China paid more attention to energy saving and emission reduction

目前国际社会在贸易规则上的新趋势，是以节能减排、绿色环保为技术壁垒的贸易保护主义。金融危机以来，国际社会都把发展节能环保产业、新能源产业作为未来产业发展的重要战略方向，并加大了研发投入和政府支持，这给本身自主创新能力比较弱的中国工业带来很大的冲击与挑战。我国在面临国际竞争的局势下，转变经济发展方式主要以提升工业竞争力与促进工业发展为主要目标，这既是由产业结构决定，也是由工业自身现状造成的。
According to the proposal from latest 2011 January Central Economic Work Conference, the economic work for 2011 will be mainly based on “transformation of the pattern of economic development”, which has been emphasizing on “the establishment of resource conserving and environment friendly society.” The industries as the bulk of national economy are facing a big job of transforming industrial development as well as challenges in the achievement of sustainability and harmony. The lack of economic efficient technology is obvious therefore the mission of “12 5” energy plan is to facilitate the maturity of advanced technology and standardize the system of industrial development.
In Dec.24 2010, Li-Yi-Zhong, the secretary of public works announced plans to put new industries of strategic importance as its key development such as information networks, advanced manufacturing, producer services, new energy sources, new materials, bio-medicine and so on.
Although the industry in recent years adopted a series of energy saving measures and achieved good results, emissions of the main energy-consuming industries such as steel industry is still above the world average. The "Existing iron and steel enterprise production and operation of access and administrative regulations" issued by China's department of public works in December 2009 not only set the requirements of production scale, but also provided a complete emission monitoring and controlling facilities; Wastewater per ton of steel does not exceed 2 cubic meters; Smoke and dust emissions per ton of steel does not exceed 1 kg; Sulfur dioxide emissions per ton of steel does not exceed 1.8 kilograms, etc. And all must be equipped with energy metering equipments. The regulations also set limitation to the specific energy consumption such as the maximum amount of energy consumption per ton of steel equals only 0.674 tons of standard coal, which is even stricter than the "Steel Industry Development Policy" issued by Chinese government in 2005 lowering the average energy consumption per ton of steel to 0.7 tons of standard coal till 2020.
The current trade rules for the international society in the new trend is of trade protectionism based on energy saving and environmental protection as the technical barriers. Since the financial crisis, the international society has regarded the development of energy-saving environmental protection industry and new energy industry as an important strategy for future industrial development, and increased R & D investment and government support, whose impact and challenge has been great on its relatively weaker counterparts of independent industrial innovation in China. In the face of international competition, the main goals of transformation of economic development form are primarily to enhance industrial competitiveness and to promote industrial development, which is determined both by the industrial structure and the current state of industry itself.
