China has established guidlines for 10 work focuses on energy saving and emission reduction for the 12th Five-Yeas Plan (2011-2015) period, China Securities Journal reported on Tuesday.
These work focuses include strengthening energy saving and emission reduction, reducing carbon intensity and so on, by means of promoting stepped-pricing for household water and electricity consumption; different electricity price for industry and daily use; providing more loans to energy-saving projects; launching standards for energy saving and environmental protection companies and enlarging the scopes of the low-carbon pilots.
The report said the National Leading Group to Address Climate Change, Energy Saving and Emission Reduction under the State Council, has reviewed and approved the draft in principle.
