Lin Wenxiong, deputy to the National People's Congress: Let biomass power generation empower economic and social development
On March 5, Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, stated in his government work report at the Fifth Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress that carbon neutralization should be promoted in an orderly manner, and the formation of green production and lifestyle should be accelerated. Focusing on the theme of green production and life, it aims at the urgent problems that biomass power generation enterprises need to solve due to the subsidy policy. Lin Wenxiong, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of the labor union of Chongzuo East Asia Sugar Industry Co., Ltd., put forward the "Suggestions on Timely Allocating Subsidy Funds for Biomass Power Generation and Extending the Subsidy Period" during the National Two Sessions this year.
Guangxi is the largest sugar producing area in the country. Sugar companies (groups) cover nearly 50 counties (cities and districts) in the whole region. Planting sugar cane is the main source of income for local farmers. If the disposal is not timely and the utilization rate is not high, it will lead to environmental pollution.
"If biomass waste is not used effectively, in the case of natural decomposition, the released methane and other gases will easily lead to the deterioration of atmospheric environmental quality." As the only representative of workers in the sugar industry in Guangxi, Lin Wenxiong said in an interview with reporters, The biomass power generation project belongs to the national encouraged project, and it is also one of the successful directions for the extension of the sugar industry chain. Under the background of comprehensively promoting the rural revitalization strategy, biomass power generation can convert straw resources such as cane leaves into energy, making agriculture the first benchmark industry, which not only extends the agricultural industry chain, but also brings agricultural and forestry waste resources into to the ranks of renewable energy. At the same time as the development of biomass power generation, it can effectively solve the problem of harmless and reduced amount of various organic wastes in urban and rural areas in my country, and promote the overall optimization of the rural energy structure.
To this end, Lin Wenxiong suggested that the central government and local governments should attach great importance to it, and give overall consideration to the cashing of subsidy funds and the extension of the subsidy period, especially in view of the current difficulties of most biomass power generation enterprises. Allocate subsidized funds to support enterprises to tide over the difficulties and play their established role in promoting comprehensive rural revitalization and supporting the achievement of the "dual carbon" goal.
In addition, Lin Wenxiong also proposed that the current global energy supply and demand system is undergoing a low-carbon transformation, and the deployment of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality will accelerate the adjustment of resource structure, and the development prospects of the biomass energy industry are very broad. He suggested that in combination with the national energy development strategy, comprehensively demonstrate the appropriate extension of the subsidy period for biomass power generation enterprises after the 15-year subsidy period expires, and continue to give incentives and support to enterprises that respond to the state's call to actively participate in the construction of biomass power generation projects. If the policy of extending the subsidy period cannot be implemented, it is recommended that the pricing department retain the original electricity price of biomass power generation, and the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) will support the biomass power generation project and the construction unit to achieve a soft landing by diverting the contradiction of electricity price.
