International Fund for China’s Environment
Current status
China is the second largest energy consumption country in the
world
China’s energy is 90% self-sufficient
China’s per capital energy consumption is about the world average.
China’s energy is heavily relying on coal ( 1.9 billion TOE , about
50% production of the world)
Challenges
China’s economic growth was 10.5%/year from 20012010, expect 7-8% /year from 2010-2020, significantly
higher than the world average.
China’s energy demand is expected to continue to
increase
China’s CO2 emission is the largest in the world.
China’s cities are badly polluted.

Sustainable Energy Policies
Principles
Energy conservation first
Based on domestic sources
Diversifying
Protecting environment
Innovation in science & tech
Deepening reforming
International cooperation
Improving livelihood
Sustainable Energy Policies
Priorities
Fully implement energy conservation
Develop clean and renewable
energies
Promote clean use of fossil energies
Sustainable Energy Policies
Fully implement energy conservation

Hydroelectricity
China has a goal to generate at least 15 percent of total
energy output by 2020 using renewable energy sources
as the government aims to shift to a less-resource
intense economy. According to the consultancy EC
Harris, in 2010, China is the world's top investor in
renewable energy projects, having invested around
$120 billion to $160 billion between 2007 and 2010.
In 2009, China was the world’s largest producer of
hydroelectric power. In the same year, China generated
549 Bkwh of electricity from hydroelectric sources,
representing 16 percent of its total generation. Also,
according to FACTS Global Energy, installed generating
capacity was around 197 GW in 2009, accounting for
over a fifth of total installed capacity. These figures are
likely to increase given the number of large-scale
hydroelectric projects planned or under construction in
China, and the government’s State Energy Bureau
announced plans to increase hydro capacity to 380 GW
by 2020. The largest power project is the Three Gorges
Dam along the Yangtze River, which includes 32
separate 700-MW generators, for a total of 22.5 GW.
solar energy-solar power
50% solar PV panels are
manufactured in China
In 2010, China produced .58 GW
solar power, a relatively small
number. The cost is still 3-4 times
higher than coal power
For grid-connected generation, a
fixed purchase price is set
For rooftop solar power, gov.
provides financial aids up to 50% of
the cost
Target for 2015, 10 GW

nuclear power
China is actively promoting
nuclear power as a clean and
efficient source of electricity
generation. China’s government
forecasts that over 70 GW will
be generated by 2020, about
6% of total energy. As of 2012,
China has 16 operating
reactors, 26 new nuclear power
plants under construction.

Sustainable Energy Policies
Priorities
Promote clean use of fossil energies
•Mining coal with high efficiency and
safety
•Developing power plants with high
efficiency and clean production
•Exploring unconventional oil/gas actively
•Enhancing energy transporting system
Sustainable Energy Policies
Opportunities for international
cooperation/investments
•Advanced technologies in clean
energy development
•Advanced technologies in energy
conservation, esp. in industrial sectors
•Advanced technologies in clean
energy vehicles
•Energy service systems (smart grid,
energy management contract, etc.)
•Capacity building (tech training, policy
consulting, etc.)
