Only by opening up new space for industrial quality and efficiency, promoting transformation in development, and promoting development in transformation, can we maximize the power of green transformation of manufacturing enterprises.

At the recently held 2023 Industrial Green Development Conference, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stressed that the concept of green development should run through the whole process of industrial production, the whole chain and the whole field. In recent years, the central government has frequently proposed to promote the high-end intelligent green development of the manufacturing industry, but in enterprise practice, high-end is the focus, intelligence is the focus, and green is often ignored.

Manufacturing enterprises have the enthusiasm for high-end and intelligent, because high-end means high-end value chain, enterprises to competitiveness, profits, high-end naturally has a strong internal drive, especially some major technological breakthroughs can also get special financial support, so high-end has been the focus of high-quality enterprises. Intelligence is the focus of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the key to China’s manufacturing from large to strong is to make good use of the two advantages of manufacturing power and network power, so that a new generation of information technology and manufacturing fully integrated. In practice, it can also be seen that the effect of intelligence in terms of cost reduction and efficiency is immediate, and it has become an important means for many manufacturing enterprises to reshape new advantages in recent years.

Compared with high-end intelligence, the power of green transformation of enterprises is insufficient. It is also very good to understand that good steel should be used on the edge of the knife, the limited capital of the enterprise, to survive in the fierce market competition, to solve the most urgent problems, the fastest gain has become the key consideration for the enterprise to decide on capital investment. Green investment is large, the effect is slow, and even affects corporate profits in the short term, restricting the enthusiasm of corporate investment. In addition, China’s manufacturing industry has a large number of small scale, dispersed layout, a wide variety of small enterprises, green transformation encountered a wide variety of problems, management is difficult, so there is a “do not transition to die, transition to die” argument.

The greening of manufacturing industry is the inevitable requirement of new industrialization and the due meaning of Chinese modernization. In the long run, the Chinese style of modernization is a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. China’s accelerating green industrial development conforms to the general trend of The Times and meets the needs of global green and low-carbon development cooperation. It is the responsibility and responsibility of a major country. At present, China’s modernization process has not yet been completed, and the industrial structure has not yet crossed the stage of high consumption and high emissions. To break through the bottleneck of resource and environmental constraints, we must adhere to the new path of industrialization, accelerate the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly green manufacturing system, and create new green momentum.

However, it should be noted that the greening of manufacturing industry cannot be divorced from reality, nor can it be achieved overnight. China is still in the rapid development process of industrialization and urbanization, and the industry transfer needs to be gradual and orderly. Based on the current situation of industrial structure and resources in our country, and based on the current stage of development, we need to grasp the rhythm and intensity of the transformation, make green development open new space for improving the quality and efficiency of the industry, promote transformation in the development, promote development in the transformation. In order to maximize the motivation of green transformation of manufacturing enterprises.

Let intelligence empower green manufacturing. Digital technology can optimize product design, improve production efficiency, reduce material loss and energy consumption emissions, effectively combine intelligent transformation with green, drive the change of production mode through digital transformation, use digital technology to improve the level of energy, resources and environmental management, form new economic growth points in the green and low-carbon field, and realize the synergy of enterprise economic and social benefits. Easier to be accepted by enterprises.

The greening of the manufacturing industry should also be based on the actual layout of the industry, and it cannot be a one-size-fits-all. The distribution of resources in different parts of China is different, the division of labor in different industries, and the direction of green is not the same. For example, although high-tech industries and advanced manufacturing account for a relatively large proportion in the eastern region, the pressure of resource and environmental constraints is also greater, and it is more necessary to set an example of green and low-carbon transformation. The central and western regions are important areas for the supply of raw materials, and many places have formed a single industrial structure for a long time, or even a single industry, and the green transformation has to be done for a long time.

From the overall situation of economic and social development and long-term tasks, China’s commitment to green development will not change. It is necessary to properly handle the relationship between long-term goals and short-term indicators, industrial growth and energy conservation and carbon reduction, and the relationship between the government and effective markets, firmly promote the high-end industrial structure, low-carbon energy consumption, recycling of resources, clean production processes, green product supply, and digital manufacturing processes, and there is a lot of room for green manufacturing.
