我国工业绿色发展更加突出“碳效优化”

Core Viewpoint - The construction of zero-carbon factories is a crucial strategy for enhancing the green and low-carbon development level of industries and improving their competitiveness in the green and low-carbon sector. The recent issuance of the "Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Zero-Carbon Factories" by five departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, marks a significant step towards promoting carbon reduction and green transformation in key industries [1][2]. Group 1: Goals and Pathways - The "Guiding Opinions" systematically outline the main goals and construction pathways for zero-carbon factory development in China, emphasizing the importance of carbon reduction and efficiency enhancement [1]. - The construction of zero-carbon factories is seen as a means to cultivate new productive forces and support the achievement of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals [1]. Group 2: Technological Innovation - Zero-carbon factory construction relies on technological innovation, structural adjustments, and management optimization to continuously reduce carbon dioxide emissions within factories [2][3]. - The focus is on achieving near-zero emissions rather than absolute zero, with an emphasis on continuous improvement under current technological and economic conditions [2]. Group 3: Standards and Management - The success of zero-carbon factory construction hinges on having standards for benchmarking, focusing on both source reduction and process decarbonization [4]. - The "Guiding Opinions" require factories to meet energy efficiency standards and implement management optimizations to ensure efficient operation of equipment [4][5]. Group 4: Supply Chain Collaboration - The "Guiding Opinions" advocate for a collaborative approach to carbon reduction across supply chains, emphasizing the analysis of carbon footprints of key products and the adoption of green low-carbon solutions in procurement and logistics [5][6]. - A digital energy and carbon management center is recommended to enhance data management capabilities, supporting process control and effectiveness evaluation [5][6]. Group 5: Financial and Policy Support - The construction of zero-carbon factories involves integrated innovation in policies, standards, and business models, with a focus on creating a collaborative ecosystem for carbon reduction [7]. - The "Guiding Opinions" highlight the role of green finance in supporting zero-carbon factory construction, including mechanisms for preferential credit and innovative financial products to lower transformation costs for enterprises [7][8]. Group 6: Carbon Offset Principles - The "Guiding Opinions" establish the principle of "reduce as much as possible, continuously improve," emphasizing that carbon offsetting should only occur after all feasible reductions have been made [8].
