The long-awaited specific indicators of China's “carbon intensity†were announced in advance yesterday (November 26). On the eve of the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, China has made a responsible commitment to the world: by 2020, China's GDP per unit of GDP will fall by 40% to 45% compared with 2005. The emission reduction target is much higher than the “17%†emission reduction commitment proposed by the US White House the previous day.
At the same time yesterday, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang announced at a regular press conference: The Chinese government decided that Premier Wen Jiabao will attend the 15th UNFCCC meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark from December 7th to 18th. The Conference of the Parties and the 5th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol fully reflect the Chinese government’s high regard for this issue and the political will to cooperate with the international community to address this issue.
Reduction target:
Carbon emissions per unit of GDP fell 40% to 45%
It is reported that the State Council executive meeting on the 25th decided that by 2020 China's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will fall by 40% to 45% compared with 2005. The meeting said that this is China's autonomous action according to national conditions and is a great effort made by China for the global response to climate change. This goal will also be included as a binding indicator in the medium and long-term planning of national economic and social development, and corresponding Domestic statistics, monitoring, and assessment methods.
At the United Nations Climate Change Summit in September, President Hu Jintao pledged "to achieve a 'significant decline in carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 2020' than in 2005." This time, the decision of the State Council executive meeting gave the fact that in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" formulated at the end of 2004, China has already proposed the goal of reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 20% by 2010.
“To achieve this (emission reduction), China still needs to make great efforts.†Zhou Dadi, former director of the Energy Development Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, told the Daily Economic News reporter. “In the future, there will be a lot of speed and content of economic growth. Uncertainty. The understanding of the entire economic development and the understanding of the energy structure must go to this goal."
Zhou Dadi also pointed out that for developing countries such as China, tackling climate change is not the only social goal, and it is one of many goals that needs to be considered under the premise of economic development.
Yang Ailun, Greenpeace Climate and Energy Project Manager, commented that such a move is of great significance as the historic Copenhagen climate talks are about to begin.
Compared with this decision of China, the United States made a statement on the 25th. The White House announced that it will commit to a 17% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. Yang Ailun pointed out that this is equivalent to reducing emissions by 4% to 7% on the basis of 1990 alone. "This goal is far from the requirements of the climate science for developed countries, and it is very weak."
She also believes that major developing countries such as China, Brazil and Indonesia have successively issued their own positive carbon emission reduction targets, which have created tremendous pressure on the United States. As the country that bears the greatest responsibility for global warming, the US government needs to adopt a more positive attitude to promote the success of the Copenhagen conference.
Emission reduction measures:
The development of renewable energy to promote nuclear power to achieve this emission reduction target, the State Council executive meeting also decided to vigorously develop renewable energy, and actively promote nuclear power construction and other actions, by 2020, China's non-fossil energy accounted for 15% of primary energy consumption About 8%; through afforestation and strengthening forest management, the forest area increased by 40 million hectares compared with 2005, and the forest stock volume increased by 1.3 billion cubic meters compared with 2005.
The meeting called for climate change to be a major strategy for national economic and social development. Specifically, it will strengthen investment in research and development and industrialization of low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies such as energy conservation, energy efficiency improvement, clean coal, renewable energy, advanced nuclear energy, carbon capture and utilization, and storage, and accelerate the construction of industries characterized by low carbon. Construction and transportation systems. Formulate supporting laws and regulations and standards, improve fiscal, taxation, price, financial and other policy measures, improve the management system and supervise the implementation mechanism. Strengthen international cooperation, effectively introduce, digest and absorb foreign advanced low-carbon and climate-friendly technologies to improve China's ability to cope with climate change. Enhance the awareness of the whole society to address climate change and accelerate the formation of a low-carbon green lifestyle and consumption patterns.
Brass fasteners are used for their physical and aesthetic properties. Brass is utilized due to its high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistant properties, it is suitable for use in hot and cold environments, and resistant to water corrosion, making it a staple of industries such as heating and plumbing. Brass fasteners are largely non-magnetic (like any fastener, slight magnetic properties can develop during the manufacturing process) and resistant to tarnishing.
Brass fasteners are suited for some marine environments, including brackish water and slow current sea water; brass in this environment develops a protective green coating. Brass fasteners are also commonly used with wood applications, as the golden coloring blends well with the tan wood. Brass is a softer metal and must be used with care, always drilling pilot holes and using driver bits that fit the head of the screw precisely to prevent stripping. Brass Bolts also require a pilot hole be driven before installtion.
