in 2010, compared with 2005, the number of
energy saving service companies increased from 76 to 782. The number of related
professionals grew from 16,000 to 17,500 and the size of the industry expanded from
4.7 to 83.6 billion RMB. Investment in contract energy administrative projects rose
from 1.3 to 28.7 billion RMB; while energy saving capacity went up from over 0.86 to
10.64 Mtce. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, social investment stimulated by
the energy saving service industry rose to more than 180 billion RMB.
3.1.2 Energy Saving and Emissions Reduction Methods and
Potential in the Industrial Sector According to the
12th Five-Year Plan and the Future
Looking at the 12th Five-Year Plan period and up to the year 2020, China will remain
in the development phase of fast industrialization and urbanization. The industrial
sector will remain the major area for future energy saving and emissions reduction.
And the carbon dioxide emissions intensity of per unit industrial added-value is five or
six times higher than the service sector. As such the potential for energy saving and
emissions reduction is still great. The main methods of improving energy efficiency
include developing a recycling economy, optimizing energy supply structure,
researching and popularizing low-carbon technology.
3.1.2.1 Improving Energy Efficiency
To achieve the national energy saving and emissions reduction goals set for the 12th
Five-Year Plan period, or to the year 2020, saving energy and improving energy
efficiency are the primary methods for the industrial sector to realize low-carbon
green development. There are two aspects to this: The first is the energy saving and
emissions reduction effect entailed by a reducing industrial sector as a ratio of the
total GDP. In the next 10 years, as the Chinese economy continues to transform, it is
expected that the added value of seven new major strategic emerging industries,
including the energy saving and environmental protection industries, would increase
to account for 15 % of the total GDP by 2020. The added value ratio of the service
sector would take this figure up to around 50 %. Meanwhile, the added-value of high
energy-consuming industries is reduced by 5 % or 6 % points, compared with 2005.
Therefore, a remarkable energy saving and emissions reduction result is evident.
Second, the industrial sector's energy strength can be improved by implementing a
strict industrial access regime and energy saving assessment system of fixed asset
investment projects, strictly controlling the energy efficiency levels of new plants,
further improving widely-used energy saving techniques at industrial plants, and
eliminating inefficient plants. By 2020, the added value ratio of high energy-
consuming industries in China should be reduced to below 25 % of national GDP.
The added value of industrial energy consumption has dropped by more than 40 %
