| Summary: | China's comprehensive 2006-10
energy conservation drive has succeeded in both delivering
strong results to date and laying policy and program
foundations for delivering more energy savings well into the
future. The policies, program concepts, and implementation
platforms created over the last four years will serve China
well to achieve further energy conservation results during
the next five-year planning cycle, and to help achieve
China's target to reduce the carbon intensity of its
economy by 40-45 percent by 2020. However, much work remains
to be done, to improve, adjust, and strengthen the programs
further, and to continue to interject new and creative
solutions. This report seeks to provide provincial agencies
and groups in China, and those that support them, with some
outside perspectives and ideas on further development of
provincial-level energy conservation programs over the next
several years. The report also describes the provincial
energy conservation programs developed during the last four
years in some detail, since these programs are generally not
well known outside of China. Primary focus is given to
programs in the industrial sector. The industrial sector
accounts for about three-quarters of China's energy
consumption and is a priority for provincial governments
Only several of the many important topics worthy of analysis
could be considered in this first study; additional worthy
topics may be analyzed in the future. |
