In order to further promote the carbon peak and carbon neutrality work in the railway sector, the National Railway Administration recently jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Low-Carbon Development in the Railway Industry" together with relevant departments, clarifying that by 2030, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit transportation workload and unit transportation Workload carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 10% compared with 2020, the railway electrification rate will reach more than 78%, the railway entry rate in important coastal ports will reach more than 80%, and the proportion of electric locomotives will strive to reach more than 70%.

Focusing on these goals, the National Railway Administration will focus on three things this year. The first is to further give play to the backbone role of railway transportation. Implement the arrangements made at the Fourth Meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission on reducing logistics costs for the whole society, optimize and adjust the transportation structure, and promote the "road-to-rail" transportation of bulk goods such as coal and ore. Speed up the construction of special railway lines, reduce construction and use costs, and improve the railway collection and distribution system. Vigorously develop railway container transportation and increase the proportion of container rail-water combined transport. The second is to vigorously promote the application of new railway energy equipment. my country's railway carbon emissions mainly come from diesel locomotives. There are currently nearly 10,000 diesel locomotives undertaking transportation tasks. In particular, some industrial and mining enterprises are still using DC diesel locomotives from the 1950s and 1960s, which are highly polluting, energy-consuming and noisy. , elimination and update are imperative. We will work with relevant departments to formulate emission standards and management measures for diesel locomotives, improve and update subsidy policies, accelerate the promotion and application of new energy locomotives, and strive to basically eliminate old diesel locomotives by 2027. This is also the railway industry's implementation of the Party Central Committee's decision to promote large-scale Specific actions for device updates. The third is to promote the comprehensive green transformation of railway construction, operation and maintenance. Improve the level of green construction of railway projects, reduce the energy consumption and emission levels of railway infrastructure construction, promote the intelligentization of railway transportation organization, dispatching and command, vigorously develop intelligent train dispatching and marshalling technology, and enhance the digitalization and intelligence of railway operation and maintenance management and operation and maintenance level.
