1.能源转型是必由之路
1. Energy Transition Is the Only Way Forward
能源的开发利用，是人与自然互动的重要方面。纵观人类社会发展史，人类文明的每一次重大进步，往往伴随着能源开发利用方式的变革、主体能源的更替。
The development and utilization of energy is an important aspect of the interaction between humanity and nature. When reviewing the history of human development, we see that every significant human progress is fundamentally tied to changes in energy extraction and utilization and shifts in primary energy sources.
经过长期发展，中国建立了煤、油、气、核、水、风、光等全面发展的能源供给体系，为经济社会持续快速发展提供澎湃动力。当前，中国开启全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程，对能源高质量发展提出新要求。中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，但人均用能水平不高，工业化、城镇化尚未完成，未来一段时间能源需求仍将增长；产业结构偏重、能源结构偏煤，资源环境约束长期存在。应对这些困难挑战，根本要靠能源转型。
Over the years, China has established a comprehensive energy supply system encompassing coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, and photovoltaic (PV) energy, providing robust impetus for the fast and sustained development of the economy and society.
China’s drive towards all-round socialist modernization has brought about new requirements for high-quality energy development. Despite being the world’s largest developing country, China has comparatively low per-capita energy consumption. As the country has not yet completed its industrialization and urbanization, however, its energy demand is likely to continue growing. With an industrial structure dominated by heavy industry and an energy mix primarily based on coal, China will continue to face resource and environmental constraints in the long run. Energy transition is the fundamental solution to the above challenges.
中国的能源转型，注重加快转变能源发展方式、转换能源发展动力，推动主体能源从化石能源向非化石能源更替，这是破解资源环境约束、实现碳达峰碳中和目标的迫切需要；是抢抓新一轮科技和产业变革机遇，加快培育新质生产力的迫切需要；是推动形成绿色生产方式和生活方式，实现经济社会高质量发展的迫切需要；是主动担当大国责任、推动构建人类命运共同体的迫切需要。中国推进能源转型，不是别人让我们做，而是我们自己要做；也不是能不能做，而是必须做。
China’s energy transition focuses on transforming the model and drivers of energy development by achieving the substitution of primary energy sources from fossil fuels to non-fossil fuels. This transition is essential for the country to overcome resource and environmental constraints and achieve its peak carbon and carbon neutrality goals. It is vital for the country to seize the opportunities brought about by the latest round of revolutionary changes in science, technology and industry and foster new quality productive forces. It is crucial for the country to establish green ways of production and life and realize high-quality economic and social development. It is key for the country to fulfill its responsibility as a major country and contribute to a global community of shared future. For these reasons, China has taken proactive actions to advance its energy transition and will stay committed to this initiative as an imperative for a better future.

2.厚植能源绿色消费的底色
II. Promoting Green Energy Consumption
绿色是生态文明的底色。中国牢固树立和践行绿水青山就是金山银山的理念，从人与自然和谐共生的高度谋划发展方式转型，着力转变对能源资源的路径依赖，推动经济社会发展全面绿色转型。
Green development is a defining feature of an eco-civilization. China firmly believes that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and acts accordingly. It therefore plans to transition its development model to one that achieves harmony between humanity and nature as a major focus. China is moving away from the traditional path of heavy dependence on energy and resources, as the country looks to promote a green transformation in every aspect of its economic and social development.
1.强化节能降碳制度约束
1.Strengthening Institutional Constraints for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction
始终坚持节能优先方针，抑制不合理能源消费，在转变资源利用方式、提高资源利用效率上下功夫。
Staying committed to prioritizing energy conservation and reining in irrational energy use, China focuses its efforts on changing the way resources are used and improving its resource efficiency.
用好能耗双控指挥棒。实施能耗双控是中国加快生态文明建设、推动高质量发展的重要制度性安排。中国适应经济社会发展新形势，将能耗强度下降作为约束性指标，并推动向碳排放双控转变。十年来，中国通过产业结构调整和优化升级，大力发展节能降碳技术和产业，全面提高能源效率，能耗强度持续下降，累计节约能源消费约14亿吨标准煤，减少二氧化碳排放约30亿吨。
Maximizing the policy of dual control over energy use. Controlling both the volume and intensity of energy use is a crucial institutional measure in accelerating eco-environmental progress and pursuing high-quality development. To keep up with the dynamics in its economic and social development, China has set a binding target of lowering energy intensity and has shifted its focus from controlling the volume and intensity of energy use to controlling the volume and intensity of carbon emissions. Over the past decade, through industrial restructuring and upgrading, China has introduced energy-saving and carbon reduction technologies and industries, and raised its energy efficiency across the board. As a result of these efforts, the country’s energy intensity has decreased steadily, leading to energy savings equivalent to about 1.4 billion tonnes of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 3 billion tonnes.
构建立体化节能管理体系。深入实施《中华人民共和国节约能源法》《中华人民共和国循环经济促进法》等法律法规，建立完善固定资产投资项目节能审查、节能监察等制度体系，明确重点行业、重点企业节能管理要求，加强重点用能单位节能管理，实施能效“领跑者”制度，提升各主体节能提效内生动力。发挥税收、金融等政策杠杆作用，引导全社会加大节能提效投入力度。
Building a multidimensional energy conservation management system. China fully enforces relevant laws and regulations such as the Energy Conservation Law and the Circular Economy Promotion Law. It works to establish and improve related institutional systems, including energy-saving reviews and supervision over fixed assets investment projects. Clear requirements for energy conservation management of key industries and enterprises have been set, and the energy-saving management of major energy consumers has been strengthened. China has also adopted an energy efficiency pacesetter system to incentivize various entities to conserve energy and raise efficiency. It has leveraged the role of taxation, financial and other policies to steer the entire society towards higher investment into energy conservation and efficiency improvements.
