Over the years, the environmental protection industry has followed the trend of green development, continuously growing and expanding in various fields such as pollution prevention and control, ecological protection and restoration, and resource recycling, effectively supporting high-quality economic development and high-level ecological protection, and becoming a sunrise industry that promotes green, low-carbon, and circular development.
Over the years, the environmental protection industry has followed the trend of green development, continuously growing and expanding in various fields such as pollution prevention and control, ecological protection and restoration, and resource recycling, effectively supporting high-quality economic development and high-level ecological protection, and becoming a sunrise industry that promotes green, low-carbon, and circular development.
Entering the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China is accelerating the transformation of its development mode, vigorously developing a green economy, and promoting the realization of the "double carbon" goal. This provides new development opportunities for the environmental protection industry; The transformation of ecological environment protection from end of pipe treatment to full process control has put forward new requirements for the coverage and supply capacity of the environmental protection industry. Therefore, taking innovation as the development momentum and continuously improving the innovation ability is the inevitable choice for the further development of the environmental protection industry.
Scientific and technological innovation is the core driving force leading the development of environmental protection industry. In the past ten years, in the field of environmental protection, China's invention patent applications accounted for more than half of the total number of global invention patents; in the field of environmental technology, China ranked second in the world in the number of high-value patents. This fully shows that we have the ability to make continuous progress in environmental protection science and technology innovation. As the main body of innovation, enterprises should strengthen their confidence, increase R & D investment in environmental protection technology innovation, and seek breakthroughs in key core technologies urgently needed by the market.
Specifically, small and medium-sized enterprises should be refined and stronger on the subdivision track and become "little giants" in the professional field; leading enterprises should give full play to the advantages of resource integration and cluster the achievements of technological innovation to provide comprehensive solutions for regional environmental governance. The innovative joint force formed by the convergence of the two will effectively promote the environmental protection industry to become bigger and stronger, and then integrate with energy, materials and other related industries to better serve the needs of China's high-quality development.
The development of any industry should be based on sustained and stable income. Different from other industries, the environmental protection industry takes a good ecological environment as the "production object" and has a strong public welfare. How to transform environmental benefits into economic benefits and expand the source of funds for ecological environment management has become a key issue affecting the sustainable development of environmental protection industry.
In this regard, we must boldly innovate in the business model, realize the value transformation of ecological products, and open up the return on investment mechanism. In recent years, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang and other places have actively explored new paths for the development of environmental protection industries such as the EOD model, the third-party treatment of environmental pollution, and the operation and maintenance of regional environmental trusteeship, and have achieved certain results. These pilot experiences will help the environmental protection industry to enhance its "self-hematopoiesis" function, reduce its dependence on purely government-paid ecological and environmental governance projects, and turn the "new road" into a "big road".
In order to continuously activate the innovation ability of the environmental protection industry, it is necessary to cultivate the soil to support innovation and create a good innovation environment for the environmental protection industry. The characteristics of technology-intensive, large investment, and long return period make the environmental protection industry face practical problems such as financing difficulties and expensive financing. The development of green finance and the comprehensive improvement of the financing environment of the environmental protection industry can directly address the development pain point of the tight cash flow of the environmental protection industry and provide a source of living water for industrial innovation. Fortunately, financial instruments such as the National Green Development Fund have already entered the market, giving full play to the advantages of central financial investment in a market-oriented way, attracting social capital to help the environmental protection industry cultivate new growth points.
The environmental protection industry is promising, and innovation and development will win the future. Let us make more innovative attempts and introduce more good strategies to cultivate an innovative environment, so that the innovative vitality of the environmental protection industry can fully flow, and better support the construction of ecological civilization and a beautiful China.
