On August 10 this year, 9 ministries and commissions including Ministry of Ecology and Environment, National Development and Reform Commission, , Central Bank, and jointly issued the "Notice on Announcement of the List of Climate Investment and Financing Pilots", and 23 places including Beijing Miyun District, ranked among them, becoming the first batch of national climate investment and financing pilots.
Miyun Why did it stand out in the country and successfully obtain the national climate investment and financing pilot qualification? How to achieve pilot construction? What should I do next? Lan Tian, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Ecological Environment Bureau of Miyun District, Beijing, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing News Shell Finance, introduced the Miyun District pilot construction plan, and will arrange 22 project tasks from four aspects to promote the realization of the goals.
Lantian revealed that Miyun District will take the pilot as an opportunity to explore the construction of a climate investment and financing model of "live water, forests, promote production, and reduce carbon", establish a complete climate investment and financing service system, improve relevant infrastructure construction, and achieve coordinated development of water conservation and people, reducing pollution and carbon reduction.

Talking about the reasons for being selected: " Beijing Mark Key " Ecological advantages are obvious
Beijing News Beike Finance: What regional advantages and resource endowments do mdbc have in Miyun District that can stand out in the fiercely competitive pilot review?
Lantian: Miyun has been a strategic location since ancient times and is known as the "Key of the Capital". It is famous for Miyun Reservoir , with outstanding resource endowment. It can be summarized as "good ecology, low carbon emissions, high carbon sinks, complete green energy, active finance, and new technology."
Miyun District has a good ecological foundation. It is the first batch of water ecological civilization cities in the country, a national ecological civilization construction demonstration zone, and a practice innovation base for " green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains "; carbon dioxide emissions are low. We started dual carbon research work earlier in the city and took the lead in establishing a district-level carbon neutrality research and development center. The total carbon dioxide emissions account for about 1/60 of the city; there are many carbon sink reserves, and Miyun District has the highest forest resource storage in the city, the largest wetland area in the city, and the carbon sink reserves account for about 1/6 of the city; the green energy foundation is relatively comprehensive, and hydropower, photovoltaic power stations, and biomass power generation have been put into use one after another.
In addition, Miyun District has a solid financial foundation. Miyun District has compiled the green finance development plan for the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and has taken the lead in issuing implementation opinions on accelerating the development of green finance. Miyun Green Finance Comprehensive Service Platform is launched online. Miyun's first green finance specialty agency was established and launched special credit products "Bee Loan", "Forest Insurance", etc.
The pilot construction of climate investment and financing is also inseparable from the empowerment of science and technology. Located in the east district of Miyun, it mainly focuses on the climate field. The 1+5" large scientific installation gathers top domestic scientific research institutes and universities. It has a series of major scientific and technological innovation research results. It will promote scientific and technological innovation and the construction of a green industrial system to help pilot construction.
talk about pilot construction: The next work goal is to achieve coordinated development of water retention and carbon reduction through climate investment and financing pilot
Beijing News Shell Finance: After the pilot list is announced, the Miyun District Ecological Environment Bureau introduced the next work goal: to achieve coordinated development of water retention and carbon reduction through climate investment and financing pilot, and achieve a cumulative reduction of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of regional GDP by 2025. 1 The forest coverage rate of has reached 70%, achieving an average annual growth of more than 20% in climate investment and financing credit balance, with a total of 5 billion yuan in capital. How should Miyun District achieve its work goals and promote pilot construction?
Lantian: We plan to arrange 22 project tasks from four aspects to promote the realization of the goals. It can be summarized as "ten ones".
Strengthen organizational leadership, deepen "one mechanism", and make good use of the working group mechanism of the District Committee Ecological Civilization Committee Comprehensive Control of Air Pollution and Response to Climate Change.
is aimed at enterprises, and we mainly carry out five aspects of work, which can be summarized as "establishing a library, an account, a series of products, a package of policies and a forum."
Specifically, we must establish "a timely and dynamically updated climate-friendly project library", formulate evaluation, management and evaluation standards for inbound storage, cultivate some leading projects, promote as typical cases, and attract more climate-friendly enterprises to join. We must do a detailed "one account", establish a carbon emission account library for key enterprises, and find out the carbon emissions of enterprises. These companies and carbon-related evaluation factors can provide a basis for project storage standards and small and micro enterprises, "microcarbon loans" and other products. Focusing on the project library, we must launch "a series of financial products to support the implementation of climate-friendly industries and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements", such as developing carbon-neutral bonds, climate insurance and other products to support and encourage low-carbon development and innovation of climate-friendly industries and technologies. We must also introduce "a package to attract the implementation of climate-friendly industries and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Investment policy. For example, explore some encouragement policies in taxation, interest subsidies, talent settlement, etc., and create a good policy environment. At the same time, we will hold a "one forum" to open a window for the release of climate investment and financing financial product information for enterprises, help enterprises connect with financial products that meet their own needs, exchange and training, etc., improve the overall capacity of climate investment and financing, and enable various factors such as funds, talents, and technology to fully gather in the Miyun climate investment and financing field, and help the construction of climate investment and financing pilot projects.
mainly carries out two aspects of work for the public, establishing "one carbon inclusive platform" and developing "a series of financial tools for the public". The public is also one of the key entities in the construction of climate investment and financing pilot projects. Only when the government, enterprises and the public participate together can it be completed The overall environment. We will activate the public's enthusiasm for carbon reduction through the establishment of a carbon-inclusive platform through points redemption, consumption offset, etc. In addition, for bee breeding, agricultural planting and other groups affected by climate uncertainties, we will innovate and launch financial products such as forest insurance, agricultural insurance, and "bee loan" to help the public effectively respond and avoid the impact of climate change.
