Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Commerce, the People's Bank of China, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Energy Administration, issued the "About Coordinating Energy Conservation, Carbon Reduction, and Recycling. Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Renewal and Transformation of Product Equipment in Key Areas (Fagai Huanzi [2023] No. 178, hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"). In order to facilitate the parties concerned to accurately understand and grasp the content of the policy, the responsible comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission were interviewed and answered questions from reporters.

Q: What is the background of the "Guiding Opinions"?

Answer:my country is a big country in the production and use of various products and equipment. Actively doing a good job in the upgrading and recycling of product equipment in key areas is of great significance to accelerating the formation of a new development pattern and smoothing the domestic cycle. It is also an important means to expand effective investment and consumption, and actively and steadily promote carbon peak carbon neutrality. First, the production and sales of products and equipment in key areas are large, and promoting renewal and transformation is conducive to smoothing the domestic cycle. Relevant agencies estimate that currently in the fields of energy, industry, construction, transportation, and residents' lives in my country, boilers, motor, Power transformers, refrigeration, lighting, household appliances and other products and equipment have more than 5 billion units (sets). Based on my country's strong domestic market and complete industrial system, we will promote the upgrading and recycling of product equipment as a whole, which will help expand effective investment and consumption, and promote the realization of production, use, renewal, elimination, and recycling industrial chain cycles. Secondly, the energy consumption of related products and equipment is high, and the potential for energy saving and carbon reduction is huge. Relevant data show that the annual energy consumption of products and equipment in key fields in my country accounts for about 80% of the total energy consumption in the country, and the energy efficiency of some products and equipment in use is low. Needs to be strengthened. Taking energy saving and carbon reduction as an important guide, accelerating the upgrading of product equipment is an important means to actively and steadily promote carbon peak carbon neutrality. Third, there are abundant resources of waste products and equipment, and the environmental and economic benefits of recycling resources are significant. Waste products and equipment contain rich metal resources, which are huge "urban minerals". Strengthening the recycling of waste products and equipment will help reduce the exploitation of primary mineral resources. The professional remanufacturing of waste products and equipment can significantly save energy, materials and reduce carbon emissions compared with manufacturing new products, and achieve greater resource, environmental and economic benefits.

In order to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and conscientiously implement the decision-making and deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, formulated the "Guiding Opinions" on the basis of in-depth research and extensive listening to opinions and suggestions. General requirements, main objectives, key tasks and safeguard measures for product equipment renewal and recycling work. The first batch of focused boilers, Motors, power transformers, refrigeration, lighting, household appliances and other 6 types of products and equipment, supporting the issuance of the Implementation Guide for Renovation and Recycling (2023 Edition) , further refine the target tasks, and strengthen the work guidance for local and related industries and enterprises.

Q: What goals does the Guidance put forward?

Answer:The "Guiding Opinions" is divided into two stages: 2025 and 2030. According to the principle of combining quantitative and qualitative, it is proposed for different products and equipment Targets for renovation and recycling efforts.

By 2025, the market share of high-efficiency energy-saving products and equipment will be further increased by coordinating and promoting the upgrading and recycling of product equipment in key areas. Compared with 2021, the average operating thermal efficiencies of industrial boilers and power plant boilers will increase by 5 percentage points and 0.5 percentage points respectively. %; box-sizing: border-box !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important; background-color: rgb(115, 250, 121);">motor, high-efficiency and energy-saving power transformers in operation The proportion of high-efficiency and energy-saving products in major household appliances in use increased by more than 5 percentage points and 10 percentage points respectively. The high-efficiency and energy-saving products accounted for 40%, 60%, and 50% of Yungong’s commercial refrigeration equipment, household refrigeration equipment, and general lighting equipment, respectively. The recycling of waste products and equipment will be more standardized and smooth, and a group of advanced models for the recycling and utilization of waste products and equipment that can be replicated and promoted will be formed, and the recycling of major renewable resources such as scrap iron and steel, waste non-ferrous metals, and waste plastics will reach 450 million tons.

By 2030, the energy efficiency level of products and equipment in key areas will be further improved, and the overall energy efficiency level and carbon emission intensity of key industries and fields will be promoted to reach the international advanced level. The synergistic effect of product equipment renovation and recycling has been effectively enhanced, and the level of resource conservation and intensive utilization has been significantly improved, providing strong support for the smooth realization of the goal of carbon peaking.

Q: What are the main tasks deployed in the Guiding Opinions?

Answer:The "Guiding Opinions" proposes to adhere to the principle of "focusing on key points, advancing steadily, rationally setting standards, classifying guidance, saving and intensifying, smooth circulation, and market-oriented 11 key tasks have been deployed around the three aspects of accelerating energy-saving and carbon-reducing renovation, improving the recycling system, and strengthening support and guarantee.
