3.1.1.2 The Task of Eliminating Inefficient Industrial Plants Went Well
and Adoption Rate of Industrial Energy Saving Technology
Increased
To quicken the pace of eliminating inefficient industrial plants is one of the most
significant measures taken to transform development, adjust economic structure,
improve economic growth quality, and achieve the energy saving and emissions
reduction goals set for the 11th Five-Year Plan period.
During the period of the 11th Five-Year Plan, various regions and departments
crafted a series of effective policies and measures to vigorously eliminate inefficient
industrial plants and did well to achieve the targets set by the 11th Five-Year Plan.
Inefficient and backwards coal power plants, with a capacity of 76.83 GWwere shut
down, and 120 Mt of iron refining capacity and 370 Mt of cement capacity were
eliminated (see Table 3.3 ). Positive progress has been made by shutting heavily
polluting industries such as papermaking, chemical, textile, printing and dyeing,
alcohol, monosodium glutamate and citric acid. The main policies and measures are:
implementing goals and fulfilling them; enhancing the reward and punishment
system; improving the relevant technical standards; eliminating inefficient plants;
taking full advantage of market mechanisms; increasing the cost of enterprises
engaged in inefficient industrial practices; ensuring social stability, and attaching
great importance to staffing arrangements.
The elimination of inefficient plants contributed to optimizing and upgrading the
structure of the industrial sector. The advanced production capacity of many major
industries greatly improved and large and efficient facilities were put into operation.
According to Table 3.4 , the ratio of thermal power units with a capacity over
300 MW increased from 47 % of the total in 2005, to 71 % in 2010. As for the
steel industry, furnaces above 1,000 m 3 grew from 21 % in 2005, to 52 % in 2010.
The advanced production capacity of other major energy-consuming industries is
also steadily taking up a growing proportion.
3.1.1.3 Smooth Development of the Major Projects and Energy Saving
Targets for “Thousands of Firms” Program Was Exceeded
The energy saving campaign at thousands of firms was aimed at the nearly 1,000
enterprises that had an annual comprehensive energy consumption of over
180,000 t of coal equivalent. The main measures were intended to strengthen
energy saving administration, for their energy consumption accounted for 50 %
of total industrial energy consumption and one-third of the national total. In April,
2006, the National Development and Reform Committee, along with other relevant
departments, initiated this program, with the aim of saving energy equivalent to 100
million tons of coal, during the period of the 11th Five-Year Plan. According to the