In addition, the power of scientific and technological innovation is also important. We must establish "a monitoring network that dynamically evaluates the dual carbon process of Miyun" and "cooperate with a group of professional research institutions." On August 30, 2020, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the completion of Miyun Reservoir, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to the villagers who built and protected Miyun Reservoir, full of cordial care for the people of Miyun, and also for Miyun Water and Ecological Engineering Make important instructions. On August 30 this year, on the second anniversary of the General Secretary’s reply, Miyun and Tsinghua University established the Miyun Reservoir Ecological Civilization Construction Research Center, which also marks a good start for such cooperation. I hope to work with more institutions to support the Miyun climate investment and financing construction, and take a pilot path with Miyun characteristics.
talk about " Miyun model " : innovate carbon loan products and promote local energy decarbonization
Beijing News Shell Finance: Currently, Miyun has developed and applied "bee loan". What financial products will appear in the future, as well as service entities such as "climate branch"? In the long run, how to deepen the carbon finance system?
Lantian: As the construction of climate investment and financing pilot projects in Miyun District continues to deepen, we will further promote financial institutions to actively innovate and continuously enrich the methods and methods of financial support for climate investment and financing pilot projects. First, promote innovative climate financial products, including launching climate insurance products, issuing carbon neutral bonds and other climate bonds, establishing climate funds, and developing climate credit products. Second, promote the construction of financial infrastructure focusing on the climate field, including actively guiding financial institutions to establish "climate branches" and creating "carbon neutral" business outlets, etc., to improve the business capabilities and level of financial institutions' service pilot services.
In the long run, Miyun District will deepen the carbon financial system from three aspects. First, consolidate the theoretical foundation and actively participate in the methodological development of carbon financial products; second, improve the system and promote the establishment of a carbon sink resource rights confirmation system.In conjunction with forestry and other departments, we will explore and introduce a system and mechanism for the management of carbon sink resource, clarify the division of carbon sink ownership, and establish a mechanism for declaration, verification, and tracking and evaluation of carbon sink products; the third is to promote industrial and financial docking. Establish a risk mitigation mechanism, guide financial institutions to innovate carbon loan products and develop carbon insurance products through the collateralization method of carbon sink product.
Beijing News Shell Finance: Miyun proposed to "open up the transformation path of new carbon neutrality technologies such as zero carbon sequestration". What is the current level of technological development? What support do you think is needed to implement the transformation path of the new technology " industry, education, research, and research "?
Lantian: At present, some new technologies have been widely used in our low-carbon pilot projects. For example, the first fully passive ultra-low energy consumption community project in Beijing created by Shoukai Group . After the ultra-low energy consumption building is completed, it can significantly reduce heating and air conditioning energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We will also pilot the application of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and other technical means in waste incineration treatment centers and centralized heating units.
In addition, Miyun District has established the Miyun Reservoir Ecological Civilization Construction Research Center based on Tsinghua University. This center will focus on three aspects: water ecology, water economy, and water mechanism, and provide strong support for the high-quality protection of Miyun Reservoir and the high-quality economic development of under the background of carbon neutrality.
We hope to obtain special loan support for National Development Bank Science and Technology Innovation and Basic Research. Actively introduce securities companies and private equity fund managers to participate in the establishment of pilot incubation funds and increase financial capital investment in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Financial enterprises and leading enterprises are encouraged to explore ways to increase investment in basic research through donations, establish funds, and carry out joint funding, and establish cooperation mechanisms such as long-term investment in basic research and sharing of interests with scientific research institutes and scientific and technological talents.
Beijing News Beike Finance: What measures will Miyun take to reduce regional energy use?
Lantian: First, promote the electrification of energy-using terminals. In terms of energy use, we will vigorously promote the " coal-to-electricity " in rural areas, and strive to achieve the goal of "coal-free zone" next year. 97,000 households in 265 villages have been converted into clean energy, and coal-free areas have been basically achieved.
In terms of low-carbon transportation, it vigorously promotes the "oil battery replacement" work for motor vehicles. 613 buses in the district are the first to achieve pure electric replacement, and all 100 taxis are pure electric vehicles. At the same time, we will strengthen the infrastructure layout of charging piles and plan to build a new energy vehicle charging facility operation and management service platform.
In terms of low-carbon buildings, the city's first passive low-carbon community was put into use this year. The community sales office renovation project has been applied for a low-carbon technology pilot in the city and will be transformed into a carbon-neutral demonstration building before the end of the year. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, the proportion of green buildings will further increase.
The second is to promote the decarbonization of local energy. Miyun green energy has a relatively comprehensive range of types, and has been continuously transmitting green and clean energy in photovoltaic power generation, hydropower, waste incineration power generation, biogas power generation, etc. Recently, the Beijing Energy 100 MW photovoltaic power generation project (Phase I) has completed the project establishment of the NDRC; the 50 MW photovoltaic power generation project of the State Power Investment Corporation is undergoing preliminary procedures, which will significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the region in the future and reduce the total carbon emissions in the region.
