China - Energy conservation study
UMA Engineering Ltd., Calgary, Canada | AGRA Earth & Environmental, Calgary, Canada
Improving energy efficiency is recognized in China and worldwide as an issue of strategic importance in China's development. The increasing need for energy services to sustain continued rapid economic development can be provided only through a balanced combination of increases in energy supply and improvements in the efficiency of energy use. This is true not only from the economic perspective, but also from an environmental point of view: improvements in energy efficiency are at the core of efforts to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study is to provide a broad overview of energy efficiency issues in China. It includes a review of macroeconomic energy intensity trends and the factors underlying them, and an assessment of priority areas for energy conservation initiatives and policy reform. The primary focus is on the industrial sector, which dominates commercial energy use. Electricity conservation was a special focus in the fieldwork. The study focuses mainly on strategic issues; more in-depth analysis of investment priorities is being undertaken as part of ongoing and planned follow-up work.
