new steel capacity of 9.7 million tons, while reducing the backward steel production capacity of the same scale in Hebei Province, thereby unveiling the largest single energy-saving and emission reduction project in the history of New China. According to statistics, after the completion of the relocation project, Shougang fully recycled waste heat, residual pressure, residual gas, waste water, iron-containing substances and solid waste, and basically achieved zero discharge of waste water and solid waste. The energy consumption per ton of steel is 649 kilograms of standard coal, the water consumption is 3.84 cubic meters, the water circulation rate is 97.5%, the dust emission per ton of steel is 0.3 kilograms, and the sulfur dioxide emission is 0.25 kilograms. These indicators have reached the international advanced level. Due to the advanced project design, * * Caofeidian has been designated as a circular economy demonstration zone. China's contribution to the global environment Shougang's energy conservation and emission reduction is only a microcosm of the national energy conservation and emission reduction. China’s “11th Five-Year Plan” proposed: By 2010, the national energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) will be reduced by about 20% compared with 2005, and the total emission of major pollutants will be reduced by 10%. In order to achieve this binding target, many industries in China have begun large-scale energy conservation and emission reduction. according to * * According to information provided by the National Development and Reform Commission, in the first nine months of this year, China has shut down more than 250 small coal-fired thermal power units with high energy consumption and high emissions, with an installed capacity of 9.03 million kilowatts, and has completed 90% of this year's shutdown tasks. Industries such as steel, cement, and papermaking have also successively eliminated backward production capacity. * * Reduce energy consumption and pollution emissions. * * The National Development and Reform Commission also launched an energy-saving campaign for 1,000 enterprises. These 1,000 key enterprises consume 800 million tons of standard coal annually, accounting for one-third of the country's energy consumption. It is expected that these enterprises will save 100 million tons of standard coal by the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". In 2006, they have already achieved savings of 20 million tons. The Renewable Energy Law of the People's Republic of China, which came into effect on January 1, 2006, is the fifth law on renewable energy in the world. * * Comprehensive Law. China has promised to increase the proportion of renewable energy power generation from the current approximately 7% to 10% by 2010, and to 20% by 2020, with a total capacity of 400 million kilowatts. Since the beginning of this year, energy conservation and emission reduction effects have been evident across China. In the first half of the year, the national energy consumption per unit of GDP dropped by 2.78% year-on-year, maintaining a decline for four consecutive quarters. With the economy growing by more than 10%, national sulfur dioxide emissions fell by 0.88% year-on-year, reversing the trend of continuous increases for many years. ； COD emissions only increased by 0.24% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 3.46 percentage points lower than the same period last year. As the entire nation takes action to save energy and reduce emissions, China will make greater contributions to reducing global pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
