Ningbo strives to be a low-carbon city

It is learned from the promotion meeting for the construction of low-carbon city pilot that Ningbo will take strides on the way to become a low-carbon city. 
Since the beginning of the 12th Five-Year Plan period, Ningbo has made great progress in energy conservation in all fields. In terms of energy structure, the exploitation and utilization of natural gas, a kind of clean energy, continues to accelerate, with the annual consumption of 1.66 billion cubic meters. Besides the promotion of “coal to gas” or “oil to gas” in such fields as power generation and transportation, the natural gas is entering the homes of residential customers, the number of which has reached 600,000 so far. In addition, the use of solar energy, wind energy and biomass energy has also become the major trend in Ningbo. With regard to such aspects as key sectors of energy conservation and recycling economy, Ningbo has also been making progress in “green” development.
After becoming a low-carbon city pilot, Ningbo has conducted a series of fundamental work, including the establishment of a working system and the researches on basic subjects. To strengthen the capacity for low-carbon development, in addition to the propulsion mechanism, Ningbo will carry out the preparation work for greenhouse gas emission inventory and establish the managing system for data and information enquiry. The overall planning for low-carbon development in Ningbo will be developed as well as the special planning for such key fields as industries, energy, transportation and construction. Researches on key soft subjects will be carried out. To promote the work in key fields, Ningbo will strive to complete the research on the “market-oriented financial service innovation in low-carbon energy conservation industry”. It will also endeavor to apply for the comprehensive pilot city for national power demand management, in order to give full play to the city’s potential and benefits in optimizing power resource allocation.
