Low carbon economy is not a 'patent' for developed regions

Actively developing a low-carbon economy, establishing a low-carbon energy system, building a low-carbon industrial system, advocating the concept of low-carbon living, and gradually exploring a new path.

To thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development and achieve scientific development, it is necessary to accelerate the transformation of the economic development mode and vigorously adjust the economic structure. How to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode and promote economic structural adjustment in underdeveloped areas? Since the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Guangyuan City in Sichuan Province has actively developed a low-carbon economy, established a low-carbon energy system, built a low-carbon industrial system, advocated the concept of low-carbon living, and gradually explored a new path.

Specific practices

Establish a low-carbon energy system. The core of low-carbon economy is energy and energy technology. Guangyuan City has considerable natural gas reserves and abundant renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. With these energy advantages, Guangyuan City has gradually established a "multi-level, wide coverage" low-carbon energy system, reducing carbon dioxide emissions. One is to launch the "Gasification Guangyuan" clean energy campaign. We will make every effort to promote the "coal to gas" project for all enterprises in the city, and have completed the "coal to gas" conversion for more than 200 enterprises, steadily improving the urban natural gas gasification rate. The second is to implement the plan of replacing coal and diesel with electricity. Thirdly, we will vigorously develop emerging energy sources. Launch a batch of comprehensive development and utilization projects for solar, wind, and geothermal energy, formulate and implement plans for large-scale planting of biomass energy forests, and gradually expand the scale of emerging energy utilization.

Building a low-carbon industrial system. Guangyuan City relies on high-tech, especially low-carbon technology, to build a low-carbon industrial system and optimize its economic structure. One is to adhere to the coordinated development of the secondary and tertiary industries, and vigorously develop low-energy industries such as tourism. Within the * * industry, focus on attracting investment in new materials, new energy, and new medicine, develop high-tech industries, and promote industrial restructuring and optimization upgrading; The main focus is on developing new products and accelerating product upgrades, introducing advanced equipment and technology to improve resource utilization. The second is to vigorously develop courtyard economy and improve the agricultural circular economy system. Actively promote the comprehensive utilization of solar energy, straw gasification, and biogas fertilizer, and strive to build a rural energy utilization system based on rural biogas, supplemented by clean energy such as solar energy and straw gasification, and guided by the promotion of energy-saving new technologies and products.

Advocate the concept of low-carbon living. To develop a low-carbon economy, it is necessary to cultivate public awareness of low-carbon, advocate low-carbon concepts and consumption habits, and promote the transformation of social lifestyles. Guangyuan City utilizes mass media such as radio, television, and newspapers to widely promote low-carbon knowledge; Carry out low-carbon production and lifestyle activities in communities, enterprises, government agencies, and schools, advocate for sustainable lifestyles, encourage the conservation of electricity and water, and enhance public awareness of garbage recycling and classification. Vigorously promote low-carbon buildings in post disaster reconstruction, strictly implement the design standard of 50% energy-saving for new residential and public buildings, promote energy-saving renovation of non energy-saving residential buildings, and promote building energy-saving technologies and materials.
