The concentration of PM2.5 in the Yangtze River Delta reached the standard in general, and it was controlled within 32 μ g/m3 in Beijing.

  Second, optimize the industrial structure and promote the green upgrading of industrial products

  (four) resolutely curb high energy consumption, high emissions, low-level projects blindly launched. The new reconstruction and expansion project strictly implements the national industrial planning, industrial policy, ecological environment zoning control scheme, planning EIA, project EIA, energy saving review, capacity replacement, total amount control of key pollutants, regional reduction of pollutant discharge, carbon emission peak target and other related requirements, and adopts clean transportation in principle. Projects involving capacity replacement can only be put into production after the replaced capacity and its supporting facilities are shut down.

  It is strictly forbidden to increase steel production capacity. Promote the integrated layout of steel, coking and sintering, greatly reduce independent coking, sintering, pelletizing and hot rolling enterprises and processes, and eliminate backward coal washing capacity; Orderly guiding blast furnace — Converter long-flow steelmaking is transformed into electric furnace short-flow steelmaking. By 2025, the output of short-process steelmaking will account for 15%. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas continue to implement "coke determination with steel", and the ratio of coking capacity to long-process steelmaking capacity is controlled at around 0.4.

  (5) Accelerate the withdrawal of backward production capacity in key industries. Revise the Guiding Catalogue of Industrial Structure Adjustment, and study the inclusion of technologies and equipment with pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions significantly higher than the industry average and low energy efficiency and cleaner production level in the list of elimination and restriction. Key areas will further improve the requirements of backward production capacity, energy consumption, environmental protection, quality, safety and technology, and gradually withdraw from restricted gas-related industries; Step-by-step sintering machines and pellet shaft furnaces as well as semi-closed silicon-manganese alloy, ferronickel, high-carbon ferrochrome and high-carbon ferromanganese electric furnaces will be phased out. Guide the orderly adjustment and optimization of industries such as steel, coking and electrolytic aluminum in key areas.

  (6) Comprehensively upgrade and transform traditional industrial clusters. Cities where small and medium-sized traditional manufacturing enterprises are concentrated should formulate development plans for gas-related industrial clusters, strictly examine and approve projects, and prevent pollution from going to the countryside. Formulate special rectification plans for existing industrial clusters, eliminate and shut down a batch according to law, move a batch into the park, transform a batch on the spot, and make a batch better and stronger. All localities should combine the characteristics of industrial clusters and build centralized heating centers, centralized spraying centers, centralized recovery and disposal centers of organic solvents and centralized regeneration centers of activated carbon according to local conditions.

  (7) Optimize the raw and auxiliary materials and product structure containing VOCs. Strictly control the production and use of high VOCs content coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning agents and other construction projects, and increase the proportion of low (no) VOCs content products.

  Third, optimize the energy structure and accelerate the clean, low-carbon and efficient development of energy.

  (9) Vigorously develop new energy and clean energy. By 2025, non-fossil energy consumption will account for about 20%, and electric energy will account for about 30% of terminal energy consumption. Continue to increase the production and supply of natural gas, and add natural gas to give priority to ensuring residents’ living and clean heating needs.

  (10) Strictly and reasonably control the total coal consumption. On the premise of ensuring the safe supply of energy, we will continue to control the total coal consumption in key areas. By 2025, the coal consumption of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, its surrounding areas and the Yangtze River Delta will decrease by about 10% and 5% respectively compared with 2020, and the coal consumption in Fenwei Plain will achieve negative growth, with emphasis on reducing non-electric coal. Newly renovated and expanded coal projects in key areas will be replaced by equal or reduced coal according to law, and those with imperfect alternatives will not be approved; The use of highly polluting fuels such as petroleum coke, coke and charcoal shall not be used as alternative measures for coal reduction. We will improve the alternative management measures for coal consumption reduction in key areas, and coal gangue and raw material coal will not be included in the assessment of total coal consumption. In principle, no new self-owned coal-fired units will be added, and self-owned coal-fired units will be supported to implement clean energy substitution. Coal-fired power projects and their coal consumption that support stable power supply, safe operation of power grid and large-scale consumption of clean energy should be reasonably guaranteed.
