Recently, in order to further leverage the ecological advantages of Hainan Province, carry out comprehensive experiments on the reform of the ecological civilization system, and build a national ecological civilization pilot zone, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for the National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone (Hainan)" (hereinafter referred to as "Plan"), it is proposed to build Hainan into a demonstration area for the priority development of clean energy and build a Hainan clean energy island. With the goal of leading the world in ecological environment quality and resource utilization efficiency, Hainan's ecological civilization construction will be gradually upgraded. By 2020, Hainan's energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by 10% compared with 2015, and the carbon dioxide emissions per unit of regional GDP will be reduced by 10%. In 2015, it dropped by 12%, and the proportion of clean energy installed capacity increased to more than 50%.

The "Plan" regards the clean energy priority development demonstration zone as one of the strategic positionings for the construction of the Hainan Ecological Civilization Experimental Zone, proposes to build a clean energy island, and accelerate the construction of a safe, green, intensive, and efficient clean energy supply system. Vigorously promote "cutting coal and reducing oil" and gradually accelerate the replacement of coal-fired units with clean energy. By 2020, enterprise-owned coal-fired units that cannot meet ultra-low emission requirements will be phased out, and 35 steam tons/hour will be completely eliminated within the built-up areas of cities and counties. and below coal-fired small boilers.

In the field of new energy vehicles, the "Plan" proposes to prepare and issue a development plan for clean energy vehicles in Hainan Province, accelerate the construction of infrastructure such as charging piles, accelerate the promotion of new energy vehicles and energy-saving and environmentally friendly vehicles, and gradually ban the sale of fuel vehicles in Hainan Island.

Regarding the field of gas and power, the "Plan" clarifies that it is necessary to increase the development and utilization of natural gas resources, accelerate the advancement of Dongfang Gas Field, Lingshui Gas Field, and Wenchang to Sanya Natural Gas Eastern Pipeline Project, and orderly advance Qinglan, Yangpu, Wanning, Qionghai gas and power project planning and construction, comprehensive implementation of urban gas projects, and comprehensive promotion of rural gas use on the premise of ensuring gas sources. Accelerate the second phase of Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant, develop photovoltaic, wind power and other new energy sources in an orderly manner, and promote ocean energy power generation demonstrations. Promote clean and low-carbon energy to be prioritized on the Internet and expand clean energy consumption channels. Combined with smart grid upgrades, modern rural power grid construction, microgrid demonstration construction, energy storage cooling and other new energy storage technologies, the large-scale application of renewable energy can be achieved.

In order to establish and improve the mechanism for consolidating and improving the quality of the ecological environment and continue to maintain excellent air quality, the "Plan" requires vigorously promoting the use of shore power by ships docking at ports, waiving demand (capacity) electricity charges, and reducing the cost of shore power use. Encourage the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered ships. Priority will be given to using clean energy when adding or replacing tugboats at coastal ports. Implement cross-provincial joint prevention and control of air pollution, and study and formulate a phased and gradual improvement plan for ambient air quality. A complete ban on new small hydropower projects will be implemented, and existing small hydropower projects will be ecologically transformed or shut down in an orderly manner. Strengthen the construction of environmental infrastructure, basically achieve a harmless treatment rate of more than 95% of domestic waste by 2020, coordinate the layout and build high-standard domestic waste incineration power generation projects, and significantly increase the proportion of incineration disposal.

In addition, in order to accelerate the green development of industries, the "Plan" emphasizes that it is necessary to support Hainan in formulating and implementing a negative list for industrial structure adjustment and backward production capacity elimination policies, comprehensively ban the development of high energy consumption, high pollution, high emission industries and low-end manufacturing, and promote the development of modern industries. There is a transformation of manufacturing industry into intelligent, green and service-oriented. Formulate and implement a "Plastic Restriction Order" to completely ban the production, sale and use of disposable non-degradable plastic bags, plastic tableware, etc. across the province by the end of 2020. Promote the use of green packaging products for express delivery, and basically achieve full coverage of green packaging applications for intra-city express delivery services in the province by 2020.

In this regard, industry experts said that Hainan, which is comprehensively deepening reform and opening up, must not only reform and innovate in economic and social development and take the lead in trials, but also set an example in the construction of ecological civilization. In the "Plan", Hainan is given the strategic positioning of an ecological civilization system reform model area, a land and sea coordinated protection and development practice area, an ecological value realization mechanism experimental area, and a clean energy priority development demonstration area, which means that various government departments are required to promote ecological civilization. Construction work has put forward higher requirements.
