The “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” for the Green Development of Civil Aviation was issued

The Zhitong Finance App learned that the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the “15th Five-Year Plan” for the Green Development of Civil Aviation (hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Plan”). The “Implementation Plan” clearly states that by 2030, the green and low-carbon transformation of civil aviation will achieve breakthrough progress, the industry's total carbon emission and intensity control systems will initially be completed, the energy consumption structure will be further optimized, and the collaborative capacity for carbon reduction and pollution reduction will be significantly enhanced. The carbon dioxide emissions per passenger throughput of transport aviation tonnes and airport units will drop by 4% and 15%, respectively, compared to the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, ranking among the world's leaders.

The “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” for the Green Development of Civil Aviation was issued

In order to thoroughly implement the strategic decisions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, promote the implementation of the “15th Five-Year Plan for Civil Aviation Development”, continue to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of civil aviation, and coordinate high-quality development and high level protection, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the “15th Five-Year Plan” (hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Plan”).

The “Implementation Plan” emphasizes that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, civil aviation will adhere to Xi Jinping's ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress and the 20th Plenary Session of the CPC, earnestly implement the Fourth Plenary Session deployment, completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, take carbon neutrality as a strategic guide, adhere to the general tone of steady progress and progress, adhere to effective markets and promising government, adhere to goal orientation and collaborative promotion, adhere to gradual and risk prevention, adhere to internal and external coordination, openness and win-win situation, and enhance the green development of civil aviation Main line to promote the safety and efficiency of clean, low-carbon energy Utilize, build and implement the aviation carbon market and improve operational efficiency as the main focus, supported by scientific and technological innovation and industrial collaboration, and the establishment of a sound institutional system as a guarantee, further promote the construction of a green and low-carbon circular development system for civil aviation, and jointly promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth in the civil aviation industry, and provide a strong guarantee for the construction of first-class civil aviation.

The “Implementation Plan” clearly states that by 2030, the green and low-carbon transformation of civil aviation will achieve breakthrough progress, the industry's total carbon emission and intensity control systems will initially be completed, the energy consumption structure will be further optimized, and the collaborative capacity for carbon reduction and pollution reduction will be significantly enhanced. The carbon dioxide emissions per passenger throughput of transport aviation tonnes and airport units will drop by 4% and 15%, respectively, compared to the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, ranking among the world's leaders.

The “Implementation Plan” proposes that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, around the above goals, the civil aviation industry will deploy seven key tasks to further promote the green and low-carbon transformation and development of the industry. The first is to systematically improve the green civil aviation governance system. Continue to improve the standard and regulation system, improve the policy system, optimize the work promotion system, strengthen the supervision and management system, establish a governance structure with clear rights and responsibilities and smooth operation, and comprehensively raise the level of systematization, standardization and standardization of green civil aviation governance. The second is to accelerate the optimization of the energy use structure of civil aviation. Continue to promote the enhancement of the competitive advantage of the sustainable aviation fuel industry, steadily promote the application of sustainable aviation fuel, thoroughly fight the battle to defend the blue sky, strengthen the development and utilization of renewable energy at airports, and accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient civil aviation energy use system. The third is to promote the construction of the aviation carbon market in a steady and orderly manner. Establish and improve a management system conducive to strengthening unified supervision and management, clear powers and responsibilities, and efficient operation for aviation to participate in national carbon emissions trading, coordinate the construction of an international aviation carbon market, and give full play to the incentive and restraint role of the market mechanism in reducing carbon emissions from civil aviation. Fourth, comprehensively implement savings strategies. On the premise of ensuring safety and service quality, we will continue to improve the level of flight fuel efficiency, strengthen the conservation and intensive use of airport resources, vigorously develop a circular economy, accelerate the construction of economical institutions, and accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of the way the civil aviation industry develops. Fifth, carry out in-depth prevention and control of environmental pollution. Implement aircraft noise pollution prevention and control in accordance with the law, science, and accuracy, raise the level of treatment of solid waste and sewage at airports, promote harmonious coexistence between civil aviation and the ecological environment, and continuously raise the level of environmental pollution prevention and control in civil aviation. The sixth is to comprehensively enhance the scientific and technological innovation capabilities of green civil aviation. Focus on the strategic needs of the green and low-carbon transformation of civil aviation, establish and improve the green civil aviation technology support system, improve the green civil aviation talent training system, promote the development of educational science and technology talents in an integrated manner, and provide strong scientific and technological support and talent guarantee for the green and low-carbon transformation of civil aviation. The seventh is to deepen international cooperation on green and low-carbon civil aviation. Adhere to the principles of fairness, common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, actively participate in the fight against climate change in international aviation, promote the joint construction of a green air silk road, and continuously enhance China's voice and influence in the field of green development of international civil aviation.

The “Implementation Plan” calls for maintaining and strengthening the Party's overall leadership of the green development of civil aviation, giving full play to the overall planning role of the Civil Aviation Carbon Summit and Carbon Neutrality Work Leading Group, improving cross-departmental collaboration, and coordinating the key tasks set out in the plan. Establish and implement a correct view of political performance, and resolutely put an end to issues such as formalism, extensive control, and simplification of “one size fits all”. Strengthen policy publicity and interpretation, and create a good public opinion atmosphere for the implementation of the plan.
