两部门印发节水装备高质量发展实施方案 探索设立节水产业基金

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Water Resources have jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the High-Quality Development of Water-Saving Equipment (2025-2030)", aiming to enhance the competitive advantage of the water-saving equipment industry and promote the efficient use of water resources for a comprehensive green transformation of the economy and society [1][2]. Group 1: Policy and Strategic Goals - The plan aims to establish a water-saving industry fund and encourage financial institutions to develop "water-saving loans" to support enterprises in purchasing water-saving equipment [1][3]. - By 2027, breakthroughs in water-saving equipment for key areas such as supply, usage, and recycling are expected, with a focus on developing core technologies with independent intellectual property rights [1][2]. - By 2030, the goal is to create a comprehensive and technologically advanced water-saving equipment system, enhancing the supply capacity of high-performance, high-efficiency, and high-reliability water-saving equipment to world-class levels [1][2]. Group 2: Industrial Context and Achievements - Over the past decade, the industrial water consumption has maintained "zero growth," supporting an average industrial economic growth of 5.7%, while the water consumption per unit of industrial added value has decreased by over 50% [2]. - In 2024, industrial water consumption is projected to be 97.1 billion cubic meters, accounting for approximately 16% of the national water consumption, with a water consumption of 24 cubic meters per unit of industrial added value, indicating a gap compared to international advanced levels [2]. - The plan emphasizes the development of water-saving equipment in general equipment with high water consumption in production processes and focuses on the digital transformation of water supply, usage, and recycling equipment [2][3].
