“双碳”目标下造纸行业面临的挑战及应对策略

The Challenges and Strategies for the Paper Industry under the"Double Carbon"Target

自2020年9月22日习近平主席向国际社会承诺中国“二氧化碳排放力争于2030年前达到峰值,努力争取2060年前实现碳中和”以来,全国各行各业都在积极探索研究实现碳达峰碳中和的路径。而我国产业结构偏重、能源结构偏煤的现状决定了工业企业尤其是高能耗的工业企业将是碳减排的主力军。

On September 22, 2020, President Xi Jinping pledged that China would strive to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060(so called China’s "double carbon" target). Since then, all industries across the country are actively exploring the path to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and industrial enterprises especially with high energy consumption will be the main force in carbon emission reduction. Compared with power generation, petrochemical, chemical, building materials, iron and steel, nonferrous industries, the paper industry’s total carbon emission accounted for a relatively low level. But the continued expansion of paper industry led to rising energy demand in the next decade. And coupled with the current coal-based high-carbon energy structure, paper industry must take more vigorous carbon reduction measures in response to the "double carbon" target. To this end, this article will analyze the challenges and strategies to address the "double carbon" target for the paper industry.
