China Energy Policy *** Released

The State Council Information Office issued a *** on the 24th to comprehensively introduce the status quo of China's energy development and the challenges it faces as well as efforts to build a modern energy industry system and strengthen the overall deployment of energy international cooperation.

***Full text of about 14,000 words, divided into preface, energy development status, energy development policies and goals, comprehensive promotion of energy conservation, vigorous development of new and renewable energy, promotion of clean development of fossil energy, improvement of universal energy service standards, and acceleration Progress in energy science and technology, deepening energy system reforms, strengthening international energy cooperation, and concluding remarks.

*** pointed out that since the reform and opening up, China’s energy industry has grown rapidly, achieving the all-round development of coal, electricity, oil and natural gas, renewable energy, and new energy, and making efforts to ensure the long-term steady and rapid development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards. Important contribution. In 2011, total primary energy production in China reached 3.18 billion tons of standard coal, ranking first in the world.

He emphasized that China is the largest developing country in the world and faces the arduous task of developing the economy, improving people's livelihood, and building a well-off society in an all-round way. Maintaining long-term stable and sustainable use of energy resources is an important strategic task of the Chinese government. The basic content of China’s energy policy is to adhere to the energy development policy of “saving first, basing on domestic development, diversified development, environmental protection, scientific and technological innovation, deepening reforms, international cooperation, and improving people’s livelihood”, and promote the transformation of energy production and utilization methods to build safety, A stable, economical and clean modern energy industry system strives to support sustainable economic and social development with sustainable energy development.

***said that the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan Outline for the People's Republic of China on National Economic and Social Development" put forward: By 2015, China's non-fossil energy sources will account for 11.4% of primary energy consumption, and its unit GDP energy consumption ratio. In 2010, the number of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP fell by 16% compared with that of 2010.

The Chinese government promises that non-fossil energy will account for about 15% of primary energy consumption by 2020, and CO2 emissions per unit of GDP will fall by 40% to 45% from 2005. As a responsible big country, China will make unremitting efforts to achieve this goal.

*** Proposed that vigorously developing new energy and renewable energy is an important strategic measure to promote clean development of multiple energy sources and cultivate strategic emerging industries. It is also an urgent need to protect the ecological environment, address climate change, and achieve sustainable development. China will unswervingly vigorously develop new and renewable energy sources. By the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, non-fossil energy consumption will account for 11.4% of primary energy consumption, and non-fossil energy will account for 30% of installed capacity.

*** pointed out that reform is a powerful driving force for accelerating the transformation of development methods. China will firmly advance the reform of the energy sector, strengthen top-level design and overall planning, accelerate the establishment of institutional mechanisms conducive to the development of energy science, improve the environment for energy development, promote changes in energy production and utilization, and ensure national energy security.

***Finally emphasized that energy security is a global issue and most countries are unlikely to leave international cooperation and receive energy security guarantees. In the past, China did not, did not exist in the past, nor would it pose a threat to world energy security in the future. China will further strengthen cooperation with various energy-producing countries, consumer countries, and international energy organizations under the principle of equality, reciprocity, mutual benefit, and win-win results, jointly promote the sustainable development of the world's energy, and maintain the stability of the international energy market and prices, and ensure international cooperation. The safe and uninterrupted energy channel will make due contributions to safeguarding global energy security and responding to climate change.
