According to a meeting on the construction of a low-carbon city, Ningbo will take a great step to be a low-carbon city.
Ningbo has laid a solid foundation in the construction of a low-carbon city. In the 12th five-year plan period, Ningbo has made notable results in energy saving in many fields. It has constantly sped up the development and utilization of national gas, and the annual consumption reaching 1.66 billion cubic meters. In addition to the projects of “replacement of coal by gas” and “replacement of diesel by gas” in the fields of power generation and traffic, national gas is more and more popular in household, with about 600,000 users. Solar energy, wind energy and biologic energy are widely used. Ningbo has made steady progress in energy saving in key industries and circular economy. It has eliminated backward production facilities in 974 enterprises and carried out 1,844 technological renovate projects, saving standard coal as much as 2.8 million tons.
After Ningbo was listed as a pilot low-carbon city, Ningbo has substantially pushed forward a series of groundwork like the establishment of the working mechanism and essential studies. Following the working mechanism, Ningbo will strengthen the low-carbon development capacity, draw up the list of greenhouse gas emission, and set up a data query and management system. It will start to make a general plan for the low-carbon development and a special plan for the fields of energy, traffic and architecture. It will carry out the soft projects, completing the project of “banking service innovation and low-carbon energy marketization”. It will try to be appointed as a national pilot city of power demand side management so as to give play to the potential and efficiency of the optimized power resource distribution.
