Five Departments: Reasonably Optimize Vehicle Energy Consumption Limits, Vigorously Develop New Energy Heavy Trucks and Green-Fuel Ships

36Kr learned that five departments have issued a notice on the Action Plan for Implementing a Comprehensive Energy Conservation Strategy. It proposes focusing on key industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, petrochemicals, chemicals, and building materials, carrying out energy-saving and carbon-reduction renovations on a "one industry, one policy" basis, and continuously improving energy efficiency. It calls for actively promoting energy-saving and carbon-reduction renovation of existing buildings and fostering the large-scale development of ultra-low energy consumption buildings. It also calls for promoting energy-efficient and low-carbon transport vehicles, reasonably optimizing vehicle energy consumption limit requirements, and vigorously developing new energy heavy trucks and green-fuel ships. Efforts to tap the potential of energy-saving and carbon-reduction renovation in public institutions will be intensified, and third-party governance models such as energy performance contracting will be promoted.
