## LBNL’s Industrial Energy Efficiency Activities in China

**Technical support for:**
**Energy Efficiency Agreements Pilot Project in Shandong Province (Energy Foundation)**
**Top-1000 Energy-Consuming Enterprises Program (Energy Foundation)**
**China Motor Systems Energy Conservation Program (United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the US Department of Energy, and the Energy Foundation*****)***
**Cement Kiln Combustion Efficiency Improvement (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)**
**Development of Energy Efficiency Indicators (International Energy Agency, World Bank)**
**BEST-Cement for China (Energy Foundation, US Environmental Protection Agency, Dow Chemical)**
**Development of a New Clean Development Mechanism Methodology for Cement (Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry**
**U.S. – China Cooperation on Industrial Energy Efficiency (U.S. Department of Energy**

## Energy Efficiency Agreements Pilot Project in Shandong Province

- 1999: Industrial energy efficiency policy project launched
- 2000: Chinese experts from former ministries, Tsinghua University, Energy Research Institute and Beijing Energy Efficiency Center convened to evaluate international experience

- 2000: International workshops
- 2001/2002: China’s government launched policy pilot using energy efficiency agreements with 2 steel mills in Shandong Province
- Agreements signed April 24, 2003

## Energy Efficiency Agreements Pilot Project in Shandong Province

- Shandong Province Economic and Trade Commission committed to provide:
- Assistance in obtaining loans for energy-efficient technologies
- Services of government-backed technical experts free of charge to the enterprises
- Positive media publicity
- Both steel mills:
- Met targets for energy savings and CO2 emissions reductions
- Implemented strong energy management programs
- Established monitoring and reporting protocols
- Enjoyed extensive positive publicity: television, newspapers, magazines
- Pilot considered a success and a model for national program

- Steel mills committed to:
- energy intensity targets by 2005
- Implement energy-efficiency management practices
- Report energy use and other relevant indicators annually

## Top-1000 Energy-ConsumingEnterprise Program

- On July 27, 2006, Premier Wen Jiabao kicked off the program
- Signed energy-saving agreements with 15 of China’s largest enterprises
- Announced a new National Energy Conservation Center

- Launched by China’s central government in April 2006 in support of the 2010 energy/GDP reduction target
- Goal is to improve industrial energy efficiency by targeting China’s 1000 highest energy-consuming enterprises

- Energy-saving agreements were signed with remaining enterprises during the summer of 2006

## Top-1000 Enterprises Represent a Significant Share of China’s Energy Use

***30% of total energy ***
***consumption***
***48% of industrial ***
***energy consumption***

## Top-1000 Energy-Consuming Enterprise Program

- Top-1000 enterprises are from nine sectors:
- Iron and steel
- Petroleum and petrochemicals
- Chemicals
- Electric power
- Non-ferrous metals
- Coal mining
- Construction materials
- Textiles
- Paper
- Estimated 2004 final energy use was 673 Mtce (18.7 Quads)
- Energy reduction goal for these enterprises after five years is 100 Mtce (2.8 Quads)

## LBNL Activities Related to the Top-1000 Energy-Consuming Enterprises Program

- Policy-related support for Top-1000 program
- Evaluating incentive policies
- Providing guidance on international best practices related to key program elements (auditing, benchmarking, monitoring, etc.)
- Organized an international workshop on energy efficiency policies and programs for industry (April 2007)
- Technical assistance for Top-1000 program
- Developing energy efficiency guidebooks
- Establishing best practice benchmarks and developing benchmarking tools
- Constructing BEST-Cement for China
- Assisting with pilot projects focusing on specific industrial sectors in 2-3 provinces

## LBNL Activities Related to the Top-1000 Energy-Consuming Enterprises Program

- Trip of project team in September, 2007 included energy audit of 2 cement plants in Shandong province
- Trip included meeting with key government officials (NDRC), research institutes (CBMA, ERI), industry associations, our sponsors (Dow Chemical Company and the Energy Foundation
- Decision made to focus particular attention on improving energy efficiency of cement manufacturing in China
