Polaris Carbon Manager Network was informed that in order to conscientiously implement the major decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on carbon peaking and carbon neutralization, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other nine departments jointly compiled and issued the "Science and Technology Supporting Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutralization Implementation Plan ( 2022-2030)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Plan”). In order to speed up the implementation of the "Implementation Plan", on August 18, 2022, the Ministry of Science and Technology held the first meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Mechanism for Carbon Peak Carbon Neutral Science and Technology Innovation in Beijing. Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang presided over the meeting. Zhao Chenxin, Deputy Director of the Reform Commission, Zhang Yudong, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, and Zhang Tao, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Minister Wang Zhigang conveyed and learned the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutral Science and Technology Innovation, and Vice Minister Zhang Yudong read out the "Ministry of Science and Technology National Development and Reform Commission on Establishing Carbon Peak Carbon Neutral Science and Technology Innovation Inter-ministerial Coordination". Mechanism Notice" and reported the relevant considerations of the Ministry of Science and Technology on the implementation of the "Implementation Plan". Vice President Zhang Tao and representatives of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the Academy of Engineering, and the Energy Bureau introduced the department's promotion of carbon peaking and carbon neutral technology innovation The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the State Administration of Market Supervision, the Forestry and Grass Bureau and other member units reported the progress and opinions and suggestions of their departments in promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutral technology innovation.

Zhao Chenxin, co-leader of the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism and deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, emphasized in his speech that we must do a good job in three aspects: first, we must earnestly study and deeply understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech and instructions on carbon neutrality. , and earnestly assume the responsibility of carbon peak carbon neutral technology innovation. Second, adhere to goal orientation and problem orientation, give full play to the role of overall planning and coordination, accelerate the research and development and promotion of advanced and applicable technologies in key fields such as energy, industry, urban and rural construction, and transportation, strengthen basic research and frontier technology layout such as carbon capture, utilization and storage, and strengthen Build innovation capacity and accelerate the promotion of green and low-carbon technological revolution. The third is to strengthen the coordination and cooperation of departments. The leading department must take the lead responsibility, and the participating departments must actively cooperate with each other, implement the "Implementation Plan", and provide strong scientific and technological support for the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality as scheduled.

Wang Zhigang, Minister of Science and Technology, pointed out that the first is to improve the political position and fully understand and grasp the historical mission of carbon-peak and carbon-neutral scientific and technological innovation. It is necessary to deeply study and understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech and a series of instructions on the combination of scientific and technological innovation and dual-carbon work. Fully implement the new development concept, and do a good job in the implementation of the "Implementation Plan". The second is to take scientific and technological innovation as the foothold and logical starting point of the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism. It is necessary to start from the overall low-carbon technology innovation system, to design the top-level, and to promote low-carbon technology innovation in energy, industry, transportation, construction and other fields in an orderly manner according to the development stages and applicable scenarios of different technologies. The third is to pay close attention to the implementation, division of labor is responsible for the implementation of various tasks. All member units should organically combine scientific and technological innovation with the goals and tasks of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in relevant industry sectors, so that scientific and technological innovation becomes an important support and means for relevant industry sectors to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. The goal of carbon neutrality is to become the "reverse force" of technological innovation, and to create a favorable policy environment for low-carbon technological innovation in related industries. The fourth is to strengthen the coordination of departments and form a situation of joint efforts to promote low-carbon technological innovation. All member units should make full use of the platform of the coordination mechanism. Focusing on the major tasks and propositions of carbon-neutral scientific and technological innovation in Carbon Dafeng, fully implement "jointly condense scientific research needs, jointly design research and development tasks, and jointly organize and implement projects" under the mechanism. The Office of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Mechanism shall provide services to member units and experts, and strengthen the monitoring, analysis and overall coordination of the implementation of relevant tasks.
