Recently, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on the theme of "Promoting High-Quality Development". Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will firmly establish and practice the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", implement the implementation plan for carbon peak in the industrial sector, accelerate industrial green transformation, and focus on Efforts from the following aspects.

In terms of promoting green and low-carbon transformation, we will implement in-depth energy conservation and carbon reduction actions, mainly focusing on key industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, and petrochemical chemicals and key areas such as data centers and communication base stations, and collaboratively promote digitalization and green transformation to improve energy efficiency. Support enterprises to build a number of digital energy and carbon management centers. Accelerate the construction of a resource recycling system, promote the large-scale and high-value utilization of industrial solid waste and renewable resources, and improve resource security capabilities.

In terms of building a green manufacturing system, we have issued an action plan for green and low-carbon development of the manufacturing industry, implemented green manufacturing projects, cultivated green factories and green industrial parks, and took the lead in creating a number of green supply chains in the fields of aviation, shipbuilding, new energy vehicles, energy electronics and other fields. Actively explore effective methods for carbon footprint management of industrial products and promote the formulation of a number of carbon footprint accounting standards for key products.

In terms of cultivating and strengthening green industries, we will strengthen the development and supply of green and low-carbon technology equipment products, accelerate the development of green and low-carbon industries such as hydrogen energy, new energy storage, environmental protection equipment, green smart computing, and smart microgrids, and continue to create new advantages in industrial competition.
