December 2. President Mirziyoyev was presented with the measures aimed at the development of the "green" economy in Uzbekistan, the press service of the president reports.
The state program for the implementation of the Development Strategy in 2022 stipulated the transition to a "green" economy in industrial sectors and the development of an energy-saving program.
The document defines the concept of transition to a "green" economy and ensuring energy efficiency in industrial sectors. Based on this, the target indicators of saving fuel and energy resources in 25 strategically important enterprises will be confirmed which should lead to economising 3.9 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and 21 thousand tons of oil products in industrial sectors in 2022-2026.
From June 1, 2023, a system of "green certificates" confirming that products are produced using environmentally friendly energy and technologies will be introduced. For this purpose, the emission of greenhouse gases is gradually regulated. In this case, measures will be taken to support the work of reducing damage to nature by the state.
It is also proposed to fully implement the "polluter pays" principle, expand the list of substances in this regard, and increase the fee rate. Special attention is being paid to increasing scientific research on the "green" economy and implementing innovative projects.
A group will be formed to continuously evaluate the implementation of the measures specified in the document. It includes heads of 15 international organizations and financial institutions. The head of state approved these proposals and gave instructions on increasing energy efficiency in each sector and reducing energy costs in product production.
