Anhui Provincial Economic Research Institute has developed a set of policy recommendations for the low-carbon transformation of Anhui's coal-fired power industry.
Currently, the coal power industry in Anhui supplies over 80% of the province's electricity, and accounts for more than 50% of its carbon emissions. The industry is facing several challenges, including its strong dependence on coal for stable power supply, the urgent need for low-carbon transformation, and the inadequate maturity of key technologies. In this regard, the Anhui Provincial Economic Research Institute (APERI) has proposed a series of measures to support the transformation of Anhui's coal power industry. These measures include strengthening policy support, promoting low-carbon co-firing, facilitating the research and development of new technologies, and developing transformation finance.
Kick-off on the Anhui Working Group on Scientific Decision-making and Practice for Green and Low-carbon Development and Seminar on the Transformation of Anhui Coal and Power Industry
The Anhui Working Group on Scientific Decision-Making and Practice for Green and Low-Carbon Development was launched on December 3, 2024. The Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission and iGDP, under the leadership of the Anhui Development and Reform Bureau, has joined hands with the Anhui Economic Research Institute to establish the Anhui Working Group on Scientific Decision-Making and Practice for Green and Low-Carbon Development. This working group brings together a group of local, national and international experts with rich practical experience in green and low-carbon development in Anhui. Their research areas include energy transition, power grid systems, transportation, buildings, environment, finance, and other fields. In the future, the working group will focus on Anhui's "dual carbon" work, and conduct in-depth discussions, field research, and thematic studies on related issues. The goal is to produce articles, reports, and policy recommendations with guiding significance, contributing wisdom and strength to the promotion of green and low-carbon development in Anhui.
Workshop on Accelerating Large-Scale Equipment Replacement and Unleashing the Potential of New Quality Productive Forces
On July 3, 2024, iGDP, in collaboration with the Anhui Institute of Economic Research, organized the “Workshop on Accelerating Large-Scale Equipment Replacement: Unleashing the Potential of New Quality Productive Forces”. The event was designed to systematically advance the renewal of large-scale equipment and to bolster the transformation and upgrading of Anhui's manufacturing sector. Prominent experts in energy transition, industrial advancement, and finance joined over 40 specialists from Anhui, Guangdong, and Shanxi, who are actively engaged in this field, for an in-depth dialogue. The discussions focused on policy development, practical implementation, opportunities, and challenges associated with large-scale equipment replacement and consumer goods trade-in, as well as innovative financial support mechanisms.
Practical Research in Maanshan, Huainan, and Chuzhou in Anhui Province
From October 10-12, 2023, the iGDP research team visited Ma'anshan City, Huainan City, and Chuzhou City to conduct comprehensive research. The focus was on evaluating climate change policy implementation, developing GHG inventories, and assessing the current energy structure. The team also examined future energy supply plans, and the energy efficiency levels in key sectors—industry, transportation, and buildings—as well as the cities' plans for energy-saving retrofits.
