Technological innovation leads comprehensive green transformation

2025-05-08   

Green development is the underpinning of high-quality development and an important component of Xi Jinping's economic thought., the first volume of Selected Economic Writings of Xi Jinping was published, systematically reflecting the rich content, scientific system and original contribution of Xi Jinping's economic, in which many works have made profound discussions on green development. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in Leading Development with New Development Concepts that "green, circular and low- development is the direction of the technological revolution and industrial transformation in the current era, and is the most promising field of development"; pointed out in Fully Advancing the Great Cause ofrengthening the Country and Reviving the Nation in the Chinese-Style Modernization that "we must speed up the green transformation of the mode of development, improve the diversity stability and sustainability of the ecosystem, actively and steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment"; and pointed out What is New Quality Productivity and How to Develop It that "we must accelerate the innovation of green science and technology and the promotion and application of advanced green technology, strengthen the green industry, develop the green service industry, expand the green energy industry, develop the green low-carbon industry and supply chain, and build a green low-carbon circular economic system" This series of important discussions provide an important guide for better promoting green development.

To promote green development, strengthening the scientific and technological innovation that supports green transformation is the key The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development, put forward key tasks for promoting green in all aspects, fields and regions, and made important arrangements for promoting the green and low-carbon technological revolution. To promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, we deeply study and understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discussions, understand and understand the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in the comprehensive green transformation, accurately grasp the main direction main focus, promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, build a green low-carbon circular economic system, and continuously create a new situation of coordinated development of economic growth, conservation and environmental protection.

Providing important support for a comprehensive green transformation
Promoting the green and low-carbon development the economy and society is not only a key link in achieving high-quality development, but also a fundamental strategy to alleviate the constraints of resources and the environment and solve environmental and ecological. After years of hard work, China has made remarkable achievements in green and low-carbon development, with related practices deepening day by day, laying a solid foundation for a, all-field, and all-region green transformation. The green transformation of the industrial structure has accelerated, with 126 iron and steel enterprises across the country having completed transformation to ultra-low emissions by the end of 2024, and 45 iron and steel enterprises partially completed the transformation to ultra-low emissions. The energy has undergone historic breakthroughs, with clean energy power generation reaching 371.26 billion kilowatt-hours in 2024, an increase of 6.4% over the previous year; and the production of new energy vehicles reaching 13.168 million, an increase of 38.7% over the year. China leads the world in the installed capacity of renewable energy, with more than 300 million kilowatts of new installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in2024, accounting for 86% of the new installed capacity of power generation. Ecological governance and carbon sinks capacity have been significantly enhanced, with a forest coverage exceeding 25% and a forest stock volume exceeding 20 billion cubic meters; as of the end of 2024, the cumulative total transactions of emission allow in China's carbon emission trading market reached 630 million tons, with a total transaction value of 43.03 billion yuan, and the trading scale to expand and the price is stable and rising.
Practice has proved that green development is a comprehensive and revolutionary transformation of the mode of production, lifestyle, way of thinking and values. Advances in a single field cannot meet the requirements of economic and social development at this stage, and we must grasp the word "comprehensive" and take scientific and innovation as the driving force and guarantee for adjusting the industrial structure and promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of the economy and society, so as to open up multiple channels for a green transformation.
On the one hand, the ability of independent innovation of green technology and the efficiency of energy and resource utilization need to be improved, which is still an important facing a comprehensive green transformation. Unblocking such key links can not only effectively enhance the ability of independent innovation and optimize the allocation of resources, but also improve the "green content" of the industrial system, stimulate new momentum of green growth, and achieve a win-win situation between ecological protection and economic development in the iterative upgrading of the industry. Scientific technological innovation, especially green technology innovation, can effectively reduce the carbon emission intensity, promote the low-carbon transformation of the industrial structure, expand the scale of the green low-carbon, and guide the green transformation of lifestyles.
On the other hand, emerging technologies are widely and deeply penetrating all fields of production and life, and can promote the improvement perfection of the system and mechanism of ecological civilization construction at a deeper level, thus achieving a systematic transformation from concept innovation to governance upgrade. Scientific and technological innovation can not only accelerate breakthrough of green technology innovation and the clean production transformation of traditional industries, but also promote the coordinated development of energy conservation and environmental protection industries, clean production industries, and clean energy industries build a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system, effectively curb high energy consumption and high emissions, reduce low-efficiency and low-quality output, and improve the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the ecosystem, and promote the fundamental improvement of the ecological environment.
China's investment and breakthroughs in the field of green technology not only provide strong support for the comprehensive green transformation of domestic economic and social development, but also contribute Chinese wisdom to the global green and low-carbon transformation and create a good external for China's green and low-carbon development.
