Within a 12 square kilometer space range, ecological functional zones account for 60%... In the starting area for the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in Jinan on the north bank of the Yellow River, an ecological business district (EBD) is growing towards greenery.

EBD is a new form of urban and industrial park, which places more emphasis on creating a people-oriented and ecologically protected urban space compared to the Central Business District. This year, the Jinan New and Old Energy Conversion Starting Zone took the lead in proposing the construction of EBD in the province, and multiple key projects have started construction.

Green is the foundation for high-quality development. Shandong firmly establishes and practices the concept that green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, cooperatively promotes carbon reduction, pollution reduction, and green growth, and continuously improves the quality of the ecological environment. In the first half of this year, the proportion of days with good air quality in Shandong, the proportion of good water bodies in national examination sections, and the proportion of good water quality in nearshore waters all reached the best level in history during the same period, with a more distinct background for green development.

A new city in the starting area with a blue green space accounting for 70%

Entering the urban exhibition hall of Jinan's starting area for the transformation of new and old kinetic energy, and watching the spatial planning of the starting area, the most prominent feeling is that the proportion of blue and green space is large.

The starting area is not about simply replicating an old city, but rather positioning itself as a modern rural city in the new era, with blue and green space accounting for 70%. "Li Guoxiang, Vice Mayor of Jinan City and Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Jinan New Old Energy Conversion Starting Area, said that the starting area takes the Yellow River as the ecological backbone and relies on natural ecological resources such as water systems, wetlands, and forests to build a networked ecological security pattern of" one belt, seven corridors, and multiple nodes ", Create a beautiful urban and rural spatial pattern of "one city, five regiments, sixteen districts, nine towns, and one hundred villages embedded in rural areas".

Every project embodies the green concept, and every building is a green building... In the starting area, green and low-carbon are not only reflected in the planning, but also implemented in all aspects of development. We have established a top-level design for green city construction, formulated the "New Era Modern Garden City" target system and planning guidelines, and introduced service regulations for green projects, green technologies, and green products to ensure that all green indicators are implemented Yu Zongxiao, Deputy Minister of the Construction Management Department of the Starting Zone Management Committee, said.

Taking industrial development as an example, the starting area vigorously introduces green, low-carbon, and high-tech industries. The Zhongke New Economy Science and Technology Innovation Park has settled in four important institutions of the Chinese science department, including Jinan Advanced Power Research Institute, Jinan Zhongke Nuclear Technology Research Institute, Jinan Zhongke Universal Intelligent Computing Research Institute, and Qilu Zhongke Carbon Neutrality Research Institute. It has established a full chain industrial development system that integrates research and development centers, transformation centers, incubators, accelerators, industrial parks, and applications, and has become an important strategic emerging industry cluster in the starting area Jie Jiawei, General Manager of Jinan First Investment Production and Operation Group, said that the starting area has introduced 162 high-end and high-quality projects such as BYD new energy vehicles, with a total investment of nearly 400 billion yuan.

Adhering to ecological priority and green development, the starting area will focus on green buildings, green energy, green transportation, and green municipal governance, striving to create a green, intelligent, and livable city of happiness, "Li Guoxiang said.

Long Island ushers in the peak tourist season

In August, Long Island ushered in the busiest season of the year. At the seaside of the North City Service Area on Long Island, groups of tourists are rushing to the sea. We lived in a nearby homestay, and our first experience was all on the beach with pebbles. It was really beautiful! "Said Ms. Feng, a tourist from Zibo.

In the past, the place where Ms. Feng rushed to the sea was a different story. In the 1980s and 1990s, Long Island extensively farmed seafood such as scallops, oysters, and sea cucumbers, and there were nursery farms everywhere. The large amount of aquaculture wastewater discharged from the nursery has had a significant impact on the nearshore environment, and the 'undersea forest' is becoming sparse year by year, "said Chu Wenbin, Director of the Marine Development Department of the Natural Resources Bureau of the Long Island Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Experimental Zone.

Offshore aquaculture has increased profits but damaged the environment. Long Island people have realized the importance of protecting the environment through painful lessons learned. In recent years, 13000 acres of offshore aquaculture have been vacated on Long Island, and 860000 square meters of shoreline nursery have been demolished. At the same time, nearly 660 million yuan of special funds have been sought, 15 projects have been implemented, and 37.1 kilometers of damaged shorelines have been renovated and repaired. The proportion of natural and tourist shorelines has increased from 38% to 87.7%. Through continuous ecological governance and restoration, the ecological environment of Long Island has significantly improved, and marine ecological resources and biological communities have been significantly restored. Algae such as large leaf algae and mouse tail algae can be seen everywhere on the coast. White finless porpoises and whales have frequently appeared, and the population of Oriental white storks, spotted seals, yellow billed egrets and other species that require extremely high ecological environment quality has significantly increased.

Protecting the "green waters and green mountains" has brought in the "golden mountains and silver mountains". Long Island integrates elements of "sea, shore, mountain, and island" to accelerate the development of ecological tourism. In the first half of this year, the total number of people entering Long Island reached 595600, an increase of 17.45% compared to the same period in 2019.

A Green and Zero Carbon Energy Storage Valley

This is the largest photovoltaic module currently on the market, with higher safety and significant reduction in construction and maintenance costs. "On July 25th, at Qilu Energy Storage Valley in Zibo, Li Yiqun, Chairman of Zibo Jingneng Technology Co., Ltd., pointed to the 700 watt high-power photovoltaic module in the exhibition hall. At present, this product has been put into production and is very popular in the market.

How can an old industrial city with a history of 120 years transform and upgrade in the process of promoting green, low-carbon, and high-quality development? Zibo has deeply implemented the "Four Strong" Industrial Climbing Plan and is committed to building new energy manufacturing and other industries. Qilu Energy Storage Valley is one of the "green, zero carbon" model parks that Zibo focuses on building, combining its industrial foundation advantages and transformation and upgrading development direction.

Qilu Energy Storage Valley is composed of a Zero Carbon Smart Innovation Industrial Park, a Solid State Lithium Battery Industrial Park, an Advanced Energy Storage Equipment Innovation Industrial Park, and a Zero Carbon Smart Research Institute. At present, industrial projects such as photovoltaic modules, energy storage containers, and solid-state lithium batteries have been completed and put into operation, gathering leading domestic new energy industry clusters such as Haibo Sichuang, Beijing Weilan, and Hangzhou Langu for development, laying a solid foundation for the formation of a hundred billion level industrial base. "Zhang Jiakui, Deputy Director of the Management Committee of the Zibo Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Demonstration Zone, said that Qilu Energy Storage Valley focuses on energy storage as its core industry, aggregating ventilation and power generation Create an advanced gathering place for wind, solar, and storage industries through the upstream and downstream chains of photovoltaic and battery cells.

Energy is a key area for promoting green and low-carbon transformation and development. Shandong takes the nine major projects of energy transformation and development as the starting point to accelerate the construction of five major clean energy bases, including offshore wind power, offshore photovoltaic, Jiaodong Peninsula nuclear power, the integration of wind, electricity and storage in salt marshes in northern Shandong, and "photovoltaic+" in coal mining subsidence areas in southwestern Shandong, so as to promote the base based and large-scale development of new energy and renewable energy. As of the end of June this year, the installed capacity of new and renewable energy power generation in the province reached 83.818 million kilowatts, accounting for 41.8% of the total installed capacity, an increase of 11.7 percentage points compared to 2020.
