Recently, there have been a range of measures taken by the Chinese authorities to achieve emission reductions, also called "Energy Dual Control". The dual control system, first set in the country's 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), has taken on added significance since Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2020 committed the country to peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral by 2060. According to the plan, China will set a five-year target of energy consumption and energy intensity for different provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, in an effort to reasonably manage indicators of total energy consumption and energy intensity. The plan also clarified a series of phased goals of China. By 2025, the dual control system will be more complete, with a more reasonable allocation of energy resources and sharply improved energy utilization efficiency. By 2030, with a further improved dual control system, the intensity of energy consumption will continue to drop significantly, the total energy consumption be reasonably controlled and the energy structure be more optimized. By 2035, the optimal allocation of energy and the comprehensive conservation system of resources will be more mature and finalized, which will strongly support the achievement of the goal of steadily reducing carbon emissions after reaching the peak.

The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a plan to improve the dual control level of energy consumption intensity and total energy consumption, according to the NDRC website on September 16. According to the plan, energy consumption of major national projects will be coordinated, projects with high energy consumption and high emissions will be strictly controlled, and local governments will be encouraged to exceed their targets for reducing energy intensity. Relevant major projects approved by the CPC Central Committee and The State Council and put into operation and reached production during the current five-year plan period shall, after comprehensive consideration of the national targets for dual control of energy consumption and reporting to The State Council for the record, be exempted from or exempted from the dual control assessment of energy consumption during the annual and current five-year plans. The plan requires all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government to compile lists of projects under construction, planned to be built or in stock that are energy-intensive and have high emissions, clarify their opinions on how to deal with them, and promptly submit adjustments to the National Development and Reform Commission The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and other relevant departments will strengthen window guidance on energy efficiency level, environmental protection requirements, industrial policies and relevant planning for projects that will consume 50,000 tons of standard coal or more. For projects that consume less than 50,000 tons of standard coal, local governments will strengthen management and strict control of energy consumption. For projects that do not meet the requirements, local governments should strictly check their energy conservation, environmental impact assessment and approval, and financial institutions should not provide credit support. Proposal. By 2025, the dual control of energy consumption will be improved, the allocation of energy and resources will be more rational, and the utilization efficiency will be greatly improved. By 2030, the dual control of energy consumption will be further improved, energy intensity will continue to fall significantly, total energy consumption will be properly controlled, and the energy mix will be better optimized. By 2035, the optimized allocation of energy and resources and the comprehensive conservation system will be more mature and take shape, which will provide strong support for achieving the goal of keeping carbon emissions stable and declining after peaking. The plan calls for strict implementation of energy-saving review system. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) should earnestly strengthen the energy conservation review of projects that consume large amounts of energy, especially fossil energy, in line with their respective targets ...

Indonesia's finance ministry said the maximum export levy would be lowered to $175 a tonne when crude palm oil prices exceeded $1,000 a tonne, down from $255 previously. When crude palm oil prices reach at least $750 / ton, a special export tax of $50 / ton is levied; For every $50 / ton increase in crude palm oil, the special export tax will increase by $20 / ton. Indonesia's decision to change the tax structure for palm oil exports is expected to boost exporters' profit margins, although other groups say frequent rule changes are hurting demand, the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (Gapki) said, according to media reports. Joko Supriyono, chairman of Gapki, said lower taxes were expected to give companies room to invest or increase capacity to absorb the extra workers. This matters when the government wants the economy to recover faster. However, other groups said frequent changes in the tax structure created uncertainty for the industry. Gulat Manurung, chairman of Apkasindo, a small farmers' group, said the changes could lead to buyers taking a wait-and-see attitude and lower demand for Indonesian palm oil, adding that palm fruit prices had been affected. cooling agents At the same time, Sahat Sinaga, executive director of the Indonesian Vegetable Oil Industry Association (GIMNI), said frequent changes in tax rules made it difficult for traders to calculate the price and risk of palm oil contracts. Global markets do not like changing policies, and rules should be maintained for at least a year.

According to ZME Science, researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed an experimental method to convert treated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into vanillin, the main ingredient from vanilla beans that gives vanilla its distinctive taste and aroma. To convert PET into vanillin, researchers developed a strain of E. coli bacteria that "eats" the terephthalic acid from PET and converts it into vanillin through a series of chemical reactions. In one experiment, researchers successfully used E. coli bacteria to turn used plastic bottles into vanillin. The researchers will conduct further experiments to find out if the plastic-made vanillin is safe to eat. Lead author Joanna Sadler, from the University of Edinburgh's School of Biological Sciences, said: "This is the first time an ecosystem has been used to recover plastic waste and turn it into a high-value industrial chemical, which has great implications for creating a circular economy. "Our results have significant implications for plastics sustainability and demonstrate the potential of synthetic biology to address today's problems."

On June 8, 021, the 24th Food Ingredients China Exhibition (FIC2021) grandly opened at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center. The FIC2021 exhibition will continue to use the five venues of the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) to display by product category. More than 1,500 well-known companies from all over the world will bring new products and new technologies from the entire industry to a grand appearance. Five exhibition areas, 140,000 square meters of exhibition area, more than 50 new product and new technology conferences, gathered at FIC, shared the development and trade opportunities of the food industry, and provided impetus for the development of the dual circular economy after the epidemic!
