Call for suggestions on increasing energy conservation and emission reduction in environmental protection zones

Energy conservation and emission reduction is a very broad topic; there are countless aspects that can be explored if one were to delve into it. Does the moderator want to discuss energy conservation and emission reduction in general, or the fact that emission reduction occurs as a result of energy conservation, or the necessity of energy conservation in order to achieve emission reduction, or the impact of energy conservation and emission reduction on industries and society? There are many aspects that could be explored, but the moderator needs to set a general direction.

Thank you to Minter for his attention. As intended, anything related to energy conservation and emission reduction can be discussed – technologies, methods, their interconnections, experiences, insights, and so on. Any materials related to energy conservation and emission reduction can also be shared here. The goal is to use this HaiChuan platform to help everyone avoid unnecessary detours; after all, energy conservation and emission reduction have now become a governmental mandate that must be fulfilled! ! !

In our country, building energy consumption accounts for over 27% of the total energy consumption, and it is increasing at a rate of 1 percentage point per year. According to statistics from the Ministry of Construction, China constructs nearly 2 billion square meters of new buildings for urban and rural development each year, of which over 80% are buildings with high energy consumption ； There are nearly 40 billion square meters of existing buildings, over 95% of which are high-energy-consuming buildings. The share of building energy consumption in the country’s total energy consumption will rise rapidly from the current 27.6% to over 33%. In our country, newly built buildings are essentially designed in accordance with energy-saving standards, with a proportion of 95.7%, whereas the proportion of buildings for which energy-saving design standards are applied during the construction phase is only 53.8%. 　　In many cities, for aesthetic and grandiose reasons, office buildings in the main districts feature glass facades, and many large dome-shaped structures have been built as public facilities. In summer, intense ultraviolet radiation causes light pollution; in winter, it provides no insulation against the cold. Throughout the year, high-power air conditioners must be used to regulate the temperature – in winter, these systems need to keep buildings warm earlier than in other buildings, and in summer, they need to provide cooling earlier as well. According to incomplete statistics, the area of glass curtain walls (non-energy-saving glass) across the country has already exceeded 9 million square meters, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down. While bringing about the so-called aesthetic appeal, glass curtain walls also lead to a significant increase in energy consumption. 　　**Preliminary statistics from the Bureau of Statistics show that China’s total energy consumption in 2007 increased by 7.8% compared to 2006. In 2007, China’s total energy consumption was 2.65 billion tons of standard coal, with the growth rate showing a slight decline – it was 1.5 percentage points lower than in 2006. At the same time, China’s total energy consumption remains high, and the task of saving energy and reducing emissions remains severe.

At present, the main obstacle to energy conservation and emission reduction in our country is technology. In our country, energy consumption is not proportional to economic growth; it represents an extensive-style economy. However, to reduce the energy consumption per unit of output, in addition to a change in mindset, mature technologies, advanced equipment, and relevant policies are also necessary to achieve this goal. In the early stages, it was relatively easy for China to achieve certain goals in terms of energy conservation and emission reduction. These goals were attained by shutting down or merging small, backward enterprises in certain industries, as well as by having larger companies develop or innovate patent-based technologies. However, the research and development of technologies takes time, especially for advanced technologies. Many foreign companies protect their intellectual property rights, and importing such technologies is costly, which hinders China’s efforts to reach higher levels of energy conservation and emission reduction. In the intermediate stage of these efforts, not only do companies need to conduct extensive research, but they also have to undertake a lot of work related to technology and equipment development. It is also necessary to introduce relevant industrial policies to guide the direction of corporate development, so that energy conservation and emission reduction become a genuine priority for everyone.

To be honest, energy conservation and emission reduction have always been areas I want to focus on for development. Yes, as the two of you said, it’s a very broad topic, but I really hope there could be a dedicated section or focused content related to the development of biogas. My ultimate goal is still to start a business; currently, the utilization rate of biogas in rural areas is still very low, and there are many technical challenges as well. I don’t want to create just a simple biogas generator – something suitable for use in each household isn’t feasible. I work in engineering. Nowadays, cities have central heating systems, and I really want to implement a similar system for gas supply, using pipelines. I know this project is enormous, but if it can be successful in a small village, there is a possibility of scaling it up. I hope for a platform where discussions can take place on a long-term basis; I believe that with the help of knowledgeable people, it will eventually be possible to make this happen

I think it is still necessary. Chemical companies like ours keep calling for energy conservation and emission reduction every year; each company has done a lot of work in this area, and it has achieved certain results as well. As long as we share the methods used by our own companies, we can all work together to study them

Good performance in energy conservation and emission reduction can alleviate the pressure on end-of-pipe environmental protection measures, while the increasing demands for environmental protection in turn drive progress in these areas. Of course, the topic and suggestions put forward by Feiling are excellent; including content related to energy conservation and emission reduction can further promote exchanges among forum members, enabling them to learn from each other and improve together, which is beneficial for the development of the forum. We can also apply what we have learned to guide our work, making contributions to environmental protection and energy conservation efforts. It only requires the intellectual support of technical experts with extensive experience in energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as the active participation of all marine enthusiasts. It is necessary to arrange the appropriate experts and carry out extensive promotion in Haichuan. I hope to see a flourishing scene of diverse ideas and active debate in the Haichuan Environmental Protection Area! Agree to add content on energy conservation and emission reduction in the Haichuan Environmental Protection Area.

This is a great topic; reducing energy consumption, saving energy, and cutting pollution are not just issues relevant to the Chinese people, but also to people around the world. There is significant room for energy conservation and emission reduction across various industries, and the nitrogen fertilizer industry I work in is no exception. In recent years, many new energy-saving technologies and equipment have emerged; in particular, the 18 new energy-saving technologies introduced by the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Association in August this year have greatly promoted efforts in energy conservation and emission reduction within this industry.

Support the moderators! There is a wide range of topics that can be discussed regarding energy conservation and emission reduction; for example, in addition to energy savings in buildings as mentioned above, there are also various energy-saving products such as energy-efficient lights and refrigerators ； Emission reduction involves practices such as adopting clean production methods in various industries to reduce pollution at its source, as well as replacing fossil fuels with new and renewable energy sources, and shutting down small-scale power plants and cement factories ； Therefore, new energy and clean production are also directly related to energy conservation and emission reduction.

Energy conservation and emission reduction are in themselves a form of environmental protection. The use of energy always entails environmental damage and pollution; it is therefore necessary to conserve energy, make efficient use of it, and reduce emissions. It should be the content of this layout. Agree to increase.
