For the first time in the country, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province explores ecological environment zoning management and control from three dimensions

How to promote the transformation of industrial enterprises to total and intensity control of carbon emissions, and form an incentive and restraint mechanism to reduce pollution and carbon emissions is related to whether the carbon reduction goal can be achieved. On September 27, the four departments of Huzhou City Ecological Environment Bureau, Development and Reform Commission, Economic and Information Technology Bureau and Statistics Bureau jointly released the "Collaborative Management Plan for Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction in Huzhou City Ecological Environment Zoning", innovatively incorporating climate change requirements into the ecological environment zoning management and control system, realizing ecological environment zoning management and control to promote synergy and efficiency of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and serving high-quality economic development and high-level ecological environment protection.

"Environmental Impact Assessment + Carbon Assessment", there are "skills" available to reduce pollution and carbon

Exploring the technical paths and management models for ecological environment zoning management and control to promote coordinated management and control of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, Huzhou City conducts pilot exploration from three dimensions: "project environmental assessment + carbon assessment","planning environmental assessment + carbon assessment" and "three-line one single + carbon assessment", exploring the synergy effect path of pollution reduction and carbon reduction from local to overall, so as to achieve coordinated promotion of pollution reduction and carbon reduction management from macro to micro.

"We have carried out 'project environmental assessment + carbon assessment' exploration in nine key industries including thermal power, petrochemicals, chemicals, steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, papermaking, printing and dyeing, and chemical fiber, and completed 51 'project environmental assessment + carbon assessment' to control pollutants While discharging pollutants, it effectively controls the access of high-carbon emission projects, and identifies pollution reduction measures and control requirements for projects in key industries." Pan Ming, director of the Ecological Environment Bureau of Huzhou City, said.

Combining environmental assessment with carbon assessment, companies can use this to understand their own carbon emissions and carry out transformation and upgrading according to the "carbon assessment" recommendations. The Huzhou City Ecological Environment Bureau has carried out "planning environmental assessment + carbon assessment" exploration in typical parks such as the South Taihu New Area and the Yangtze River Delta (Huzhou) Industrial Cooperation Zone to open up pollution reduction and carbon reduction channels between different industries and different fields in the park, and promote the recycling of resources in the park.

Pan Ming told reporters that Huzhou has gone through three years of exploration and demonstration by combining environmental assessment with carbon assessment. In South Taihu New Area, in response to the overall planning, a full-field all-factor pollution reduction and carbon reduction evaluation was conducted in the fields of industry, transportation, energy and tourism. 20 pollution reduction and carbon reduction projects were identified and promoted. It is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 476,700 tons per year, reduce wastewater emissions by 41,800 tons, reduce exhaust gas pollutants by 9,04.17 tons, and comprehensively utilize solid waste by 558,400 tons. Similarly, in the newly established Yangtze River Delta (Huzhou) Industrial Cooperation Zone, which focuses on green industry development, combined with industrial development plans, an evaluation of pollution reduction and carbon reduction focusing on the industrial sector has been carried out, promoting the "Regional Resource Circulation" centered on thermal power enterprises in the zone, identifying and promoting 12 pollution reduction and carbon reduction projects, which are expected to reduce carbon emissions by 254,200 tons, reduce wastewater emissions by 300,000 tons, reduce exhaust gas pollutants by 87 tons, and comprehensively utilize solid waste by 155,000 tons every year.

"Target + List", synergy between zoning control and pollution reduction and carbon reduction

"Through the exploration of 'project environmental assessment + carbon assessment' and 'planning environmental assessment + carbon assessment', Huzhou City has also integrated pollution reduction and carbon reduction measures and requirements identified from individual projects, regional cross-projects, regional cross-fields, etc. into the ecological environment zoning management and control system." Pan Ming said.

At the same time, based on the spatial synergy between ecological environment zoning control and pollution reduction and carbon reduction, Huzhou City combines environmental quality goals, energy resource goals and "double carbon" goals to put energy resource utilization, environmental quality bottom line and ecological protection red line online, and the results of the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction are placed on the same list, forming the "Access List for Coordinated Management and Control of Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction in Ecological Environment Zoning." Based on the regional characteristics and development positioning of the 104 designated key management and control units in industrial clusters, key management and control units in urban life, priority protection units and general management and control units, a coordinated environment of "pollution reduction and carbon reduction" in spatial layout has been formed. Access management and control requirements guide the preparation of regional planning environmental assessments and project environmental assessments, guide the government and departments in policy formulation, planning preparation, law enforcement supervision, and achieve synergy and efficiency of pollution reduction and carbon reduction through reasonable overall planning. In the end, we will avoid "reducing pollution and increasing carbon, reducing carbon and increasing pollution" from the source, promote the greening of projects and the green transformation of parks, and achieve coordinated management of pollution reduction and carbon reduction across the region.

"Data + Platform", department linkage and sharing

In the "Zhejiang Environmental Assessment" application scenario on the Zhejiang Office APP, more than 5 million pieces of data from multiple departments such as land space, nature reserves, industrial parks, project establishment information, school sensitive points, and administrative office sensitive points are collected. The system can automatically perform intelligent research and judgment on project access such as "spatial layout analysis","pollutant emission control analysis","environmental risk prevention and control analysis" and "carbon evaluation" based on the integrated research and judgment database.

"By integrating data and information from departments such as development and reform, economics and information technology, statistics, etc., and integrating data on electricity, gas, coal, and oil for production and operation of enterprises, we divide enterprises into 5 carbon efficiency levels to form a 'carbon efficiency code', and Integrate into the ecological environment zoning management and control system to provide enterprises with precise carbon reduction management services." Chen Ge, director of the Green Manufacturing Division of the Huzhou City Economic and Information Bureau, introduced it to reporters.

Based on the carbon emission intensity of industrial enterprises, industry carbon utilization efficiency and clean energy proportion, the carbon efficiency status of enterprises can be evaluated, the "carbon efficiency code" level can be automatically benchmarked, the energy consumption and carbon consumption level of enterprises can be judged, and project owners can be automatically reminded in a timely manner Pay attention to the linkage of pollution reduction and carbon reduction measures, and propose guidelines for pollution reduction and carbon reduction measures.

"In the next step, Huzhou City will also implement a 'six-in-one' ecological environment access management system of 'three lines, one order + planning environmental assessment + project environmental assessment + emission permit + law enforcement supervision + supervision and assessment' within the ecological environment system, realizing a precise 'double control' management system from access to supervision to inspection." Pan Ming said.
