Low Carbon Dongtai for Low Carbon Cities

The Copenhagen Conference has come to an end. The difficult negotiations on the future of the planet and mankind have melted the tip of the iceberg, and the game and competition around the sharing of responsibility for emission reduction has become "white-hot". China's commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40 to 45 percent by 2020, based on 2005 levels, will surely be passed on and broken down into the urban development and industrial strategies of county economies, including Dongtai.

The just concluded Central Economic Work Conference emphasized "the strategic planning of low-carbon economic development, proposed to cultivate the development of strategic emerging industries, including new energy, new materials, transforming the mode of economic development, and enhance the inexhaustible power of sustainable development." Also at the end of last month, 31, Dongtai Municipal Party Committee twelve seven plenary (enlarged) meeting put forward a new year, "to protect growth, adjust the structure, promote transformation, build harmony" development tasks, emphasizing that "protection of growth and adjust the structure, promote transformation more closely together, and actively grasp the energy saving and emission reduction work, transforming and enhance the traditional industrial structure, growing the scale of emerging industries, and constantly promote the urbanization of Dongtai."

Whether from the government's work clearly put forward the "innovation of industrial structure, scientific planning of ecological wetland city construction, promote energy saving and emission reduction innovation under the circular economy, accelerate the cluster economy of the connotation of" the development concept of the proposed goals, or Dongtai has a "low-carbon cities "The comparative advantage of resources to see, promote Dongtai "low carbon city" construction, can be said to be the right time, in line with the development.

The international economic crisis sweeping the globe has brought unprecedented challenges and opportunities to our country in promoting scientific and technological progress, adjusting the economic and industrial structure, promoting the development of circular economy in the city, and realizing sustainable economic and social development. From an economic point of view, energy and environment have become the main bottlenecks of China's sustainable development. According to the current development model, it takes two Earths for Chinese people to reach the living standards of European and American countries. In addition, to sustain China's rapid development in terms of GDP, the lower limit of development is 8% per year, while our resources can only support economic development up to 4%, and many resources have been overexploited. For us to grow, choices have to be made. This is a strong reversal by the Chinese government, and we are moving towards a "low carbon economy" without choices. History has shown us that every economic crisis is often accompanied by a new technological revolution. The economic cycle after the trough will often give rise to new technologies and industries within a certain period of time, which will lead to a new prosperity of the whole economy. A "low carbon city" is a city with a low carbon economy as its model and direction, a low carbon life as its concept and behavioral characteristics, and a low carbon society as the blueprint for the government and public administration.  The development of a city's low carbon economy industry can not only provide support for the revitalization of traditional industries, but also find opportunities for its own development in the process. As far as Dongtai is concerned, if it takes the lead in the development of a "low carbon city" by developing a low carbon economy and making Dongtai a "low carbon city" business card, it will not only attract capital and technology, promote industrial upgrading and optimization, but also improve energy efficiency and optimize the economic structure, Promote the low-carbon consumer behavior, it can also make Dongtai's civilized city image can be further enhanced, from the brand marketing point of view, Dongtai if the launch of the "low-carbon city" construction, and is the only county-level city in the province to seize the low-carbon, ecological "mental resources ", and won the "competitive pivot" with other developed cities, to subtly improve the power ratio with them, with the "low carbon city" use of the sharp knife inserted in the blanks of competitors, can be more to win the "low carbon city". "Low-carbon city" brand opportunities. In addition, the city's low-carbon can also penetrate into the social economy, cultural system and even all aspects of daily life, with a fairly long industrial chain, enough to form a new economic force, affecting the development and competition pattern.

After the coastal development of Jiangsu Province was elevated to a "national strategy", Dongtai immediately put forward the development idea of "playing the ecological card, taking the green road, pulling the industrial chain, and building a special area". This reflects the government's strategic spatial thinking on urban development, reflecting the government's administrative efficiency and the government's comprehensive ability to manage the economy; reflecting the Dongtai city spirit of sociological significance of the city's development wisdom; reflecting the respect for history, respect for the development process of the materialist concept of history *** with the philosophical basis; reflecting the development of the different periods of time, the development of urban planning must be in line with the actual, but also with the times *** with the concept of character; reflecting in a certain way in a certain way in a certain way in the development of the city's development. Character; embodies the basic value of the development of Dongtai in a certain subject under the rationalization of the basic value of the *** with the value orientation. The concept of "low carbon city" promotes the harmony between human and nature, abandons the "extensive" economy, transitions to the "intensive" economy, and advocates health, conservation, equality, coordination, **** survival, and the coordination of spiritual pursuits and material satisfaction. Existence, spiritual pursuit and material fulfillment of coordination, a variety of cultural complementarity and penetration in the new round of economic planning in Dongtai has been fully manifested. It is not possible to "return the favor" by "taking the other's way". "Post-Copenhagen era", Dongtai has recognized the economic structural contradictions increasingly prominent, the construction of low-level repetitive projects more, the lack of high-tech projects, the proportion of traditional industries is still large, the growth mode is biased in favor of the crude, innovation-driven insufficient, etc., which in the municipal party committee twelve seventh meeting has formed "Only to accelerate economic transformation, in order to realize the new situation of comprehensive and coordinated sustainable economic and social development **** knowledge."

