- This year's government work report put forward a solid carbon peak, carbon neutral work, and put forward specific requirements for the energy and power industry. Facing the "14th Five-Year Plan", how should the energy and power industry promote the green transformation of energy and help achieve the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality"? With this problem, the reporter interviewed the National People's Congress, TbeA Electric Co., LTD. Party secretary, chairman Zhang Xin.
Reporter: When the government work report mentions the work of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, it clearly requires the optimization of industrial structure and energy structure. How do you think the energy structure and industrial structure should be adjusted and optimized? In order to achieve the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", how will the equipment manufacturing industry transform and upgrade?
Zhang Xin: The proposal of the goal of "reaching the peak of carbon and carbon neutrality" puts forward higher requirements for the adjustment of energy structure and industrial structure. To vigorously adjust the energy mix, we must unswervingly promote the development of wind power and photovoltaic, develop nuclear power and hydropower in a reasonable and appropriate manner under the premise of ensuring safety, improve the peak load balancing and energy storage capacity of the power system, and raise the level of end-consumption electrification. To accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure, we should strictly control the addition of new production capacity in energy-consuming industries, optimize existing production capacity, promote energy-saving upgrading in energy-consuming industries, and accelerate the development of modern service industries, high-tech industries, and advanced manufacturing. It is necessary to adhere to the dual control degree of energy consumption, improve energy conservation systems and mechanisms and relevant supporting policies, further promote energy conservation in key areas such as industry, construction, transportation and public institutions, and accelerate the improvement of the energy efficiency level of "new infrastructure". At the same time, it is necessary to accelerate the development of energy storage, hydrogen energy, carbon capture and other technologies, and promote the innovative application of information technology in the field of energy conservation and clean energy.
Promoting the transformation and upgrading of the energy and power equipment manufacturing industry is not only an effective means to help achieve the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", but also the only way for the high-quality development of the equipment manufacturing industry itself. I propose that, first, we continue to intensify scientific and technological innovation, actively promote the research and development of technological products that meet the requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction, and the transformation of innovation results, and enhance the core competitiveness of the equipment manufacturing industry and market service capabilities. The second is to accelerate digital transformation, promote the transformation of "made in China" to "made in China", and form a high-end equipment intelligent manufacturing ecosystem through the layout and construction of smart factories and industrial Internet, achieve data interconnection, improve the utilization efficiency of production resources, and ensure benign and sustainable development. Third, actively align the "dual carbon" strategic planning and action plans of the state and competent units, strengthen responsibility, innovate business models and enhance service awareness in response to new policies, new formats and new requirements, and contribute to the realization of the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality".
Reporter: In what ways do you think the construction of energy Internet will drive the development of upstream and downstream industrial chains?
Zhang Xin: The construction of energy Internet will give birth to a series of new energy equipment manufacturing and information technology research and development and application needs, and promote the development of energy network operators, information energy system integrators, and information energy integration application developers. It will directly promote the integrated development of the energy conservation and environmental protection industry, the new generation of information technology industry, the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, the new energy and energy storage industry, the new material industry, and the new energy automobile industry, so as to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, expand the industrial scale, and open up greater market space.
Question: According to the government work report, we should rely on innovation to promote high-quality development of the real economy and cultivate and strengthen new drivers. What role do you think innovation drive can play in the development of enterprises? What is the current development bottleneck in the field of energy and power? In what areas should we make scientific and technological innovation?
Zhang Xin: The 18th National Congress of the CPC put forward that "scientific and technological innovation is the strategic support for improving social productivity and comprehensive national strength, and must be placed in the core position of the overall development of the country." For enterprises, innovation-driven is to further integrate resource elements by establishing a new system with stronger efficiency and higher efficiency, so as to establish a new mechanism, develop new products, implement new processes, open up new markets, achieve higher efficiency and obtain higher benefits, ensure that enterprises continue to radiate new vitality and new impetus, and always take the high-quality development road.
At present, there are still some shortcomings in the development of energy and power technology. First, basic research is relatively weak, such as hydrogen energy, fuel cells, carbon capture and other cutting-edge technology investment research is very limited, technical reserves are insufficient. Second, some key core technical equipment and materials are subject to others, and the products cannot achieve comprehensive autonomy. Third, there are not many original research and development achievements, and emerging technologies such as new energy and shale gas are mainly introduced and absorbed, and the efficiency of innovation investment is not high. Fourth, the innovation environment needs to be improved, and the combination of scientific and technological innovation and the development of the energy industry is not close enough, and the incentive for innovation is insufficient.
It is suggested that the relevant departments of the state increase their support for scientific and technological innovation in the field of energy, introduce supportive policies from the aspects of capital, market and talent, and further establish and improve the incentive mechanism for scientific research and promote the marketization of research and development results.
Question: The government work report stressed that high-quality Belt and Road cooperation should be promoted in an orderly manner and infrastructure connectivity should be promoted. What opportunities do you think the State Grid Corporation will bring to upstream and downstream enterprises in the process of "going global" in the future? In what areas will TBEA and State Grid cooperate?
Zhang Xin: The State Grid Corporation actively participates in the construction of the "Belt and Road", implements the international development strategy, successively carries out infrastructure investment and operation projects in many countries and regions, promotes the "going out" of China's technology, equipment and standards, and provides power development planning and power grid management services for countries along the "Belt and Road". In the future, with the continuous development and growth of the international business of the State Grid Corporation, it will bring more opportunities for upstream and downstream enterprises to penetrate the market of countries along the "Belt and Road", and drive more enterprises to work on equipment supply, engineering construction, technical cooperation, project and equity investment cooperation, and standard system construction.
As a leading enterprise in the domestic energy equipment manufacturing industry, TBEA has actively participated in the construction of the "Belt and Road" and carried out multi-level cooperation with countries along the route. It is hoped that in the future, the two sides can give full play to their respective advantages and carry out practical cooperation in power grid planning and construction, cross-border power grid interconnection, investment cooperation of overseas power enterprises and equipment manufacturing capacity cooperation, so as to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. - What electrical appliances are in the photovoltaic grid-connected cabinet?The "China Initiative" of the global energy Internet makes it possible to effectively replace electric energy
