This report proposes the development of
a coordinated and comprehensive national policy within the
Energy Law that is presently under preparation based on four
foundational themes: reducing energy growth below economic
growth, making better use of national energy resources,
safeguarding the environment, and making the energy system
robust to withstand potential disruptions. It stresses that
the policy measures and program to achieve sustainability
will have to be the subject of careful consultation within
government and extend to mobilizing China's civil
society. The scope of and potential for fruitful
international cooperation is also explored, but the detail
must be worked out in a cooperative framework. The main body
of the report is arranged in six chapters. The first
examines what the projections say about the future of
China's energy consumption and concludes that urgent
action is needed to avoid locking the country into an
unsustainable energy development path. Chapter two evaluates
end-use efficiency and finds that a less energy-intensive
path can be founded on the most advanced technologies. The
third chapter examines the damaging environmental impacts of
the huge prospective energy growth, which dictate the need
for a less-intensive path, a larger share of clean energy
sources, and dramatically more clean coal. Chapter four
assesses security of energy supply and proposes means to
improve it and ensure the safety of national energy supply
sources and networks. The fifth chapter emphasizes getting
right the pricing fundamentals of the sector. The last
chapter draws conclusions from the first five on matters
requiring urgent policy attention and proposes development
of a coordinated and comprehensive national policy for
energy sustainability. |
