The energy conservation and environmental protection industry is a typical green industry, covering energy conservation, energy efficiency improvement, pollution prevention, ecological protection and restoration, and resource recycling. Strengthening and improving the energy conservation and environmental protection industry is not only an important measure for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, but also an inevitable choice for implementing new development concepts and promoting high-quality economic development. At present, although China's energy-saving and environmental protection industry has entered a fast lane and achieved a series of achievements, it still has a large gap compared with the new era's ecological civilization construction goals and economic high-quality development requirements, facing low industrial concentration and heavy pollution control tasks. A series of prominent problems such as insufficient innovation in business models, shortage of funds, and weak innovation in science and technology. We should face up to the gap and focus on solving the outstanding problems in the development of energy conservation and environmental protection industries, and promote the high-quality development of China's economy.

Vigorously promote professional integration. At present, China's energy-saving and environmental protection industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with low industrial concentration and obvious characteristics of small, scattered and weak. It is urgent to cultivate large-scale leading enterprises and improve the concentration of energy-saving and environmental protection industries in China. From the historical experience of the development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries in developed countries, it is necessary to vigorously promote professional integration in cultivating large-scale leading enterprises and enhancing industrial concentration. It mainly relies on market forces to support advantageous enterprises to carry out mergers and acquisitions, to become bigger and stronger, to achieve optimal resource allocation and reshape the industrial structure. It is necessary to give full play to the tie-making action of large enterprises, improve the ability of large enterprises to promote resource integration, and expand the scale of the industry, thereby enhancing the promotion of high-quality development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries. Actively promote the integration of energy-saving and environmental protection industries with next-generation information technologies such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence, explore the implementation of smart energy management, intelligent environmental monitoring, and promote the development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries towards intensification, standardization, and intelligence. .

Strengthen source reduction and full process control. Pollution prevention is one of the important purposes of developing energy conservation and environmental protection industries. At present, China's energy-saving and environmental protection industry plays a relatively limited role in pollution prevention and control, and there is a widespread phenomenon of heavy end treatment and light source control. To solve this problem fundamentally, on the one hand, we must do a top-level design and overall planning, strengthen the cooperation between the end-of-pipe measures and the source reduction measures, and rationally formulate comprehensive solutions; on the other hand, we must increase the core technology innovation of related enterprises. Through the technological innovation to achieve the full process control of source reduction and pollutant discharge.

Actively promote third-party governance of environmental pollution. Third-party governance means that the polluter pays the fee by paying or contracting, and entrusts the environmental service company to conduct pollution control. The implementation of third-party environmental pollution control is an important measure to adapt to the profound changes in China's environmental protection situation and the profound changes in environmental services and regulatory systems. We should adhere to the market-oriented operation, respect the status of the main body of the enterprise, create a good market environment, actively cultivate a sustainable business model, and avoid the "Langlang match" that violates the will of the company. Drawing on the mature experience of the contract energy management model, the contract energy management mechanism will be introduced into the environmental pollution control industry to promote the healthy development of environmental pollution third party governance.

Develop and grow green finance. The energy conservation and environmental protection industry is a heavy asset industry with characteristics of large investment, long payback period, low profitability and significant public welfare characteristics. China's energy-saving and environmental protection enterprises generally have prominent problems such as financing difficulties and financing, which seriously restrict the development of the industry. To strengthen and improve the energy conservation and environmental protection industry, it is necessary to develop green finance, build a green credit policy system, and form a loan incentive mechanism and constraint mechanism that is conducive to the development of energy conservation and environmental protection industries. Explore and develop green bond index, green stock index and related financial derivatives, encourage qualified energy-saving and environmental protection companies to issue green bonds; make full use of capital market, set up energy-saving and environmental protection industry and green development fund, encourage and support social capital to participate in energy-saving and environmental protection industry development .

Coordinate the promotion of major technology research and development and transformation of results. The lack of scientific and technological innovation, low level, lack of originality, and low level of achievement transformation are important factors that restrict China's energy conservation and environmental protection industry from becoming stronger and bigger. We should improve the incentive mechanism and policies for science and technology innovation, give full play to the leading role of national special funds, do a good job in the overall planning of science and technology innovation in energy conservation and environmental protection industries, vigorously promote the application of basic research and key core technology innovations, and strive to lead the industry to accelerate development with breakthroughs in core technologies. Relying on large-scale leading enterprises to strengthen the construction of innovation platform, support leading enterprises to take the lead in undertaking energy conservation and environmental protection national science and technology plan projects, and promote enterprise construction of national and provincial energy conservation and environmental protection engineering (technology) research centers, key laboratories and enterprise technology innovation centers. Build a group of energy-saving and environmental protection technology innovation alliances and information exchange platforms led by enterprises, universities and research institutes, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
