The policies, program concepts, and implementation platforms created over the last four years will serve China well to achieve further energy conservation results during the next five-year planning cycle, and to help achieve China's target to reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 40-45 percent by 2020. However, much work remains to be done, to improve, adjust, and strengthen the programs further, and to continue to interject new and creative solutions. This report seeks to provide provincial agencies and groups in China, and those that support them, with some outside perspectives and ideas on further development of provincial-level energy conservation programs over the next several years. The report also describes the provincial energy conservation programs developed during the last four years in some detail, since these programs are generally not well known outside of China. Primary focus is given to programs in the industrial sector. The industrial sector accounts for about three-quarters of China's energy consumption and is a priority for provincial governments Only several of the many important topics worthy of analysis could be considered in this first study; additional worthy topics may be analyzed in the future.CC BY 3.0 IGOAIR POLLUTIONALLOCATIONAPPROACHAVAILABILITYAVERAGE FUEL EFFICIENCYBALANCEBUILDING CODEBUILDING CODESBUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCYBUILDING ENERGY USECARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON INTENSITYCEMENTCEMENT INDUSTRYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOALCOAL MININGCOAL PRODUCTIONCOAL RESOURCESCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCOMMERCIAL ENERGY CONSUMPTIONCOMPETITIVE ENERGYCONSERVATION INITIATIVESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENCY GAINSEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTEFFICIENT EQUIPMENTEFFICIENT USEEFFICIENT USE OF ENERGYELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY PRICEELECTRICITY PRICINGEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY AUDITINGENERGY BALANCEENERGY BILLSENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURESENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY COSTSENERGY ECONOMICSENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY FUNDSENERGY EFFICIENCY INVESTMENTSENERGY EFFICIENCY MARKETENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURESENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMSENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDSENERGY INDUSTRYENERGY INTENSITYENERGY INVESTMENTENERGY MANAGEMENTENERGY POLICYENERGY PRICESENERGY PRICINGENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY RESEARCHENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SAVINGENERGY SAVINGSENERGY SECTORENERGY SERVICEENERGY SERVICE COMPANIESENERGY SERVICE COMPANYENERGY SUPPLYENERGY TRANSFORMATIONENERGY USEENERGY UTILIZATIONENERGY-CONSUMING INDUSTRIALENERGY-EFFICIENCYENERGY-INTENSIVE INDUSTRIESENVIRONMENT PROTECTIONEXCHANGE RATEFINANCIAL COSTSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL LOSSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SUPPORTFLUORESCENT LAMPFUELGENERATIONGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEATHEAT VALUEHEATING SYSTEMIMPROVEMENTS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCYIMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCYINCOMEKILOWATT-HOURNATURAL RESOURCESOILOIL EQUIVALENTOXYGENPERFORMANCE STANDARDSPETROLEUMPETROLEUM PRODUCTIONPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PRODUCTIONRAW COALREBATESRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGSSPACE HEATINGSULFURSULFUR DIOXIDESURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTAX EXEMPTIONSTAX INCENTIVESTAX POLICIESTHERMAL POWERTRANSACTION COSTSUTILITIESVEHICLESWASTEWorld Bank10.1596/2894
