"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" Energy Saving and Environmental Protection Industry Development Plan was officially released

Recently, the State Council issued the "12th Five-Year Plan for Energy-saving and Environmental Protection Industry Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning") with the document of Guofa [2012] No. 19, and requested all localities to implement it conscientiously.

Energy-saving and environmental protection industry refers to an industry that provides a material basis and technical guarantee for saving energy resources, developing a recycling economy, and protecting the ecological environment. It is one of seven strategic emerging industries that the country has accelerated to foster and develop. To develop energy-saving and environmental protection industries, on the one hand, to provide solid industry and technical support for achieving the “12th Five-Year Plan” energy-saving and emission-reduction target, and on the other hand to nurture new economic growth points and emerging pillar industries.

The potential of China's energy-saving and environmental protection industry is huge, and it has broad prospects for stimulating economic growth. According to calculations, by 2015, China's technologically feasible and economically reasonable potential for energy conservation will exceed 400 million tons of standard coal, which can drive a trillions of yuan in investment; the total output value of energy-saving services can exceed 300 billion yuan; there is a huge market for industrial waste recycling market; The investment in urban sewage waste, desulfurization and denitrification facilities can exceed 800 billion yuan, and the total value of environmental services will reach 500 billion yuan.

"Planning" analyzes the current situation of China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry development and the situation it faces, and proposes that the total output value of China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry will reach 4.5 trillion yuan by 2015, and the total value of the added value in the GDP will be about 2%. The basic principles of policy mechanism-driven, technological innovation leading, key projects, market order regulation, and service model innovation; and proposed seven policy measures.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, in order to accelerate the development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries, China will implement industrialization of major energy-saving technologies and equipment, industrialization and application of semiconductor lighting, demonstration of “urban minerals”, industrialization of remanufacturing, utilization of industrial waste resources, and major The eight key projects of environmental protection technology equipment and product industrialization demonstration, the construction of seawater desalination industrial bases, and the cultivation of energy conservation and environmental protection service industries will surely promote the rapid development of strategic emerging industries.
