China News Service, Antalya, November 10 (Reporters Wang Qingkai and Wei Yuan) On November 10, local time, Liao Jiasheng, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as CECEP), said in Antalya, Turkey that open cooperation is an important way to expand green development space.
On the same day, the China Corner of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31) held a side event with the theme of "Ecological Civilization and Beautiful China Practices". The side event was hosted by the Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization Research Center and China News Service, and co-organized by the Environmental and Economic Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and China News Network.
CECEP’s main businesses include energy conservation and clean energy supply, ecological environmental protection and resource recycling, new energy development and product equipment manufacturing, as well as new chemical materials and general health. At the side meeting, Liao Jiasheng introduced CECEP’s practical experience in participating in the construction of Beautiful China.
He said that systematic governance is the fundamental method to solve complex ecological and environmental problems. "We adopt the systematic governance method of 'source pollution control + comprehensive pollution interception + precise pollution control + ecological restoration' to promote the rapid ecological restoration of the Yangtze River-related shorelines and significantly improve the water quality. This idea is also applied to the Yellow River Basin, and we have built more than 100 green and low-carbon projects in the provinces and cities along the Yellow River."
Innovation is the key to improving the efficiency of ecological governance. Liao Jiasheng said that the more in-depth ecological and environmental governance is promoted, the more it is necessary to rely on technological innovation to solve problems. He gave an example, "Our independently developed domestic first 10,000-ton photovoltaic module reduction and recycling demonstration line has been put into operation, and the stripping rate and purity of key products have exceeded 98%."
Liao Jiasheng said that benefiting the people is the fundamental stance of ecological civilization construction. China Energy Conservation has developed a complete set of small waste incineration equipment with a daily processing capacity of 200 tons, which effectively solves the problem of waste disposal in counties; it promotes desertification prevention and control and photovoltaic integrated projects in desertification areas in Inner Mongolia, and implements photovoltaic smart agriculture comprehensive demonstration projects in Zhejiang. It achieves on-board power generation and off-board cultivation, and develops agricultural and photovoltaic complementarity according to local conditions.
At the side meeting, Liao Jiasheng also shared the results of CECEP’s cooperation in building a clean and beautiful world. For example, it implemented the largest local municipal water supply and livelihood project in Georgia, solved the drinking water problem of 11,000 rural residents in Comoros, and provided photovoltaic and lighting systems to Pakistan, Fiji and other countries.
"One cooperation project after another is sowing the seeds of green development to more corners of the world." Liao Jiasheng said that the construction of ecological civilization is a common cause of all mankind. CECEP is willing to deepen cooperation and learn from each other with partners from various countries, provide comprehensive solutions covering ecological environment management and energy conservation and carbon reduction services, jointly cultivate new momentum for green development, and share China's green development experience and opportunities with the world.