Advocating the construction of a "low-carbon city" for Dongtai is not blindly following the trend, but in the past, Dongtai's urban strategy and the basis of urban development has been "quasi-low-carbon", and then more importantly, Dongtai is in the hinterland of the coastal development of Jiangsu, Nantong And more importantly, Dongtai is in the hinterland of Jiangsu coastal development, Nantong and Yancheng coast of the important node, as the "Pacific west coast of the only uncontaminated wetland", Dongtai has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the ecological and food safety as an important agricultural base for the export of southern Jiangsu. In fact, in the past five months, Dongtai has politely declined 11 projects that do not meet the low-carbon industry-oriented and energy environmental assessment review, involving an investment of up to 1.6 billion yuan. "Post-Copenhagen era", "low-carbon city", "low-carbon economy", "low-carbon life", "Low-carbon transportation", "low-carbon society", "low-carbon community" and so on quickly "leaps and bounds", Dongtai a new round of strategy clear "green manufacturing", "low-carbon society", "low-carbon society", "low-carbon community", etc. Dongtai's new round of strategy is clear that the industrial approach of "green manufacturing, green energy, green food, green tourism" and the endeavor to build the "Oriental Wendi, ecological homeland" are "national strategies" that are actively responding to and leveraging on the "national strategy". ", we have seen Dongtai strategy philosophical level of practical significance, that is, first, in the extension, it reflects the most cutting-edge national and urban development dynamics, leaders rely on the cutting-edge position command; second, in the connotation, in line with the basic attributes of the new things, that is, the development of the development of and forward-looking. Dongtai recognizes that the two must be mutually reinforcing and indispensable, with the former orienting the direction and the latter clarifying the vitality and creativity. In today's view this is exactly Dongtai to promote scientific development, enhance the city's taste, advocate industrial ecological civilization, planning ecological city construction, clear Dongtai economic development goals and directions.

In the construction of the city, Dongtai focuses on wind power, solar energy, photovoltaic new energy and other low-carbon industrial development, there have been 134 sets of wind turbines grid-connected power generation is called Asia's overall largest Guohua wind farm, and there is an investment of 13 billion yuan, 500,000 kilowatts of the offshore wind power project of the new plan; settled in Dongtai's largest solar photovoltaic power station in the coastal areas of Huadian Suntech Dongtai 50 megawatts of voltaic power station has begun construction; Taisheng wind power station has started construction; Taisheng wind power station has started construction. Has begun construction; Taisheng wind power wind turbine towers, including five new energy equipment enterprises to reach production and start construction; U.S. GLG Group's Runner stevia production project; Haitian aquatic products as the leading spirulina, Chai vegetables to stay in the green food industrial park; the world's top 500 companies in the COFCO Group's one million head of hogs industrialization project, the three more than 100,000 head of breeding plots are in full swing construction.

Ecological Citizen Square was opened, Binhe Road, North Road has become the new cityscape, the city's new 56 greening projects, Tongyu River Scenic Belt Phase II, the station road green belt, the comprehensive transformation of the East Park, the new sewage pipeline network and the centralized treatment of sewage in most of the areas south of the HeYi Bridge and the implementation of the "clean water, clean garden, clean home" and village clean water sources, clean fields, clean homes" and village greening projects, the city's forest coverage rate of 20.4%, the synergistic development of Dongtai's primary, secondary and tertiary industries has achieved results, the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries in the city's GDP reached 83.3%. Dong Yong and the seven fairies cultural park hot opening and organic series of Xixi Tangta Temple, Anfeng national historical and cultural towns, can be said to realize the "connection to the big Shanghai" strategy of cultural construction of the "landing".

Dongtai has 85 kilometers of coastline, 2,697 square kilometers of sea area, 1,560,000 acres of continuous land of the mudflats, the only piece of wetland on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean recognized by the United Nations as uncontaminated. All these are Dongtai's "hard power" to develop a low carbon city. Dongtai is expected to realize a GDP of 31.3 billion yuan in 2009, and has gathered a number of central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and Fortune 500 companies. Under the double test of global warming and post-crisis era, based on the comparative advantages of developing Dongtai as a low-carbon city, Dongtai will integrate low-carbon concepts into economic development, urban construction and people's lives, and accelerate the pace of economic transformation and industrial upgrading, which is fundamentally a means to fulfill the scientific outlook on development, to change the mode of economic development, and to promote the development of a "resource-saving city". The exploration and practice of building a "resource-saving and environment-friendly" society.

