China News Service, Beijing, September 22 (Reporter Wang Enbo) Liu Dechun, director of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of China's National Development and Reform Commission, said on the 22nd that since 2012, China has supported the annual growth rate of energy consumption by an average of 3%. With an average economic growth of 6.6%, the energy consumption intensity has dropped by 26.4%, which is equivalent to a reduction of 1.4 billion tons of standard coal.
While China's energy utilization efficiency has been greatly improved, energy conservation in key areas has achieved remarkable results.
Liu Dechun said at a press conference held by the National Development and Reform Commission that day that China is deeply promoting technological energy conservation, management energy conservation, and structural energy conservation.
Since 2012, the energy consumption per unit of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size has been reduced by 36.2%; about 8.5 billion square meters of green buildings have been built, and about 1.7 billion square meters of energy-saving renovation of existing buildings have been completed; Consumption decreased by 18.8% and 21.7% respectively.
In terms of improving the institutional system, China has formed energy conservation laws and regulations under the leadership of the Energy Conservation Law, supported by regulations on energy conservation in civil buildings and public institutions, and guaranteed by regulations such as energy conservation review, energy conservation monitoring, energy efficiency labeling, and management of key energy-consuming units. system.
Implement and improve the dual control system of energy consumption intensity and total amount, issue 378 relevant national standards, and establish and improve supporting policies such as price, taxation, and finance.
Liu Dechun said that at present, China's development is still faced with prominent energy and resource constraints, and the promotion of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has put forward new and higher requirements for energy conservation.
The government will insist on giving priority to saving, put energy-saving work in a more prominent position, and further do a good job in related work.
He mentioned that it is necessary to effectively strengthen the guarantee of energy consumption for high-quality development.
Continue to improve the dual-control policy on energy consumption, optimize the frequency and method of evaluation and evaluation of energy-saving targets, implement the policy that newly added renewable energy and raw material energy use are not included in the total energy consumption control, implement a separate list of energy consumption for major projects, and ensure that the national layout is important. Reasonable energy demand for the project.
At the same time, resolutely curb the blind development of high-energy-consuming, high-emission, and low-level projects.
Optimize project management methods, implement list management, classified disposal, and dynamic monitoring.
Strictly control the threshold of incremental projects, tap the energy-saving potential of existing projects, and promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure.
