Build an ecological foundation for high-quality development

The west mountain is connected to the South Mountain, verdant; The Hui River is next to the Qili River, and the waves are clear and rippling. In Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, the beautiful picture of "a city green and half the city river, green mountains green as brocade" is slowly spreading.

Shuozhou City deeply practices the concept of "two mountains", strengthens comprehensive environmental management, continuously improves the ecological environment, strengthens the ecological background of high-quality development, and strives to draw a beautiful new picture of Shuozhou with harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

We will enhance carbon sink capacity and comprehensively promote green and low-carbon development

Every year in the spring, Shuozhou City will hold a voluntary tree-planting activity to promote the ecological environment construction of Shuozhou City.

Focusing on the goal of "double carbon", Shuozhou City actively improves the capacity of forest carbon sink, scientifically develops the action plan of forest ecosystem carbon sink, orderly implements the land greening action, and strives to build a green ecological spatial structure. By the end of 2022, the city's forest area has reached 3,269,750 mu, the forest coverage rate has reached 20.50%, and the comprehensive vegetation coverage of grassland has reached 59.09%.

Shuozhou City strives to promote low-carbon development, orderly implementation of the Shuozhou Carbon Peak Action, preparation and completion of the Shuozhou carbon Dioxide Emissions Peak before 2030 action Plan, explore the effective way of "double control" of energy consumption to "double control" of total carbon emissions and intensity, and resolutely curb the blind development of "two high" projects. We will fully implement actions to improve energy efficiency in key industries, ensure a steady decline in overall energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP, and help accelerate the transformation of industries into high-end, intelligent, and green industries.

Relying on the photovoltaic power generation system, geothermal energy heating and cooling system, energy storage system, and smart energy management system, Shuozhou Nourishing Airport adopts renewable energy to meet the energy demand, and realizes zero-carbon electricity, zero-carbon heating, zero-carbon cooling, and zero-carbon services.

Strengthen ecological restoration and walk out of a new road of green and sustainable development in coal mining resource-based areas

In the crisp autumn, Xingyuan Village of Pinglu District, Shuozhou City enjoyed a good harvest of buckwheat. Four years ago, here was still a barren, after the reclamation of coal mines, has become a thousand acres of good land, harvest warehouse.

The following Gaoxiang according to local conditions, in accordance with the principle of "side collapse, side treatment", to carry out large-scale reclamation, control gully, cut slope, terrace, stacked ridge, planting caragana, road surface repair, building drainage... Up to now, more than 6,000 mu of coal mining subsidence area has been phased reclamation, and more than 3,000 mu of ecological restoration has been implemented annually. At the end of September 2022, the land reclamation and management project of coal mining subsidence area of Shuozhou Pinglu District Hou 'an Coal Co., Ltd. was included in 20 demonstration projects of territorial ecological restoration projects in Shanxi Province by the Shanxi Department of Natural Resources.

In recent years, Shuozhou has vigorously promoted ecological restoration and comprehensive control of soil and water loss, especially strengthening the control of coal mining deep areas, restoring ecological vegetation, reshaping landforms, reducing soil and water loss, increasing cultivated land area, rejuvenating the former coal mining subsidence areas, ushering in a new life, and stepping out of a road of green and sustainable development of coal mining resource-based areas.

The key project of ecological protection and restoration of the plateau sandstorm source in Shuozhou City, northern Shanxi Province was started. Actively promote Pingshuo open-pit coal mine and Houan coal mine ecological comprehensive treatment experience, reasonable development of mining ecological treatment; Encourage social capital to participate in ecological restoration and serve the ecological protection and high-quality development strategy of the Yellow River Basin; We will promote the establishment of demonstration zones for ecological progress in Huairen City, Shuocheng District, Shanyin County and Ying County.

Shuozhou coordinated the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, continuously improved the quality of the ecological environment, and made Shuozhou always have green mountains, green water and fresh air.

Protect the ecological environment, unswervingly take the road of ecological, green and high-quality development

On March 31, 2023, the Shuozhou Nanshan "domestic waste + kitchen waste" treatment project completed "72+24" hours of trial operation and put into power generation.

After the project was put into operation, 800 tons of domestic waste and 50 tons of kitchen waste were processed daily. It handles 290,000 tons of garbage annually and generates about 136 million KWH of electricity annually, which is of great significance for improving the ecological environment of urban areas and surrounding cities and helping green and low-carbon transformation.

Shuozhou City adheres to precise pollution control, scientific pollution control and pollution control according to law, makes every effort to protect the green water and mountains, blue sky and white clouds, good fields and fertile soil of the "green city", and unswervingly takes the road of ecological green and high-quality development.

We will adjust and improve the structure of energy, industry, transportation, and land use. We will focus on addressing dust pollution, loose coal pollution, ozone pollution, diesel truck pollution, and heavy pollution weather. We will strengthen coordinated regional prevention and control, coordinated emission reduction of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, and coordinated control of PM2.5 and ozone pollution. Ensure that the six environmental air quality indicators meet the second-level standards, and resolutely fight the blue sky defense war.

We will coordinate efforts to improve water resources, water ecology, and the water environment, accelerate the construction of rain and pollution diversion networks, strengthen standardized management of discharge outlets into rivers, strengthen supervision of sewage treatment plants, and promote the supervision and treatment and reuse of water quality in industrial enterprises to meet the standards of water quality, ensure that the water quality in national examination sections is stable or better than Class III, and the water quality in provincial and municipal examination sections is completely removed from the inferior Class V, and resolutely fight to protect clear water.

We will strengthen the management and control of soil pollution risks on construction land and agricultural land, do a good job in the classification of household waste, promote the construction of "waste-free cities", strengthen the management of the whole process of safe and standardized disposal of industrial solid waste, raise the level of standardized disposal of industrial solid waste, and resolutely fight to protect clean land.

The average PM2.5 concentration was 36 micrograms per cubic meter, and the number of good days was 142 days. The water quality of 9 urban centralized drinking water sources has reached the standard, and the water quality of Class III and above has reached the annual target requirements. Issued the "2023 Special Action Plan for the Special investigation and Rectification of hidden dangers of Major ecological Environment accidents in the City", strengthened the management of environmental emergency plans for enterprises, and completed the filing of 82.
