In terms of clean energy supply, 66 county-wide rooftop photovoltaic pilot projects were carried out, and a batch of clean heating projects such as geothermal and biomass were implemented. The installed capacity of renewable energy power generation was over 4 million kilowatts and the heating capacity of renewable energy was 24 million square meters; Increasing the introduction of clean power, it is estimated that the annual absorption of 70 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from outside the province, a year-on-year increase of nearly 17%; the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption in the whole year will increase by about 1%.

In terms of industrial transformation and development, we have issued and implemented action plans for resolutely curbing the blind development of "two highs" projects, established a consultation and joint review mechanism, and approved new "two highs" projects in accordance with laws and regulations. Strengthen energy conservation supervision, and comprehensively rectify illegal and disorderly use of energy. Developed and implemented an energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformation action plan for key energy-consuming units. The province's 835 high-energy-consuming enterprises made a list of accounts, and 30% of the enterprises implemented energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformations. In the first 11 months of this year, the intensity of industrial energy consumption fell by more than 6%.

Regarding the adjustment of the transportation structure, we will accelerate the construction of green transportation infrastructure such as special railway lines and shipping. The implementation of Shahe Luohe Section, Tanghe Provincial Boundary to Madian Section, Huaibin Road, Iron and Water Integration Port and other projects, to build Anyang Wanzhuang Highway Railway Logistics Park and other three special railway lines. Accelerate the promotion of new energy vehicles. The province has added 786 new energy buses this year, with 33,100 new energy buses in total, accounting for 86% of the total.

In terms of energy conservation and carbon reduction in the construction sector, we have actively promoted green building legislation. The "Regulations on Green Buildings of Henan Province" has passed the first trial of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress. Strictly implement green building standards and vigorously promote prefabricated buildings and ultra-low energy-consumption buildings. The province has added nearly 50 million square meters of green buildings, accounting for 65% of new buildings. In terms of forestry ecological protection and restoration, the province's natural forest resource protection project management area reached 21.03 million mu, the new round of conversion of farmland to forest and grassland project area reached 158,000 mu, and the national public welfare forest management and protection area reached 15.236 million mu.

"Implementing a green and low-carbon transformation strategy to promote the achievement of carbon peak and carbon neutrality is of great significance, arduous task, and glorious mission. In the next step, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will follow the deployment of the central and provincial party committees, adhere to the principles of "overall planning, coordinated advancement, classified policy implementation, and safe carbon reduction", and will focus on the green and low-carbon transformation of various industries and industries.
