Han Jianguo: Energy companies need to practice low-carbon development of high-carbon companies

On August 9th, 2011, the opening ceremony of the "China Low-Carbon Model" event and the second "Low-Carbon Development-Low-Carbon Life" public welfare imagery hosted by China News Service and "China News Weekly" was held in Wangfujing, Beijing. 600859, shares it) held. Han Jianguo, deputy general manager and member of the Shenhua Group, said at the opening ceremony that while ensuring the country’s energy supply, Chinese energy companies must also implement the “high-carbon enterprise, low-carbon development” development strategy to demonstrate low-carbon efforts and achievements. . The following is the full text of the statement:

The 2nd "Low-carbon Development-Low-carbon Life" public welfare image exhibition promoted China's low-carbon development. On behalf of Shenhua Group, I hereby express my warm congratulations on the success of this exhibition.

Shenhua Group is China's most modernized and largest coal enterprise and the world's largest coal producer and distributor. It is an integrated coal, electricity, railway, port, and shipping development company. It is a multi-regional, cross-industry, diversified coal comprehensive energy company. enterprise. In recent years, under the correct leadership of the State Council, under the support of the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Council's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and other provinces and municipalities, the Shenhua Group has achieved leaps and bounds by relying on transformation and technological innovation.

Shenhua Group attaches great importance to the issue of climate change and puts forward the strategic direction of “high-carbon enterprises and low-carbon development”. It has initially explored a new type of industrialization road that has the characteristics of Shenhua, including rational development and clean transformation and utilization of coal. Shenhua Group shall build a “five-type” enterprise that is intrinsically safe, quality-effective, scientific and technologically innovative, resource-conserving, and harmoniously-developing, and creates a model of high-yield, high-efficiency, safe and environmentally-friendly construction, production, and operation, and implements a series of Key projects, and strive to achieve low-carbon development.

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, Shenhua Group accumulatively invested 4.8 billion yuan in energy saving and emission reduction through three major measures, over-achieved the assessment targets for energy conservation and emission reduction, and won the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” energy saving granted by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. The title of Excellent Enterprise for Emission Reduction.

Shenhua Group achieved a power coal consumption of 318 g of standard coal for the power industry, a year-on-year decrease of 2 g of standard coal; a unit removal rate of 99%; a unit out-of-stock transformation rate of 35%; and a reduction in CO2 and CO2 emissions. On the basis of annual emission reduction targets, they have dropped by another 3% and 1% respectively; the coal, power, coal chemical, and transportation sectors continue to maintain the industry's advanced level of energy conservation and emission reduction.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, Shenhua Group will launch the “12th Five-Year Plan” energy saving plan in real time according to the national “Twelfth Five-Year” comprehensive energy-saving and emission reduction work plan, energy-saving target decomposition plan, and total pollutant emission control plan. Emission reduction planning. Shenhua Group will break down the implementation of energy-saving emission reduction indicators, complete energy-saving emission reduction statistics, testing, assessment work, the implementation of the five-year goal and the completion of the annual target, combining the annual target assessment and quarterly tracking assessment. We will further adjust and optimize the industrial structure, implement key projects for energy conservation and emission reduction, promote energy-saving and emission reduction in key areas, improve the long-term mechanism for energy-saving and emission reduction, and strive to successfully accomplish the goals and tasks of the “12th Five-Year Plan” for energy-saving and emission reduction.

The development of a low-carbon economy and the realization of sustainable development have become the consensus of all walks of life and require the actions of all citizens. While striving to ensure the country’s energy supply, the Shenhua Group will actively fulfill the social responsibilities of the central SOEs and use actual actions to interpret the positions and attitudes of Chinese energy companies in responding to climate change and demonstrate the efforts and achievements of Chinese energy companies in reducing carbon emissions. Shenhua Group will continue to rely on institutional innovation, scientific and technological progress, capital investment, publicity and education, and other working mechanisms to contribute to the sustainable development of China in the historical process of “high-carbon companies and low-carbon development”.
