According to the actual situation of the industry, development expectations, the overall energy efficiency level of production equipment, etc., comprehensively consider factors such as achieving the carbon peak goal on schedule, maintaining stable production and supply, and facilitating the operation and implementation of enterprises, and scientifically delineate the energy efficiency benchmark level of each industry in combination with the formulation and revision of energy consumption limit standards for each industry. The benchmark level and benchmark level of energy efficiency in key areas shall be dynamically adjusted according to the development of the industry and the revision of the standard. Strengthen the leading role of energy efficiency benchmarking and benchmark constraint, encourage and guide industry enterprises to base themselves on long-term development, and implement energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformation and upgrading with high standards.
3. Promote categorical transformation and upgrading
According to the benchmark level and benchmark level of energy efficiency, the transformation and upgrading are carried out by classification. For proposed and ongoing projects, they should be implemented according to the benchmark level of energy efficiency, and the level of energy efficiency should be improved as much as possible, and strive to fully reach the benchmark level. For existing projects with energy efficiency between the benchmark level and the benchmark level, encourage the strengthening of the application of green and low-carbon process technology and equipment, guide enterprises to make changes and improvements, and drive the whole industry to increase energy conservation and carbon reduction transformation and improve the overall energy efficiency level. For existing projects with energy efficiency below the benchmark level, all localities should clarify the time limit for transformation, upgrading and elimination, formulate annual transformation and elimination plans, guide enterprises to carry out energy-saving and carbon-reduction technology transformation or elimination and withdrawal in an orderly manner, upgrade energy efficiency transformation above the benchmark level within the specified time limit, and eliminate projects that cannot be completed on schedule.
For the previously specified 25 fields, such as oil refining, coal-to-coke, coal-to-methanol, coal-to-olefins, coal-to-ethylene glycol, caustic soda, soda ash, calcium carbide, ethylene, paraxylene, yellow phosphorus, synthetic ammonia, monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, cement clinker, flat glass, architectural ceramics, sanitary ceramics, ironmaking, steelmaking, ferroalloy smelting, copper smelting, lead smelting, zinc smelting, electrolytic aluminum, etc., in principle, technological transformation or elimination should be completed before the end of 2025; For the addition of ethylene glycol, urea, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl chloride, purified terephthalic acid, radial tires, industrial silicon, toilet paper base paper, tissue base paper, cotton, chemical fiber and blended woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, yarns, viscose staple fiber and other 11 fields, in principle, the technical transformation or elimination should be completed before the end of 2026.
