The implementation plan of “Industrial Internet + Double Carbon” is brewing
Focusing on accelerating emerging technologies to promote the green and low-carbon development of the industry, relevant departments are focusing on key industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemical chemicals, building materials, etc. A new generation of information technology enables green manufacturing. At the same time, relevant measures are being introduced intensively from ministries and commissions to local governments to further increase financial support for digital and green transformation of enterprises in terms of financial incentives and financial credit.
Accelerate the improvement of the policy system
This year’s plan report takes “promoting low-carbon transformation of industrial structure” as one of the key tasks to actively and steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and proposes to promote the deep integration of emerging technologies and green and low-carbon industries, and effectively promote the industrial structure from high-carbon to low-carbon Carbon, transformation and upgrading from low-end to high-end.
The reporter noticed that in recent years, relevant policy deployments have continued to increase, and emerging technologies such as 5G and industrial Internet have been promoted to empower the green and low-carbon development of traditional industries.
Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiao Yaqing said at a press conference of the State Council Information Office a few days ago that the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry will be promoted in a steady and orderly manner. Among them, the green and low-carbon transformation of the manufacturing industry will be implemented, and a guideline for green and low-carbon upgrading and transformation will be released to guide key industries. Carbon upgrading and transformation, promoting low-carbon process innovation and digital transformation in key industries and fields. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission recently issued a document to promote the deep integration of emerging technologies such as the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G with green and low-carbon industries.
“The current new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, the deep integration of industrial Internet, big data, 5G emerging technologies and green and low-carbon industries, and the continuous improvement of green manufacturing systems and service systems will accelerate the promotion of low-carbon process innovation and digitization in the industrial field. Transformation.” said Lu Chuncong, president of China Industrial Internet Research Institute.
The relevant policy system will also be further improved. The reporter learned that according to the requirements of the “14th Five-Year Plan for Industrial Green Development”, relevant units are focusing on key industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, building materials, etc. Industrial Internet, big data, 5G and other new-generation information technologies improve energy, resource, and environmental management levels, deepen the digital application of production and manufacturing processes, and empower green manufacturing.
“During the ’14th Five-Year Plan’ period, we will pay more attention to the leading role of digital technology in industrial green development. From three aspects: consolidating the data foundation, accelerating digital transformation, and cultivating application scenarios, we will promote the transformation of the new advantages of the digital economy into a green and low-carbon industrial transformation. New kinetic energy.” Wang Xiaoyang, deputy director of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the new generation of information technologies such as 5G, industrial Internet, and cloud computing will be used to deeply integrate with product design, manufacturing, use, recycling and other links to promote enterprises. , The park implements the refined management of the whole process and the whole life cycle, which drives the improvement of the energy and resource efficiency system. For key areas such as energy conservation, carbon reduction, water conservation, pollution reduction, and comprehensive utilization of resources, cultivate a number of typical application scenarios, and promote standardized “industrial Internet + green manufacturing” solutions.
Additional funds to support the green transformation of enterprises
While the policy system continues to improve, enterprises are also actively promoting digital technology to enable the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry.
In Anhui, “5G+Industrial Internet” brought Conch Cement a change from “gray manufacturing” to “green intelligent manufacturing”. The staff told reporters that the factory relies on “5G+Industrial Internet” to establish optimal energy efficiency models and evaluation indicators, realize digital monitoring of energy consumption and carbon emissions in key production processes, and save electricity by “stepping on the accelerator” at the source and “planning carefully” in the process. 400 million kWh, carbon dioxide emission reduction of nearly 750,000 tons, and pollutant emission reduction of 30,000 tons.
In addition to cement production, in traditional industries such as electric power, steel, and petrochemicals, the deep integration of new-generation information technology and traditional industries has become a new driver for energy conservation, carbon reduction, and efficiency enhancement. Tianjin Iron and Steel Group built an ultra-low emission information system through industrial Internet platform technology, and the comprehensive power consumption and water consumption per ton of steel throughout the year decreased by 14.37% and 12.61% year-on-year. Sinopec has formed a set of integrated solutions for petrochemical enterprises based on the Industrial Internet. It is estimated that fuel consumption can be saved by 5% by 2030 and 14% by 2050.
Driven by leading enterprises, the pace of industrial green transformation has accelerated. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the national industrial capacity utilization rate will reach 77.5% in 2021, which is a relatively high level in recent years; the energy consumption of the added value of industrial units above designated size will decrease by 5.6% year-on-year.
However, we must also see that the digitalization level of most industrial enterprises in my country needs to be improved urgently. “In particular, the digitalization level of small and medium-sized enterprises is relatively low. More than 55% of enterprises have not completed the basic digital transformation of equipment. It is urgent to improve the level of energy consumption management and carbon emission data collection and supervision.” Lu Chuncong said.
It is worth noting that from ministries and commissions to local governments, financial support for digital and green transformation of enterprises will be further increased. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has made it clear that it will encourage and support enterprises to increase investment, and guide financial institutions to increase their support for digital and green transformation of enterprises.
Local governments also offer policy incentives of “real money”. For example, Inner Mongolia recently released 30 policies and measures to support the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, clearly supporting green manufacturing demonstrations, and giving 1 million yuan to newly identified enterprises as national-level green factories, green products, and green supply chains. sexual rewards. Suqian City, Jiangsu Province recently set up a risk compensation fund pool for smart-to-digital-to-green loans, with a total size of no more than 50 million yuan, to increase credit for the city’s industrial enterprises to be included in smart-to-digital-to-green projects, and to provide low-cost credit support for enterprises.
Need to enhance the enthusiasm of small and medium-sized enterprises to transform
From the perspective of the industry, promoting the deep integration of emerging technologies and green and low-carbon industries is a long-term and systematic project, which needs to be promoted in a stable and orderly manner, especially the enthusiasm of small and medium-sized enterprises for digital and green transformation needs to be further enhanced.
Mao Tao, director of the International Cooperation Department of the International Economic and Technological Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and deputy secretary-general of the China Green Supply Chain Alliance, said that some enterprises still have concerns about using digital technology to carry out green industrial transformation. The system still needs to be further improved.
Focusing on further enhancing the digital and green transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, Lu Chuncong said that he will actively promote the green development of “specialized, specialized and innovative” small and medium-sized enterprises enabled by digital technology, and sort out the digital transformation and green development of “specialized, specialized, and new” small and medium-sized enterprises according to the industrial chain. To meet common needs, carry out standard publicity, on-site diagnosis and supply and demand docking, guide enterprises to participate in the implementation of industrial low-carbon actions and green manufacturing projects, improve the digital level of enterprises, and reduce the cost of zero-carbon development of enterprises.
In terms of optimizing services, Lu Chuncong said that he will promote the construction of an “industrial Internet + dual carbon” public service platform, efficiently allocate policy, technology, data, talents and other element resources, and deepen product research and development design, manufacturing, application service, recycling, etc. The digital application of links, to create a green manufacturing system and service system.
In terms of financial support, Mao Tao suggested that necessary financial support for project construction should be provided, and positive market-based incentives should be formed through measures such as increasing tax relief, lowering green credit and green bond approval thresholds.
