Policies of Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction for the Thermal Power Enterprises in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermal power enterprises are not only a major energy consumer, but also a significant emission source of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Due to the imbalance between costs and benefits, thermal power enterprises in China are not very active in energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, it is imperative to establish a market mechanism and enact more incentive policies related to energy conservation and emission reduction for the thermal power enterprises. The paper summarizes the policies for energy conservation and emission reduction in the thermal power enterprises. Also, based on a few leading indicators, the paper analyzes the progress that China has made during the 11th Five-Year-Plan period. Finally, some suggestions for future work are provided.
