- Six departments issued documents to promote the clean and efficient use of coal
On September 29, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Transport, and the National Energy Administration issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Clean and Efficient Utilization of Coal". It is clearly stated that by 2030, the green and intelligent development capacity of coal will be significantly enhanced, the energy intensity of production will be gradually reduced, the storage and transportation structure will continue to be optimized, the quality of commercial coal will be steadily improved, the efficiency and cleanliness of coal in key areas will be comprehensively improved, and the clean and efficient utilization system of coal that is compatible with ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development will be basically completed. The relevant opinions also make specific arrangements for building a green and collaborative development system, building a safe and environmentally friendly production system, building a clean and perfect storage and transportation system, and building a diversified and efficient use system.
- The "Guiding Catalogue for Carbon Emission Measurement Capacity Building" was officially announced
On September 26, the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the General Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Guiding Catalogue for Carbon Emission Measurement Capacity Building (2024 Edition)", which provides reference for the carbon emission measurement capacity building of measurement technology institutions, key emitting enterprises and owners of voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects. The relevant notice requires all departments to accelerate the construction of carbon emission measurement capacity, consolidate the carbon emission measurement foundation of measurement technology institutions and key emitting units, continuously improve the ability and level of measurement service guarantee, and support the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality as scheduled.
- The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a guide to the construction of a standard system for the photovoltaic industry
On September 25, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guidelines for the Construction of Photovoltaic Industry Standard System (2024 Edition)", which pointed out that by 2026, the linkage level of standards and industrial scientific and technological innovation will continue to improve, and more than 60 national standards and industry standards will be newly formulated to achieve full coverage of general standards and key standards for the basic foundation of the photovoltaic industry; Encourage social organizations to develop advanced group standards, support mainland enterprises and institutions to participate in the formulation of more than 20 international standards, and promote the global development of the photovoltaic industry.
- Tianjin's carbon emission allowance allocation plan was released
On September 24, the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment issued the "Tianjin 2024 Carbon Emission Quota Allocation Plan", proposing that industries such as steel, chemicals, petrochemicals, oil and gas exploitation, and mining should be included in the allocation of quotas by the historical emission method. According to the calculation formula published in the plan, the quota for the included enterprises is calculated by multiplying the carbon emissions in 2023 by the emission control coefficient. The emission control coefficient of the steel, chemical, petrochemical, nonferrous metal, and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries was 0.96, and that of other industries was 0.98.
- Guangdong Province has issued new energy storage power station management measures
On September 24, the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the "Administrative Measures for the Construction and Operation of New Energy Storage Power Stations in Guangdong Province (Draft for Comments)", which proposes to encourage the expansion of new energy storage power station application scenarios, and promote the integrated application of new energy storage power stations in the fields of source-grid-load-storage integration, virtual power plants, microgrids, "multi-station integration", and new infrastructure in accordance with the principles of adapting measures to local conditions and being flexible and diverse.
- The United States Department of Energy plans to allocate $3 billion to support local battery manufacturing projects
According to a report released by Caixin on September 23, the United States Department of Energy plans to invest $3 billion to support local battery processing and recycling companies and increase battery raw material manufacturing projects to get rid of dependence on China's industrial chain. According to the report, the selection of projects is handled by the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Office (MESC) of the United States Department of Energy, and the currently selected support projects include 25 battery manufacturing projects by United States Albemarle, Korea's SK On and other companies, and the relevant funds will be used to renovate, expand and build new factory facilities, as well as process battery-grade critical minerals, battery components, battery manufacturing and recycling.
