â– Introduction Home lighting all use LEDs, install a wind turbine to meet the daily electricity needs of residents, and the old-fashioned buses on the streets are replaced by new energy vehicles... All of these seemingly advanced lifestyles Not a distant dream, but a clear prospect of a low-carbon economy at your fingertips.
At the moment, the battle for a low-carbon economy has quietly started around the world. Zhongshan, which has always advocated vigorously developing a green economy, has become more eye-catching in its low-carbon development model: In the first ten days of November alone, Li Qihong, the mayor of Zhongshan, successively met with Dr. Ye Ce, the director of the Novartis Group’s global board of directors and the provincial economic adviser. Ask for the low carbon economy development and industrial transformation and upgrading path of Zhongshan.
As the leading trend of the future world industrial economy development, what kind of changes can the development of low-carbon economy bring to Zhongshan? What is the economic development model created by Zhongshan during the 30 years of reform and opening up, and what is the current low-carbon economy? From the beginning of this issue, the newspaper will launch a series of reports in three chapters, exploring the low-carbon economic development route of Zhongshan from the aspects of direction, path and mechanism.
Under the background of the “low-carbon cyclone†sweeping the world, today, various production factors closely related to the low-carbon economy are accelerating in Zhongshan: low-carbon industries such as wind power and health medicine are growing rapidly with low carbon. The industry-related service platforms closely related to the economy are constantly emerging in major towns and regions. Capital from the whole country and the world has rapidly flowed into all the low-carbon fields in Zhongshan...
There are indications that Zhongshan is currently taking the opportunity of developing a low-carbon economy to accelerate the upgrading of the industry and add new impetus to the “Zhongshan model†for sustainable development. In the eyes of the industry, following the low-carbon economy model is not only an internal demand for the development of Zhongshan industry, but also an external opportunity to seize the market. Under the guidance of the new industry trend, the renewal of advanced concepts and the mastery of core technologies will become the two thresholds for Zhongshan to accelerate its entry into the low-carbon field.
Accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy In the view of the Zhongshan Science and Technology Bureau, we will vigorously develop a low-carbon economy based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions. This is in line with the economic development, social progress and ecological protection that Zhongshan has developed over the past 30 years of reform and opening up. The highly harmonious scientific development model of the three is passed down from generation to generation. It can be said that the essence of the "Zhongshan model" is the low-carbon economy model.
Taking the new energy industry as an example, since the beginning of the 1990s, after nearly 20 years of development, Zhongshan has formed a complete system of wind power equipment manufacturing, LED industry, new energy power vehicle manufacturing, solar equipment manufacturing, and biomass energy equipment manufacturing. New energy industry system. According to the planning requirements, by 2012, the new energy industry in Zhongshan will realize an output value of 40 billion yuan. By 2020, the city's new energy industry will realize an output value of 120 billion yuan. In 2008, the total industrial production value of Zhongshan City was only over 400 billion yuan.
Li Qihong pointed out that Zhongshan should open up a "green channel" between industrial civilization and ecological civilization. This "green channel" is a low-carbon economic development model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions. That is to abandon the traditional growth model of the 20th century, directly apply the innovative technologies and innovation mechanisms of the new century, and achieve sustainable social development through low-carbon economic models and low-carbon lifestyles. It can be said that the low-carbon economy is an inevitable choice for Zhongshan's economic and social development.
If we analyze from the current external environment of Zhongshan Development and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy, it will surely become the magic weapon for Zhongshan to take the lead in economic recovery.
On the one hand, the financial crisis and the new environmental protection trend have led to more diversified trade protection measures. The protection methods of various countries have gradually evolved from traditional tariff barriers and anti-dumping measures to technical barriers, intellectual property protection, especially green barriers and other super-trade protectionism. . Taking the lighting industry with a large proportion of exports as an example, this year the EU officially announced that it will gradually phase out high-energy-consumption lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps, and replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lamps to become the main lighting lamps for European residents. The export of Zhongshan Lighting, which has a high degree of outward dependence, is still dominated by ordinary light sources. If you do not seize the opportunity to accelerate the development of LED, a low-carbon industry, it will frequently hit the wall in the vast international market.
