"The global financial crisis has brought to our more challenges, but also opportunities for scientific and technological innovation. Each time accompanied by the financial crisis in a new round of scientific and technological revolution, and scientific and technological revolution will become a new engine of economic development. In the new round of scientific and technological revolution, the new energy is likely to form a new engine. "Science and Technology Minister Wan Gang yesterday in the" energy-efficient emission reduction and the China International New Energy Technology Expo, "said.
Many industry experts said that China has entered the stage of accelerated development of industrialization, and further promote energy-saving emission reduction under increasing pressure, and the new energy-saving emission reduction energy is symptomatic of medicine and technology.
Energy-saving efforts were offset by heavy industrial structure
Recently, in order to encourage enterprises to start, some regions of blind expansion of the signs of high energy-consuming industries, and for high energy-consuming industries introduced a preferential tariff policy. On the 7th of this month, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Public Works letter,电监会, energy, jointly issued, canceled for high energy-consuming enterprises around the implementation of the preferential tariff policies.
National Development and Reform Commission resource conservation and environmental protection Secretary Zhao-rong at the fair, said yesterday: "If allowed to develop, not only in previous years, structural adjustment, the results of energy-saving emission reduction are not consolidated, so that economic development will pay a higher the cost of the environment and resources. "
According to him, this year, China will speed up the elimination of outdated production capacity, will be shutting down small thermal power units 15 million kilowatts and eliminate backward production capacity of electrolytic aluminum 10 million tons, steel-making capacity of 6,000,000 tons, paper production capacity 500,000 tons, will also be differences in the implementation of tariff policy. The central finance will continue to support the central and western regions to speed up elimination of outdated production capacity. The central government will further support and guide financial institutions to strictly limit the high energy consumption, high pollution, excess industry capacity of the loan.
In 2008, the Chinese unit GDP energy consumption fell by more than 4.59 percent over the previous year, chemical oxygen demand, reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 4.42% and 5.95%, a total of shutting down small thermal power units 16.69 million kilowatts, surpassed the 13 million to develop the beginning of the year kW objectives, electrolytic aluminum, steel, paper production capacity out of the progress.
However, China's industrial structure has not changed the pattern of heavy-duty.
Zhao said: "in 2008 compared to 2005, the tertiary industry accounted for the proportion of GDP have not risen, the secondary industry accounted for the proportion of GDP has increased from 47.7% to 48.6%. From the internal structure of industries, the proportion of high-tech industry also a decrease of 2.1 percentage points, high energy-consuming industries in the industrial growth rate was significantly higher than the average growth rate. Although the increase technological progress and strengthening the management makes a substantial increase in energy efficiency, but the results achieved by the offset of heavy industrial structure. Therefore, China's environmental pressures continue to intensify. "
New energy is the industrialization and urbanization of the "background"
Chinese Academy of Engineering Xu at the meeting yesterday said that China is in the industrialization and urbanization of the medium-term. Do not solve the problem of new energy sources, it is difficult to complete the energy-saving emission reduction and maintenance of the dual goals of economic growth.
At present, each year 13 million ~ 19 million rural population into the cities to become members of the public transport and housing needs, which makes China's industrialization and urbanization will be lasting. At present, China's highway mileage only to the United States, the railway mileage ranks third in the world. According to the central government and relevant ministries of the building recently announced goal of the railway mileage in China will become the world's first, the volume of road transport will also do so.
"China's total industrial energy consumption has decreased in recent years though, but the energy consumption of heavy industry are on the rise because the iron and steel, cement and other heavy industry, energy demand on the rise. This is also the resources, energy consumption of the main reasons for more." said Xu.
According to him, in terms of per capita GDP 8000 ~ 10000 dollar range, all countries experienced a rapid increase in energy consumption stage. With further growth in per capita GDP, energy consumption will come down gradually, which is a complete industrialization and modernization process. 2008, China's per capita GDP is just over 3000 U.S. dollars.
