Cumulatively built 170 national-level green factories, 16 national-level green industrial parks, and 18 national-level green supply chain management enterprises. Energy consumption per unit of GDP has decreased to 0.31 tons of standard coal per 10,000 yuan, 30% better than the national average…
In recent years, Chongqing has incorporated “green and low-carbon” as a foundational element of manufacturing development into its “33618” modern manufacturing cluster system and “416” technological innovation layout, gradually establishing a “comprehensive and multi-level” green manufacturing system. In recent days, the research team visited multiple districts, industrial parks, and enterprises to document their effective practices and experiences in promoting green and low-carbon development in the industrial sector, including several representative cases.
Case One
A “Special Subsidy + Low-Interest Financing” Initiative Drives “Win-Win” Outcomes
“During our energy-saving and carbon-reduction technological transformation, through the bespoke service provided by the Beibei District Ecological Environment Bureau, we not only received a special subsidy but also secured a low-interest loan from financial institutions for the project. It’s very effective!” Recently, the deputy general manager of Chongqing Fuhuang Building Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Fuhuang Building Materials) finally felt relieved.
Fuhuang Building Materials is a traditional cement production enterprise in Beibei District. As the district’s first “climate investment and financing” pilot project, the company used this funding to successfully implement technological upgrades to its cement grinding production line.
“Climate investment and financing” refers to financial activities aimed at addressing climate change, including various methods such as public finance and financial loans to raise funds for technological transformation in high-pollution, high-energy-consumption production enterprises, supporting their adoption of renewable energy and green, low-carbon technologies.
“After the technological transformation project is completed, it is expected that the company will reduce standard coal usage by 4,007 tons annually, electricity consumption by 32.6 million kilowatt-hours, nitrogen oxide emissions by approximately 170 tons, carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 42,000 tons, and increase comprehensive benefits by nearly 38 million yuan!” said the deputy general manager. Through “special subsidies + low-interest financing,” the company has achieved a “win-win” situation for both economic development and ecological environmental protection.
Since the beginning of this year, the Beibei District Ecological Environment Bureau has flexibly used financial tools and special environmental subsidies, implementing “special subsidies + green financing” to provide substantial support for the green development of enterprises in its jurisdiction, promoting the synergistic effects of pollution reduction and carbon reduction. Since the implementation of this enterprise-friendly initiative, “government, banks, and enterprises” have deeply collaborated through policy incentives and financial tool innovation, forming a “capital leverage—technology upgrade—emission reduction and efficiency improvement” model, leading to a “double harvest” of economic and social benefits.
Interpretation >>>
The “special subsidy + green financing” enterprise-friendly initiative implemented by the Beibei District Ecological Environment Bureau is a specialized support service for enterprises in the district undertaking green manufacturing, environmental governance, and other pollution and carbon reduction projects. It includes both special fund subsidies and low-interest financing loans provided by government departments in collaboration with multiple financial institutions, leveraging their distinctive green financial policies.
Since last year, we have held multiple bank-enterprise matching events, helping a number of enterprises secure special subsidies and financial institution funding, effectively reducing the cost of environmental upgrades. Moving forward, we will continue to advance this enterprise-friendly initiative, deepen the application of green financial products, actively strive for special environmental protection funds, and empower enterprises for high-quality green and low-carbon development.
Case Two
A Pilot Initiative Spurs Industrial Parks to Develop “New Green Manufacturing”
Industrial parks are both the “main阵地” of industry and the “main battlefield” for carbon reduction. In 2023, the city established the first batch of nine near-zero carbon emission pilot parks, including several municipal-level industrial parks such as the Dadukou Chongqing Jianqiao Industrial Park (hereinafter referred to as Jianqiao Park).
After more than two years of operation, these pilot industrial parks have developed “new green manufacturing.”
On the factory roof of Hikvision Technology Company in Jianqiao Park, over 8,000 blue photovoltaic panels gleam in the sunlight. This is the company making full use of “roof resources” to convert solar energy into electricity, enabling the enterprise to “generate and use its own electricity, with excess fed into the grid,” resulting in an annual electricity generation of approximately 2.6 million kilowatt-hours, saving 930 tons of standard coal, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by
