Policy Carriage Drives Sustainable Development of Air Source Heat Pump Industry

Abstract: With the rising energy prices, the country has been paying more attention to energy conservation. The introduction of the 12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction shows that energy conservation and emission reduction have become China's number one important target in the next five years. As air energy becomes a trend in the north, the market in the north of the Yangtze River has also become a blue ocean for corporate development. Its policy support will bring more encouragement and confidence to the air energy industry.

The development of the air-energy water heater industry has been in the country for more than a decade. The industry professionals are most expected to receive the support and subsidies of the national government as the heat pump industry in developed countries. Through the development of the air energy industry in recent years, its advantages in energy saving and emission reduction have gradually gained recognition from all walks of life. Local governments have also issued a series of support measures to support the development of the air energy industry.

As the most suitable regional market for air energy water heater products, Guangdong Province is also the most important industrial base. Guangdong's support for the air energy industry naturally attracts much attention from the industry. According to the reporter of the Refrigeration Express, “The 12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection in Guangdong Province” clearly puts emphasis on the development of highly efficient energy-saving household and commercial appliances. Focus on the promotion of energy-efficient products with an energy efficiency rating of 1, 2 and guide the development of energy-efficient home and commercial energy-saving products such as solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters. A series of measures have been introduced: "Guangzhou Citizens Building Energy Conservation Management Regulations" Sui Fu Office [2011] No. 4 document, to encourage the promotion of the application of renewable energy technologies such as heat pumps in civil buildings; air-energy heat pump water heaters are listed Into the "Guangdong Province Energy Conservation Technology, Equipment (Products) Recommended Directory (First Batch)", Guangzhou City Construction Committee Office, to Further Promote the Application of New Technologies, New Materials, New Processes, New Products, and New Equipment in the Construction Field of Guangzhou City Among the several opinions, it is clearly stated that the air energy heat pump should be used as the key to promote building energy conservation and new energy application technologies.

Handan City will include the application of air source heat pump hot water system management in the scope of renewable energy management. It is clear that the newly built residential projects in the main urban area, especially buildings with short direct sunlight, can be independently selected by air-source heat pump water heaters or solar water heaters, and integrated with the construction engineering, synchronized construction, single-family acceptance, and simultaneous delivery. For air-sourced heat pump water heater construction projects, the cost of air-energy water heaters is included in the total project construction investment budget. For the projects that should be used without the use of water sources, ground sources, air source heat pump hot water systems or solar energy and other renewable energy systems, the municipal construction administrative department shall impose penalties in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

East China and Central China have also become important areas for air energy companies. Their support policies are also the focus of attention of all sectors of society. Zhejiang Energy-saving Technology Product Promotion-oriented Directory (Third Batch)" and Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture government-purchased list of energy-saving products (sixth period). In the No. 20 document issued on May 18, 2011, the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Fujian Province made it clear that air energy water heaters are the preferred products for construction projects. The Ningbo Municipal Government can provide a 20% subsidy for the construction cost of such energy-saving projects as air-sourced hot water after receiving the user's application and acceptance according to the procedures; Chongqing Municipality provides high-temperature heat pumps for the use of renewable energy to provide domestic hot water. The unit has a subsidy of 900 yuan per kilowatt for the rated heating capacity of the unit.

In addition, at the national level, according to the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Establishing a System of Compulsory Purchase of Energy-saving Products by the Government," the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission have adjusted the "government procurement list for energy-saving products." In the relevant regulations, there are six catalogues related to air source heat pump technology products and projects, and air source heat pump products have been listed in the “Government Procurement Catalog of Energy-saving Products”. These five directories are: “National energy efficiency label management catalog” , “The Catalogue of National Energy-Saving Technology Energy-Saving Products Promotion”, “Catalogue of Key National Energy-saving Project Demonstration Projects”, “Catalogue of National Civil Building Energy-saving New Technologies, New Processes, New Materials, and New Equipment”, “Renewable Energy Industry Development Guide Catalog.

Specific to the development of enterprises, a few days ago, the company's low-carbon and energy-saving air-energy water heater products were incorporated into the Torch Plan by the country, and they have also become the focus of attention of many industry professionals. At the same time, according to the understanding of the large air-conditioning and refrigeration market, at the industry gathering in December 2011, some industry sources disclosed that they would strive to incorporate air energy into the new energy range, strive for national support and support policies, and become new to the air energy industry. hope.