On the other hand, if the Zhongshan industry can seize the opportunities in the new economic trend, it will be able to grab more market cakes. After this round of financial crisis, the low-carbon economy based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions is full of vitality. For example, Zhongshan’s creative games and other creative industries have maintained a growth rate of 30% during the financial crisis, the growth rate of health medicine has reached 50%, and the growth rate of wind power industry has reached 200%. The output value is expected to exceed 100 billion in 3 to 5 years. yuan.
The two thresholds of concept and technology need to cross the current situation. The low-carbon economy has undoubtedly become the most important factor for Zhongshan to achieve a new round of take-off. In the eyes of the industry, the development of a low-carbon economy in Zhongshan has inherent advantages, but there are still two thresholds that need to be crossed. One is the concept and the other is technology.
Zhao Xikang, director of the Institute of Modernization Development Strategy of the Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that Zhongshan, which has won many awards such as the UN Habitat Award and the National Civilized City, has established a win-win situation in recent years while ensuring economic growth and environmental protection. A relatively complete and mature "low carbon control system". This can be said to be the innate advantage of developing a low-carbon economy in Zhongshan.
Indeed, in terms of strictly controlling the entry of high-carbon industries, Zhongshan has adopted the three major systems of energy conservation and emission reduction statistics, monitoring and assessment, and adopted a combination of engineering emission reduction, structural emission reduction and regulatory emission reduction to promote energy conservation and emission reduction. In addition, Zhongshan also adhered to the project approval and pollution reduction system, and implemented pre-approval of the total pollutant discharge control for new expansion projects. In recent years, it has rejected nearly 100 billion yuan of pollution project investment.
In encouraging the development of low-carbon industries, Zhongshan not only attaches importance to the layout of low-carbon economic industries, but also actively builds a common technological innovation and service platform for low-carbon economy industries to promote the sustainable development of low-carbon economy. For example, Zhongshan City supports the towns of Triangle Town, Shaxi Town and Dayong Town to apply for the creation of provincial-level environmental protection technology innovation towns. Through the establishment of environmental protection professional towns, the establishment of a common technology research and development platform for the purpose of serving small and medium-sized enterprises, to solve the electroplating, textile The printing, dyeing and other industries restrict the technical difficulties in energy conservation and emission reduction.
However, the inherent advantages of industrial development cannot hide the current development disadvantages. Liang Shilun, director of the Institute of Small and Medium Enterprises of Zhongshan University of the University of Electronic Science and Technology, pointed out that the transition from the traditional high-carbon economy to the low-carbon economy is not only a process to solve technical obstacles, but also a structural transformation process.
“In the process of taking the low-carbon economy model, Zhongshan needs to overcome a series of obstacles, including all-round transformation of concepts, systems, policies, and management, as well as matching industrial environments such as new standards, technology promotion, and financing. In terms of the level of economic development, these aspects are still quite lacking. In particular, the two major problems urgently need to be resolved. One is the concept and the other is technology.†Liang Shilun said.
The promotion of ideas refers to the recognition of the new economy model of the low-carbon economy. It is true that low-carbon companies such as Vantage and Evergreen are actively playing a leading role in promoting the rapid development of the city's low-carbon industry. However, the construction of the entire low-carbon economy model is inseparable from the participation of many small and medium-sized enterprises. The development of a low-carbon economy requires huge investment in research and development. At present, most companies are reluctant to invest and lack the sustained momentum to lower the carbon economy.
The improvement of technology refers to mastering the core technical discourse rights in various low-carbon fields. At present, in addition to mastering cutting-edge technologies in some low-carbon fields such as wind power generation and energy conservation and emission reduction, Zhongshan's core technologies such as new energy power car manufacturing and new LED light sources are still in the hands of other cities.
