emission

The largest absolute energy savings have been made by China, 58% of global energy saving -----World bank report

1. Practice and experience on carbon emission

Less energy used gets the high GDP speed

2.1Energy saving and energy efficiency

Key areas of energy conservation:

– Industrial：boilers, energy-efficiency

motor promotion projects,

– Energy-efficiency building.

– Transportation：airport, port, green

city transportation, electric cars,

electric bicycles

Phase out Incandescent Light

The UN secretary-general, Ban ki-moon , participated in the

signature ceremony of Phasing–out of Incandescent Lamps &

Energy Saving Lamps Promotion Project on Jul.24 ,2009.

2.2 Low Carbon and Carbon trading

Carbon trading pilots: 7 provinces and cities

Low Carbon pilot cities: 42

Low Carbon Industrial Parks: 55

Low Carbon residential communities: 1000

2.3 Renewable energy

Renewable technology

----PV & Wind power

Technologies are improved quickly.

Market is getting better as PV cost is low

then before and incentive policies.

2.3 Renewable energy

Electric car

----Technology of battery and charging is improving.

-----Incentive policy

Subsidy for car price and electricity price

In Beijing, no limitation for one-day-stop a week and

easy to get a car’s license plate number

Total cost of electric car is lower than fuel car about 1/3

to 1/2 , direct cost (electricity & gas ) is lower than ¼

----Problems: charging place and time, price, battery

technology (cast and capacity) and quality

Objectives of Mitigating Climate Change in 2030:

China and United States jointly issued the China-Us

statement on climate change, in November 2014

China intends to achieve the peaking of CO2 emissions

around 2030 and to make best efforts to peak early

Increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy

consumption to around 20% by 2030

3.Green development

11

Conclusion Large reduction of carbon emission can be achieved

Energy consumption intensity had been decreased

by 30%, the carbon emission intensity had been

decreased by 34% from 2005 to 2014

Promote the green development for the climate

change

Green development = Sustainable development
