Minister of Environmental Protection, National Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Video Conference

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China's economy will continue to develop rapidly, and the total energy resource consumption will continue to grow. The pollution reduction targets have been expanded from chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide to four, increasing ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxides; the emission reduction field has expanded from the original industry and towns to transportation and rural areas. It is clearly required that on the basis of the increase in digestion, the chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emissions will be reduced by 8%, the ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen oxide emissions will be reduced by 10%, and the absolute reduction will account for about 30% of the emission base. The task is very arduous.

From the first half of this year, chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emissions continued to decline, but ammonia nitrogen emissions only fell by 0.73%, and nitrogen oxide emissions increased by 6.17%, with annual planned emission reduction targets and the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. The identified goals are very different. The Ministry of Environmental Protection will effectively unify thoughts and actions to the decision-making arrangements of the State Council, resolutely implement the requirements of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction of the State Council", and work with relevant departments and local governments to focus on the following five tasks. .

First, strengthen the target responsibility and increase accountability. We will promptly organize and sign the “12th Five-Year” emission reduction target responsibility letter with the people's governments of the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), the five major power group companies, the State Grid Corporation, and PetroChina and Sinopec Group. Revise and improve the statistical monitoring and assessment of major pollutants emission reduction, accounting procedures for emission reduction verification, and evaluate and assess the completion of the total amount reduction target responsibility book and annual emission reduction targets. After the assessment results are reported to the State Council, they will be announced to the public and the rewards and punishments will be strictly implemented. Measures.

The second is to decompose the total indicators and implement the emission reduction tasks as soon as possible. Supervise all localities in accordance with national requirements, reasonably determine the total emission control targets of the region, decompose and implement emission reduction tasks at different levels, and clarify the responsibilities of the next level of government, relevant departments and key enterprises. It is not allowed to break through the control indicators, nor is it allowed to adopt a layered overweight and one-size-fits-all approach to evenly distribute emission reduction targets.

The third is to sum up experience and continue to promote structural emission reduction, engineering emission reduction and management emission reduction. Put structural emissions reductions in a more prominent position. The environmental protection departments at all levels fully cooperated with relevant departments, used the mechanism of reducing emissions, urged all localities to complete the task of eliminating backward production capacity issued by the state on schedule, and strengthened the verification of emission reductions for eliminating backward production capacity. For enterprises that have not been eliminated according to the prescribed time limit, the pollution discharge permit shall be revoked; the key cases shall be listed and supervised, and the responsibility for false elimination shall be investigated according to law. Continue to strengthen engineering emission reduction. The key projects for emission reduction will be included in the responsibility letters for emission reduction targets of local and major group companies. Environmental protection departments at all levels must strengthen environmental supervision of project construction to ensure that key projects are implemented one by one. For regional or group companies that cannot complete the construction of key projects on time and ensure normal operation, the regional and industrial EIA documents will be strictly approved, and construction projects other than people's livelihood projects, energy conservation and emission reduction, ecological environmental protection and infrastructure construction will be suspended. . Strict implementation of management emission reduction. Promote the standardization of environmental supervision capabilities, and focus on improving pollution source monitoring, motor vehicle pollution monitoring, agricultural source pollution detection and emission reduction management capabilities. Implement the national fourth-stage motor vehicle emission standards, gradually implement the national fifth-stage emission standards in some key cities, comprehensively improve the fuel quality of vehicles, and strengthen the supervision of environmental indicators for vehicle fuels. Strengthen the environmental monitoring of key polluting enterprises and issue a list of state-controlled enterprises with major pollutants exceeding the standard. Before the end of 2012, key enterprises in the thermal power, steel, paper, printing and dyeing industries, as well as urban sewage treatment plants, must complete the construction of operational monitoring platforms and automatic monitoring systems, and seriously investigate and punish the production operations records, online monitoring, and emission reduction accounts. behavior.

The fourth is strict environmental impact assessment and effective control of new emissions. Improve and strictly implement the pollutant discharge standards of thermal power, chemical, paper, printing and dyeing industries, and use the total pollutant discharge index as the precondition for the environmental impact assessment, and carry out pilot coal consumption control in key areas of air pollution joint prevention and control joint control, The power, steel, paper, printing and dyeing industries will control the total discharge of major pollutants. Establish tracking, monitoring and early warning systems for total pollutant discharge in key areas and key industries, and strictly control new projects in high-energy-consuming and high-emission industries. The EIA process should be open and transparent, and fully seek the opinions of experts and the public. If the EIA document is started without authorization, and any major changes are made without authorization during the construction process, and the illegal acts of the “three simultaneous inspections” without the environmental protection, such as unauthorized production, the relevant personnel shall be investigated for their responsibilities.

The fifth is to improve incentive policies and improve long-term mechanisms. Make full use of environmental economic policies and market means to promote pollution reduction. We will deepen the reform of environmental protection fees and appropriately raise the charging standards for sewage charges. Strictly implement the desulfurization price and promote the introduction of the flue gas denitration price policy for coal-fired power plants as soon as possible. Establish and improve the paid acquisition and use of emissions rights. Establish incentives for financial subsidies for corporate and regional emission reductions. At the same time, actively explore innovative policy measures that are conducive to enterprises and the public to participate in emission reduction.

After the meeting, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will conscientiously implement the spirit of Premier Wen Jiabao's important speech, resolutely complete the "12th Five-Year Plan" key pollutant emission reduction targets, and make new contributions to maintaining stable and rapid economic development and improving people's livelihood.
