In the process of developing a low-carbon economy, the state must accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity and curb the growth of the “double-high†industry. In particular, new projects to be implemented in the future must pay attention to energy conservation and emission reduction assessment, reflect the concept of circular economy and technological innovation, and develop low-carbon economy. On the other hand, according to technical standards and industrial policies, we should further strengthen the classification guidance and entry thresholds for industrial energy-saving emission reduction. At the same time, we must also support the construction of energy-saving emission reduction projects through the technological transformation of enterprises. While calling on developed countries to give more technical support and financial assistance to developing countries, enterprises should also be prepared to take the initiative to “pay the bill†for a low-carbon economy.
The chemical industry is a major player in energy consumption, energy use, and carbon emissions. There is great potential for energy conservation, consumption reduction, and carbon reduction. The more developed the chemical industry and the more reasonable the industrial structure, the more urgent the demand for science and technology is. Therefore, efforts to develop low-carbon technologies will play an important role in encouraging chemical companies to advance technologically and eliminate backward production capacity.
At present, we should focus on the following three links: First, we must make full use of the favorable opportunities for the development of a low-carbon economy and actively promote a number of advanced and applicable technologies with mature technologies and rapid results to support the current structural adjustment of the chemical industry. And technological transformation. Second, the demand for energy saving and consumption reduction in low-carbon economy may be higher. Chemical companies need to invest more to solve the bottlenecks in the development of the industry. The third is to develop a recycling economy and introduce advanced technologies for low-carbon economy to create conditions for sustainable energy-saving and emission reduction.
Therefore, for chemical companies, to strengthen ecological protection and environmental governance and reduce carbon emissions, companies can have greater competitiveness. The key lies in improving the innovation capability of enterprises and promoting the upgrading of industrial structure.
Sustainable low-carbon and green economy will be the general trend of future world development. For the chemical industry, it is also a realistic choice for achieving sustainable development. If our chemical companies can seize this opportunity in time, they will maintain a long-term competitive advantage in the international market.