创新市场化节能方式。强化能效标准标识管理制度，不断推动节能领域标准制修订，以标准引领各环节各领域节能提效。截至2023年底，共计发布能耗限额、产品能效等国家标准335项，能效标识覆盖5大用能领域44类用能产品。积极推进合同能源管理等市场化机制，推广节能咨询、诊断、设计、融资、改造、托管等“一站式”综合服务模式，2023年节能服务产业总产值超过5000亿元，比2013年翻了一番。
Promoting market-based approaches to energy conservation. China has improved its management of energy efficiency standards and labels, and made consistent efforts to formulate and revise standards on energy conservation, using such standards to guide players in various sectors to conserve energy and raise energy efficiency. By the end of 2023, it had released 335 national standards on energy consumption limits and the energy efficiency of products. The energy efficiency labeling system covers 44 categories of energy-using products across five major energy-consuming sectors. Additionally, China has actively applied market-oriented mechanisms such as energy performance contracting, and promoted “one-stop” comprehensive services, including energy conservation consultancy, diagnosis, engineering, financing, transformation and outsourcing. In 2023, the total output value of the energy conservation service industry exceeded RMB500 billion, doubling that of 2013.
2.推动重点领域节能提效
2. Improving Energy Conservation and Efficiency in Key Sectors
节能提效要啃“硬骨头”。工业、建筑、交通运输、公共机构等作为全社会能源消耗的主体，是节能提效工作的“基本盘”。通过全面实施节能标准、推广先进能效产品、淘汰落后产能，重点领域能效水平持续提升。
To conserve energy and increase energy efficiency, China must focus on key sectors such as industry, construction, transport, and public institutions. These sectors are major energy consumers and will therefore be fundamental in improving energy conservation and efficiency. By fully applying energy conservation standards, promoting advanced energy-efficient products, and phasing out outdated production capacity, energy efficiency is continuing to rise in these key sectors.
深挖工业领域节能潜力。工业企业是节能提效的重中之重，持续推动工业领域淘汰落后产能和节能技术改造，积极推动生产工艺革新、流程再造和数字化智能化升级，组织重点企业提升用能精细化管理水平。十年来，规模以上工业单位增加值能耗累计下降超过36%，钢铁、电解铝、水泥、玻璃等单位产品综合能耗平均降幅达9%以上。
Tapping into the potential of industry in conserving energy. Since the industrial sector plays a pivotal role in conserving energy and raising energy efficiency, China has made lasting efforts to replace outdated production capacity and drive energy-saving technological transformation. It has promoted innovation in production techniques, process reengineering, and digital and intelligent upgrading, and provided guidance for key enterprises to refine their energy management practices. Over the past decade, the energy consumption per unit of added value of industrial enterprises of designated size – with an annual revenue of RMB20 million and above – has dropped by more than 36 percent. Comprehensive energy consumption per unit of product in the steel, electrolytic aluminum, cement, glass, and other industries has lowered by more than 9 percent on average.
推广绿色节能建筑。中国正处于全球规模最大的城镇化进程中，为避免形成高碳锁定效应，中国强化新建建筑节能标准要求，稳步推进既有建筑节能改造，加快发展超低能耗、近零能耗建筑。截至2023年底，累计建成节能建筑面积达326.8亿平方米，节能建筑占城镇既有建筑面积比例超过64%，较2013年提升了近30个百分点，累计建成超低能耗、近零能耗建筑超过4370万平方米。
Promoting green, energy-efficient buildings. China is currently undergoing the world’s largest urbanization process. To avoid carbon lock-in, the country has implemented higher energy-efficiency standards for new buildings and is steadily advancing the energy-saving retrofit of existing buildings. China is also accelerating the development of buildings with ultralow or near-zero energy consumption. By the end of 2023, the floorage of energy-efficient buildings had surpassed 32.68 billion square meters, accounting for more than 64 percent of the total floor space of urban buildings, up nearly 30 percentage points from 2013. The floorage of buildings with ultralow or near-zero energy consumption has now surpassed 43.7 million square meters.
全方位构建清洁高效的交通运输体系。随着经济社会发展，物流、出行需求不断增加，交通用能还将持续增长。中国加快发展多式联运，提高铁路、水路在综合运输中的承运比重。深入推进城市公共交通优先发展，构建完善绿色出行服务体系，在城市客运领域推广应用新能源车辆。机动车排放标准与世界先进水平接轨，基本淘汰国三及以下排放标准汽车。运输能耗强度不断下降，2023年铁路单位运输工作量综合能耗较2013年下降约19%。大力发展充电基础设施网络，完善加氢、加气站点布局及服务设施。截至2023年底，累计建成充电基础设施近860万台，加氢站超过450座。
Developing a clean and efficient transport system in an all-round way. As logistic and travel needs continue to grow with economic and social development, energy consumption in the transport sector will also increase. China is accelerating the development of multimodal transport, and increasing the share of railways and waterways within its integrated transport system. The country has continued to prioritize the development of urban public transport, optimize its green transport service systems, and promote new energy vehicles in urban passenger transport.