The author suggests that the construction of Dongtai's "low-carbon city" can be considered from the following aspects:

One, in the city's new planning, can be associated with famous colleges and universities, including Tsinghua Gong*** Management School, to develop a low-carbon plan for urban development, following the systematic low-carbon concept, the city in space and the larger region for balance, the city's spatial and environmental protection, the city of the "low-carbon city" can be considered as the "low-carbon city". The city needs to be balanced with the wider region, and urban development needs to take into account the coordinated development of the internal economy, society, resources and the environment. While building low-carbon cities, the development needs of the countryside also need to be taken into account. It is important to harmonize both urban and rural areas, unify planning, design and construction, and achieve urban and rural*** enjoyment of resources such as water, municipal services, education, and healthcare, to ensure that the region's overall low-carbon footprint does not exceed its carrying capacity. Enhance the identity and sense of belonging to the city among residents in new buildings and new towns. The development of the city's economy should rely on the synergistic development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, with the three industries*** developing in the same way, in an orderly and coordinated manner to form a sustainable driving force for the city's development.

Two, change the mode of agricultural growth, the development of recycling agriculture, low-carbon agriculture, the implementation of the depth of processing of agricultural products, agricultural products after processing by-products and organic waste into profit, waste into treasure, a series of development, create a microbial industry as the center of a new type of industrialized agriculture, biogas conditions of farmers can be used in place of pesticide biogas, biogas instead of fertilizers, the production of high-quality, organic Agricultural products.

Three, the new industrial enterprises should continue to build a "green high ground", to guide the city's industrial enterprises to actively develop and produce low-carbon products, products in manufacturing, construction, installation and its use of the entire life cycle, should minimize the use of fossil fuels, reduce the emission of pollutants, care for the working environment, care for consumers, use of environmentally friendly materials, and the use of the environmentally friendly materials.

For the entire life cycle of the product manufacturing, construction, installation and its use should minimize the use of fossil energy, reduce the emission of pollutants, care for the working environment of the workers, care for consumers, the use of environmentally friendly materials, improve the production efficiency, and ultimately reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Fourth, to guide the operators of industrial enterprises must realize that in front of today's energy constraints and environmental protection, the enterprise strategy must cover the green strategy, low carbon strategy and ecological strategy, low-carbon economic competition is the future product competition, brand competition, cost competition, the ultimate destination, the future of enterprise competition is inevitably low-carbon, green, ecological competition, who has a low-carbon advantage, who occupies the decisive victory in the Whoever has the low-carbon advantage will occupy the high ground in the future. If the enterprise can not do low carbon and green words, the future, not to mention participation in the competition, even access is a problem. Dongtai can try to develop a "low carbon industrial park", form a low carbon industrial park assessment system, identify the application of low carbon facilities and low carbon technology, the concentration of low carbon industries, the implementation of low carbon industry management, as well as the promotion of low carbon products and the implementation of low carbon life, to cultivate the demonstration effect of the "low carbon industrial park", so as to cultivate the "low carbon industrial park".

Fifth, the formation of government-led, social and corporate implementation, the entire population *** with the participation of low-carbon development pattern, the city's key sources of pollution and high-energy, high-polluting enterprises, the development of phased citywide emissions reduction targets, and such targets are broken down, regular supervision.

Sixth, can actively use the media public opinion, expert lectures and other forms of popularization of low-carbon awareness of all citizens, to enhance their sense of responsibility and sense of urgency in the implementation of the "low-carbon city", the preparation of the "low-carbon city organs (family) behavior manual", and actively guide the city's organs, enterprises and institutions, as well as citizens to form the formation of energy conservation and environmental protection, reduce pollution, conscious behavior.

Conclusion

Conclusion: "Spring March, mountains and forests are not axed, in order to become the growth of grass and trees. Summer March, Chuanze not netting, in order to become a long fish and turtle growth. The philosophical thinking of the ancients, 'the unity of heaven and man', has in fact long told mankind of the care and attitude towards natural ecological relationships. The spontaneous ecological civilization nurtured the natural economy, which was an agricultural economy, where human beings demanded resources from nature for direct consumption to satisfy the development of nature; the industrial civilization form fostered the industrial economy. In the stage of industrial economy, human beings ask for more raw resources from nature, and at the same time add a link that is processed and transformed into consumer products according to human needs to satisfy their material and spiritual needs. Industrial products are used and then thrown back into nature, increasing waste and pollutants; a conscious ecological civilization fosters a circular economy. In the era of circular economy, human beings realize that resources are limited, and their attitude towards nature is one of harmony with nature, a closed mode of material flow from consumer products to renewable resources. "Low-carbon city" is the inevitable path of human beings and industry towards civilization, and will be a strategic choice for Dongtai to achieve sustainable and healthy development.
