The results of energy saving and emission reduction work in the first three quarters of 2011 in Shaanxi Tongchuan were significant

This year, Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province, in accordance with the requirements of the scientific concept of development, conscientiously implemented the national and provincial spirit of energy-saving emission reduction video teleconference, and comprehensively promote resource conservation and environmental protection, energy-saving emission reduction workers have achieved results. According to preliminary estimates, energy consumption per unit of GDP in the first three quarters of the city decreased by 3.4% year-on-year, electricity consumption per unit of GDP fell by 9.8% year-on-year; CO2, chemical oxygen demand, and ammonia nitrogen decreased by 1.7%, 1.5%, and 1.4%, respectively, and nitrogen oxides increased. 7.49%; projected annual energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 3.5% year-on-year.

Decompose targets at various levels to consolidate work responsibilities. Timely development of the city's energy-saving emission reduction plans and plans, clear goals and objectives, through the signing of energy-saving emission reduction target responsibility book, to achieve management, institutions, personnel, and systems; statistics, measurement, data, analysis; assessment Indicators, evaluations, rewards and penalties, energy saving work evaluation programs, rewards and punishments have a basis, and promote measures. Eliminating outdated capacity equipment and strictly implementing quota standards. The first to complete the elimination task. As of now, Tongchuan City is the only region in Shaanxi Province that has shut down all backward cement production lines, eliminating 3.46 million tons of outdated production capacity. It has taken the lead in the country to achieve the goal of cement-free cities without shaft kiln.

Promote energy efficiency in buildings and promote green buildings. New construction strictly implements national standards and norms. Always insist on the design stage to resolutely correct the design scheme that violates the mandatory standards for energy conservation, ensure that the design stage meets the energy-saving design standards by 100%, and vigorously carry out the heat measurement and energy-saving transformation of existing buildings. It is forbidden to use solid clay bricks and actively promote green buildings.

Improve the supervision and monitoring system and strengthen energy saving in public institutions. Establish and improve the supervision system. Urban districts and counties set up specialized agencies to lead working groups and established the management mechanism for the liaison work of energy-saving work in public institutions at municipal and district/county levels. Strengthen energy consumption measurement statistics. At the same time, capital investment has been great. In 2010, the city spent more than 15 million yuan on energy conservation for public institutions. It was used to transform new types of boilers, replace aging heating pipes, replace energy-saving lamps, and install energy-saving devices such as solar-powered street lights.

Strengthen the measurement instrument testing and improve the measurement management system. Increase energy measurement propaganda. Combining activities such as “5.20 World Metrology Day” and “Quality Month”, publicity of relevant laws, regulations, and technical specifications was carried out for key energy-using units in the city, raising awareness of the public and the company’s energy awareness and legal system for energy measurement. Increase supervision and inspection, help and guide enterprises to establish energy measurement management agencies, improve the energy management system, and improve the energy management system.

Strict implementation of pollution reduction policies, and effectively protect the environment. The implementation of pollution reduction policies and measures to protect the safety of drinking water sources, increase the intensity of environmental pollution control in key industries, strengthen the implementation of environmental impact assessment environmental assessment system, carry out special environmental protection actions to protect the health of the people.

Continue to implement energy-saving and emission-reduction warnings to ensure the completion of the annual targets. Since the beginning of this year, Tongchuan City has continued to strengthen forecasting and early warning of energy-saving emission reductions, adhered to regular monthly communication, made quarterly energy-saving analysis and early-warning forecasts, and urged all counties to co-ordinate energy-saving management. In the first half of the year, the Shaanxi Province issued an energy warning notice to Tongchuan City, and the city took active measures to urgently supervise the city’s 17 key energy-consuming enterprises with annual energy consumption of over 3,000 tons of standard coal, and issued a status report in the name of the municipal government. The city’s emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction has effectively prevented the decline in energy conservation and emission reduction targets. The situation in the third quarter has significantly improved, and the energy consumption per unit of GDP has dropped by 0.1 percentage points over the first half of the year.
