carbon emissions in China's cities is generally high
the 'Asian' green city index of 22 major Asian cities from eight aspects to evaluate the environmental performance, energy supply and carbon dioxide emissions, land use and building, transportation, waste, water, health, air quality and environmental management, and subdivision of the eight aspects into 29 single index score. This is the 'European green city index' in 2009, and 2010 'green city index in Latin America' global green index released the third region.
the research results show that the city of China's energy supply still strong reliance on coal, the amount of renewable energy to generate power is small. However, Siemens chief sustainability officer, Barbara kux, points out that the use of renewable energy power generation in China has been made into the exhibition: guangzhou in the aspect of natural gas, hydropower and nuclear power on a large amount of investment; Beijing will be 15200 coal-fired boilers into gas-fired boiler; Nanjing already has plans to use the solar energy technology building subsidies.
multiple demonstration projects were presented in addition, in some areas, the five participate in the research of Chinese cities has set an example for the urban sustainable development, Beijing, guangzhou and Shanghai have some demonstration projects at a conference in Singapore yesterday showed representatives from several Asian countries. Such as on the land use and building, guangzhou pearl river tower is one of the world's largest zero-emission building, building use of air conditioning system is smaller than the same size of the traditional building air conditioning system by 80%, the design of the building arc force wind to pass through the wind turbines in the location of the building, can meet the power demand of the building by 4%. The development model can also for other domestic areas and other developing countries for reference. In addition, the LED street light, Beijing made the air quality standards, to strengthen the monitoring of air quality, and to remind citizens to guard against air pollution has made positive efforts in potential threats. Shanghai in 2005 and 2007 shut down more than 1500 types of heavily polluting enterprises, and introduced stricter than Europe's motor vehicle emission standards. These examples are become the demonstration project. Key
China's future is Asia's big cities have a lot of work to do in the field of renewable energy, the research results show that the average 22 cities of renewable energy power generation accounts for 11% of the total generating capacity, by contrast, due to the higher percentage of Latin America hydropower station, average output of renewable energy accounted for 64% of total generating capacity.
and Siemens China President and chief executive of mei wei cheng is pointed out that China is facing great pressure of the demand for sustainable development: the next few decades, China's cities and the economy will be rapid development, and resource utilization and environmental quality problem has aroused people's attention. But on the other hand, Chinese governments at all levels has to address the challenges of the future as a sustainable development priority, it fully reflects in the survey.
