从执法检查报告看节约能源法实施成效

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the Energy Conservation Law in China has shown significant results, with improvements in energy efficiency and a strong commitment from the government at all levels to promote energy-saving initiatives [1][2]. Summary by Sections Overall Achievements - Since the implementation of the Energy Conservation Law, energy consumption per unit of GDP has decreased by approximately 43% from 2007 to 2024, resulting in a cumulative energy saving of about 2.3 billion tons of standard coal [1] - Since the 18th National Congress, energy consumption per unit of GDP has decreased by 27.2%, making China one of the fastest countries in the world to reduce energy intensity, supporting an average economic growth of 6.1% with an average energy consumption growth of 3.3% [1] Sector-Specific Progress - Industrial energy conservation has advanced with 206 "leading" enterprises in key industries and 246 national green data centers established, promoting energy-saving renovations [2] - In construction, over 97% of new urban buildings in 2024 are expected to be green buildings [2] - Transportation energy conservation is progressing, with railway freight volume and water transport cargo volume increasing by 17.3% and 31.3% respectively compared to 2019, and new energy vehicles expected to account for 40.9% of total new car sales in 2024 [2] - Public institutions are also making strides, with energy consumption per unit building area and per capita energy consumption expected to decrease by 4% and 5.1% respectively by 2024 compared to 2020 [2] Technological Advancements - Significant breakthroughs in energy-saving technologies with independent intellectual property rights have been achieved, with energy-saving patents making up 10.7% of all patents in 2023 [2] - Over 4,600 projects supporting the upgrade of old equipment in various sectors are planned for 2024, with over 20 million units of key equipment expected to be updated, resulting in an estimated energy saving of about 2.5 million tons of standard coal [2] Challenges and Recommendations - Despite progress, overall energy utilization efficiency remains low, with issues in awareness, management, technology promotion, and incentive measures identified [3] - Recommendations include strengthening the priority of energy conservation, improving management mechanisms, enhancing the policy framework, and fostering technological innovation to support the energy-saving service industry [3]
