In order to implement the "on the promotion of sewage treatment pollution reduction and carbon synergies in the implementation of the views" (Development and Reform of Environmental Resources [2023] No. 1714), it is proposed to select the construction of a number of sewage treatment green low-carbon benchmark plant, play a leading role in demonstration, promote the industry's green and low-carbon transformation, and contribute to the construction of a beautiful China. The relevant work is notified as follows.
I. Work ideas
Adopt the approach of "selecting a batch, the new reconstruction and expansion of a batch", by the end of 2025, the completion of 100 energy and resource efficient recycling of sewage treatment of green low-carbon benchmark plant, the formation of replicable and scalable experience, and promote the sewage industry to reduce pollution and carbon synergies.
Selection of a batch. Among the sewage treatment plants that have been built and are operating well, a number of representative benchmark plants will be selected through a comprehensive evaluation centered on such indicators as water quality, energy conservation, carbon reduction, resource utilization, environmental friendliness and system coordination.
Newly reconstructed and expanded. In line with the relevant indicators and experience of the selected benchmark plant, and in conjunction with the central budget investment, large-scale equipment renewal and other work, encourage support for the construction of new sewage treatment plants, reconstruction and expansion of a number of sewage treatment plants and synchronization of the improvement of the supporting pipeline network, to enhance the effectiveness of domestic sewage collection and treatment, reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, and promote the comprehensive recycling of energy and resources.
Dynamic management. The selected green low-carbon benchmarking plant to carry out a review of the new reconstruction and expansion of sewage treatment benchmarking plant project on schedule to organize acceptance. Can continue to play a leading role in demonstration, summarize and promote the experience and practice; does not meet the requirements of the benchmark, timely adjustment and withdrawal. According to the operation of the green low-carbon benchmarking plant, improve the relevant standards, and promote the sewage industry green low-carbon level of continuous improvement.
II. Organizational procedures
(i) Benchmarking plant selection
