The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 8 departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Transformation and Upgrading of Traditional Manufacturing Industry" not long ago, proposing that by 2027, the development level of high-end, intelligent, green and integrated traditional manufacturing industry will be significantly improved. How to promote the green transformation of the traditional manufacturing industry and accelerate its transformation to a green and low-carbon model that is environmentally friendly and ecologically balanced has become the meaning of the topic.
In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry, and has achieved remarkable results. As of April 2023, China has created a total of 3,616 green factories, formulated and revised more than 500 relevant standards in the fields of industrial energy conservation, low carbon, and comprehensive utilization of resources, and the total output value of the photovoltaic industry has exceeded 14 trillion yuan, the production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years, and the green level of traditional manufacturing industry has continued to improve. From the local level, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places have successively introduced relevant plans for energy conservation and consumption reduction and optimal allocation of energy resources, green economic development action plans and other policies, actively promote the emission reduction of high-carbon manufacturing industry, encourage and support green technology innovation, and cultivate and expand emerging green industries. Shanghai has also recently formulated the Regulations on Promoting the Green Transformation of Shanghai's Development Mode in the form of local legislation, pointing out that it is necessary to promote the deep integration of industrial digitalization and greening, and promote the green transformation of steel, petrochemical, electric power, transportation, construction and other fields. This series of measures, through the overall planning of short-term goals and long-term interests, on the basis of respecting the laws of the market, give full play to the first-class regulation and control function, and provide useful experience for the green transformation of the traditional manufacturing industry.
On the whole, China is currently in the stage of rapid development of industrialization, extensive and inefficient, environmental pollution and other problems are more prominent, high consumption, high emissions are still the main characteristics of the development of traditional manufacturing industry, coupled with the transformation enthusiasm of some enterprises is not high, green technology innovation ability is not strong, to a certain extent, hindering the high-quality development of traditional manufacturing industry. In order to break the bottleneck of environmental resource constraints, we must adhere to the new path of industrialization, adhere to the principle of rule of law and marketization, be problem-oriented and innovation-driven, promote the conservation and intensive utilization of various resources, and focus on stock transformation and incremental guidance.
Accelerate green technology innovation and activate the internal driving force for the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industries. Relevant regions should focus on building a green technology innovation system, strengthen coordination and cooperation between science and technology, intellectual property and other departments, further improve the transformation of achievements and technology transactions related to green technology, and increase support for enterprises' green technology innovation activities. At the same time, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider the actual situation of local economic and social development, and promote the integrated development of talents, capital, industry and other factors in the green technology chain by strengthening the self-discipline management of manufacturing industry associations, so as to provide sufficient institutional guarantee for the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry.
Pay attention to regional coordinated development, and jointly promote the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry. Regional synergy is the key to the green transformation of the traditional manufacturing industry. Relevant regions should implement the regional integration development strategy, adhere to the principle of comprehensiveness and systematization, actively establish cooperation and cooperation mechanisms with relevant provinces and cities, and strengthen cooperation in scientific and technological innovation, industrial development, information sharing and other aspects in view of the actual difficulties of the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry, improve communication between enterprises, and realize experience sharing and mutual learning of models. At the same time, it is also necessary to adhere to the equal emphasis on "bringing in" and "going out", actively benchmark green international rules, promote a higher level of international cooperation, promote the docking and integration of global green advanced technology and domestic industries, and create a good development environment for the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry.
Strengthen policy incentives and improve the green financial service system. Relevant regions should carry out mechanism design from the perspective of strengthening organizational guarantees and improving supporting measures, increase financial support for activities such as green technology innovation and financial services, expand the coverage of relevant preferential tax policies such as energy conservation and environmental protection, ecological construction, etc., and encourage traditional manufacturing enterprises to independently assume the responsibility for green transformation. It is also necessary to continuously optimize the green financial service system, innovate financial businesses such as green credit, green bonds, and green insurance, introduce social capital in a timely manner, explore the establishment of green industry investment, and provide financial support for related projects to meet the needs of the green transformation of the traditional manufacturing industry.
Consolidate the main responsibilities of all parties and strengthen coordinated social governance. Promoting the green transformation of the traditional manufacturing industry is inseparable from the joint efforts of multiple subjects such as society, society and enterprises. Relevant regions should clarify the specific responsibilities of functional departments such as science and technology and finance, strengthen information sharing and coordination between departments, and improve the long-term working mechanism for promoting the green transformation of traditional manufacturing industries. It is also necessary to focus on the relevant difficulties, pain points and blocking points, through the construction of a leading and leading enterprise, enterprise participation, and national supervision, to guide the traditional manufacturing industry to strictly abide by the law, prohibit the illegal production and sale of disposable products, with the help of publicity and popularization, demonstration and other means, encourage enterprises to take the initiative to force high pollution, high emission production methods to withdraw from the market, form a social atmosphere of green life and environmental protection consumption, and comprehensively improve the level of green manufacturing.
