Abstract

Saving energy and protecting environment are absolutely necessary basic national policies and preconditions for building an well-being society in China.China's energy consumption level in terms of gross domestic production(GDP) per 10 thousands US dollars is 3 to 11 times as much as that of advanced countries in the world.It indicates that China has huge energy saving potentials,in which industrial sectors,accounting for about 70 percent of total energy consumption,are the biggest in energy consumption,thus also the biggest in energy saving potentials.By 2020 China will have realized its target for building an all-round well-being society,and its total energy consumption will reach at 3300 million tonnes coal equivalence(tce) and GDP per 10 thousands US dollars will be 6.67 tce on the base of US[FK(W1.*2/3]S[XXZSX*3-ZXX*3] 3000 GDP per capita and 1.5 billion of population.Its energy consumption per capita will be 2.13 tce.As long as China chooses its feasible policies,China's energy will certainly meet its economic development objective per capita while consuming only half of the energy in advanced countries during their early development stages.Aiming to realize the above strategic objective,we should continue to build and perfect China's socialist market mechanism,prompt the new mechanism in energy saving and resource comprehensive utilization,accelerate the formulation of some supplementary regulations for the Energy Saving Law,and build a new technological innovation system of enterprises.
