Energy-saving and environmental protection industry has a potential of 3 years or 4.5 trillion yuan

“Striving to achieve a total output value of 4.5 trillion yuan in energy-saving and environmental protection industries by 2015!” Yesterday, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission stated on the "12th Five-Year Plan for Energy-saving and Environmental Protection Industry Development" (hereinafter referred to as "planning") that China's energy-saving and environmental protection industry The huge potential for development will drive trillions of yuan in investment. Among them, the "planning" expected energy-saving environmental protection service industry to achieve 800 billion output value within 3 years.

Great potential of energy-saving and environmental protection industry Yesterday, the NDRC responded to a reporter’s question on “Planning” that as a new round of economic growth and emerging pillar industries, China’s energy-saving and environmental protection industries have great potential.

According to calculations, it is estimated that by 2015, energy saving will exceed 400 million tons of standard coal, which can drive a trillions of yuan in investment; the total output value of energy-saving and environmental protection industries will reach 4.5 trillion yuan, and the added value will account for an overall target of 2% of GDP. The annual output value of energy-saving and environmental protection industries will increase by more than 15%, and a batch of large-scale enterprise groups with international competitiveness will be cultivated.

The "planning" made it clear that the key areas for development during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period include the three major areas of key areas of energy conservation industry, key areas of resource recycling industry, and key areas of environmental protection industry; the eight major projects include major industrialization of energy-saving technologies and equipment, The industrial production of remanufacturing, the utilization of industrial waste resources, the cultivation of energy-saving and environmental protection service industries, and the output value reached about 3.03 trillion yuan by 2015.

The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that in response to the challenges of the global financial crisis and global climate change, the world's major economies have regard the development of green economy as an important part of stimulating economic growth, and the two major industries of energy saving, environmental protection and new energy are the main forces of the green economy. . In order to make our country occupy a favorable position in the new round of economic growth, we must constantly improve the competitiveness of energy-saving and environmental protection industries.

Li Jinliang, an expert from the International Cooperation Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, told the Nanfang Daily that the state has been paying attention to environmental issues since the 7th Five-Year Plan. By now, the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the basic environment and conditions for industrialization have been met, and the energy-saving and environmental protection industry must There will be great promise.

The output value of energy-saving and environmental protection services will reach 800 billion. The reporter noted that energy-saving services and environmental protection services have been mentioned nearly 10 times in the “planning” and have attracted attention. Among them, the energy conservation and environmental protection service industry cultivation project was listed as one of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” energy saving and environmental protection projects.

"Plan" clearly "strengthen contract energy management" and establish a comprehensive environmental protection service system. The State Council's plan is to use the contract energy management mechanism of the energy-saving service industry to maintain an average annual growth rate of 30%.

The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission predicts that by 2015, it will strive to develop more than 2,000 professional energy service companies, including 20 energy-saving service companies with an annual output value of more than 1 billion yuan, and the total output value of energy-saving service industry will exceed 300 billion yuan, accumulating energy savings. Its capacity is 60 million tons of standard coal; environmental protection service industry output value exceeds 500 billion yuan, of which more than 50 enterprises have an annual output value exceeding 1 billion yuan.

Statistics show that the proportion of service industry in the environmental protection industry in developed countries accounts for 50%-60%, while the proportion of environmental service industry in China's environmental protection industry is about 15%, and it is still in the initial stage of industrialization.

Li Yujun told the Nanfang Daily reporter that, in fact, the entire energy conservation and environmental protection industry started late in China and the industry’s big development is also after the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”. This is also true for energy conservation and environmental protection services. “Energy-saving and environmental protection service industries are extensively extended. Take environmental impact assessment as an example. Because of the small market and unclear profits, many of these early-stage research institutes were similar research institutes, universities, and other research institutions, and there was less market participation and capital entry.”

However, the "Planning" pointed out the direction for the energy conservation and environmental protection service industry and determined the development goals. Li Yujun told the reporter that the clear direction and goal given to the energy conservation and environmental protection service industry in the “Planning” will attract more funds and extensive market participation for the industry, which is a good policy for the industry.
