24. Build Baseline Economic census of 2008 conducted in 2009. Revised GDP and energy data. GHG inventory of 2005 is under development.

25. General Published Data Source Statistical Communiqué: Published by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in February of Year X+1, using statistical data of January to November Year X and the growth rate of December Year X-1 to estimate GDP and energy of Year X. Yearbook: Published by NBS in autumn of Year X+1 to present GDP and energy of Year X. National Economic Census: Leading by State Council and NBS. Published in January of Year X+1. Conducted in Year X to investigate data of Year X-1. Once in every 4 years.

26. GDP Data Communiqué 2008 estimated GDP of 2008 was 30.067 trillion RMB. Yearbook 2009 adopted the same number (30.067 trillion RMB). GDP of 2008 was adjusted to 31.4045 trillion RMB after census, increased 4.45%. Communiqué 2009 estimated GDP of 2009 was 33.5353 trillion RMB.

27. GDP Adjustment – Big difference in service sector

28. Regular statistical system (Yearbook) collects value-added data mainly from designated size of organizations Designated size of organization: Mining, Manufacture, Elec. Gas, Water: All state-owned and non-state-owned enterprises with annual revenue from principle business ≥5 million RMB Construction: various types of ownership with qualification certification and independent accounting systems Wholesale: Sales ≥20 million RMB; Employer (year-end)>20 Retail: Sales ≥5 million RMB; Employer (year-end)>60 Hotel: rating stars Catering: Sales ≥2 million RMB; Employer (year-end)>40 Other sectors: spot check

29. Census collects value-added data from all organizations

30. Only collect gross output value from industrial enterprises by year Following former Soviet system, industrial enterprise accounting didn’t use the concept of value-add before 2009. The concept of value-add in constant price is even more difficult than for industrial enterprises. All value-add data for agriculture and industrial sectors are estimated by national and local statistical bureaus.

31. Key Energy Data Points Statistical Communiqué on the 2008 National Economic and Social Development (issued on February 26th 2009) estimated total energy consumption of 2008 was 2.85 billion tce (coal equivalent calculation). China Statistical Yearbook 2009 (published in September 2009) adopted the same number(2.85 billion tce). Total energy consumption of 2008 was adjusted to 2.91 billion tce after census, increased 2.12%. Statistical Communiqué on the 2009 National Economic and Social Development (issued on February 25th 2010) estimated total energy consumption of 2009 was 3.10 billion tce.

32. Energy Yearbook 2009 revised energy consumption data from 2005 to 2007 based on the results of the 2nd national economic census in 2009 Primary Energy Consumption (10ktce, calorific value calculation )

33. Differences mainly in coal from 2nd censusSource: Energy Statistical Yearbook 2008, 2009

34. Energy Efficiency Improvement EI decreased 8.13% from 2005 to 2008.

35. Energy Efficiency Improvement EI decreased 12.38% from 2005 to 2008; decreased 15.6% from 2005 to 2009

36. Energy Efficiency Improvement • Total energy consumption coal equivalent calculation based is not transparent since the data of coal consumption per kWh generated changed year by year and not be published formally. • Prefer to use coal-based number since it shows a bigger share of clean energy while 15% target was set by 2020. • May be change to use calorific-based number since it shows a big improvement on EI.

37. Part B: China LEAP Modeling Efforts

38. Basic Assumptions Base year: 2000 ->2005 Target year: 2030 Dataset: AES2007 Draft LEAP2008 Three scenarios: BAU (considering regional cooperation), Maximum Nuclear Path(MaNS), Minimum Nuclear Path(MiNS) Data source

39. Per capita GDP • China’s per capita GDP is expected to be quadrupled by the year 2020 as against 2000 in the report of 17th NCCPC on October 2007. 2000 yr: 7078 RMB (856 US$) 2020 yr: 28000 RMB (3500US$, not considering rate fluctuation) 2006 yr: 2024 US$ • This goal is much higher than the target set by the CPC five years ago at the 16th National Congress which was to quadruple the GDP value, without the mention of per capita by 2020. • But the rapid growth will be under the condition of reduced consumption of resources and greater efforts in environmental protection.

40. Per capita house area and urbanization Industrialization and urbanization have speeded economic development. Per capita income will increase and people living level will be improved. Although there is a big income gap between urban and rural residents, per capita house area is expected to be similar by 2050.

42. Population and GDP assumptions The BAU scenario reflects a 20-year economic development path that yields average annual GDP growth rates of 8.38% between 2010 and 2020 and 7.11% between 2020 and 2030. China’s population forecast in the model, adopting national population plans and projections, shows the peak of total population arriving between 2030 and 2040, at 1.47 billion people, with continued and pronounced movement of population from rural to urban area.

43. Nuclear power scenarios changes AES2006 AES2007 AES2010

44. Industry assumptions Based on China’s government policy, growth in the most energy-intensive industrial sectors will be controlled and mainly used to fulfill domestic needs, and energy efficiency measures will be implemented in those sectors to enhance energy savings. In the steel, cement, and pulp and paper sectors, for example, physical output is projected to rise through 2020, but then fall slightly (steel), remain unchanged (cement), or rise only slightly (pulp and paper) through 2030. At the same time, the energy intensities per unit physical product in these industries is projected, in the BAU path, to fall by 1.0 to 1.8% annually, varying by industry and time period (China Low Carbon Scenario, 2009).

50. Conclusions China has experienced rapid growth in energy consumption in the recent years. Large amounts of investment have been provided for the power industry and for oil stockpile facility construction to secure energy supplies to support rapid economic growth. To realize China’s sustainable development, the national energy development strategy includes an energy conservation priority policy, and at the same time is vigorously developing renewable energy and new energy in China. A cleaner energy system and energy development strategy are needed, and should be established through government involvement leading to changes in all production processes and lifestyles through the applications of laws, regulations and fiscal policies. Vehicle emission problems in particular require special attention, especially those associated with increases in freight and passenger transport energy consumption.
