2014 annual unit GDP energy consumption will fall largely to 4.6% to 4.7%


A few days ago, as the "toughest in the history of" the official implementation of the law on environmental protection, energy saving and environmental protection work in China will also be promoted to a new level. The national development and Reform Commission official recently said that 2014 annual energy consumption per unit GDP will drop from 4.6% to 4.7% in General, it now appears that exceeded expectations.


Su Bo, Vice Minister of industry and information technology also said is expected in 2014 energy consumption fell by about 7% Yuan industrial added value, industrial output water down 5.8% million. "Twelve-Five" four years ago, industrial consumption of energy and water consumption of a cumulative decline of 21% and 28%, basically completed one year ahead of "Twelve-Five" goal. "Twelve-Five" four years ago, is expected to total phase out steel, iron, cement, plate glass, 69 million tons, backward production capacity reached 75 million tons of 570 million tons and 152 million weight boxes, significantly exceeded the "Twelve-Five" phase-out target.
Meanwhile, by the Ministry of industry and information technology issued by CCID Research Institute at the end of 2014, 2015 industry and Informatization development situation analysis and forecasts report series (hereinafter the report) showed that in 2014, China's industrial and economic growth slowing, industrial energy consumption growth rates come down, energy consumption per unit industrial value added decreased rapidly, annual energy-saving emission reduction targets with little suspense. Looking ahead to 2015 energy saving and emission reduction, the report argued that, in the industrial economic growth a "new normal", the "Twelve-Five" energy-saving emission reduction target is expected to be completed.


Energy saving and emission reduction work exceeded and 2014 to increase energy conservation and environmental protection efforts in China are inextricably linked. First of all, at the national level, in April 2014, the 12 session of the eighth national people's Congress meeting report of the Committee of the State Council on the work of energy conservation and emission reduction. Make "Twelve-Five" that binding targets will be energy-saving emission reduction progress lags behind, must take practical and effective measures, strengthen supervision and enforcement, strengthening energy saving hard constraints, the establishment of stricter evaluation and accountability system to ensure that "Twelve-Five" energy saving and emission reduction goals completed. In May, the State Council issued the 2014-2015 energy-saving low-carbon development programme of action clearly puts in 2014 and 2015, energy saving and emission reduction carbon reduction targets.


Secondly, the ministries also put forward a number of policies and measures for energy saving and environment protection. Early in 2014, the national development and Reform Commission issued to implement the energy saving and emission reduction, 2014-2015 carbon reduction action plan, Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of industry and information technology also jointly issued at the beginning of the 2014-2015 energy conservation programme of action on Science and technology projects. Then, coal-fired power unit environmental electric price and the environmental facilities run regulatory approach, and 2014-2015 energy emission reduction low carbon development action programme, and air pollution control action plans implementation situation assessment approach (pilot), and on further advance sewage right paid using and trading pilot work of guide views, series policy and measures of introduced became has China in 2014 years excess completed energy emission reduction work of "propeller".


National development and Reform Commission official said in 2015, we must intensify its efforts toward structural adjustment to, achieve energy-saving binding targets to cut emissions, combined with address overcapacity and cultivate new economic growth points, science building increase, upgrading memory, started a number of hydropower and nuclear power projects, according to local conditions to develop, such as wind power, solar energy, biomass energy, promoting the development of distributed energy in 2015, up to 11.4% per cent of non-fossil energy.
