4. Sustainable Urbanization Initiatives in China
• Low-carbon Pilot Provinces and Cities
n Notifications released by NDRC August 2010 and December 2012
n 6 provinces and 36 cities, covering almost all China
n Piloting tasks:
Ø compiling of low-carbon development plans (integrated into local
12th FYP),
Ø making relevant green development policies
Ø accelerating establishment of industry system featuring low carbon
emissions
Ø establishing statistical and managing mechanism of GHGs
Ø advocating of green lifestyles and consumption

5. Major Pilot Cities

6. Low Carbon City Development Initiatives in China
• Pilot Carbon Trading Scheme in China
n Announced in October, 2011, seven provinces and
cities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing,
Shenzhen, and the provinces of Guangdong, and
Hubei) were selected by NDRC for the carbon
emission trade pilot
n NDRC clearly stated that the selected regions shall
speed up the development of the pilot plan,
professional team and road map
n The trading systems will initially be prepared by the
local pilot organizations and submitted to the NDRC for
approval

7. Sustainable Urbanization Initiatives in China
• Pilot Low-carbon Transport System
n Initiated by Ministry of Transportation in February 2011
n 10 cities: Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen,
Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang, Baoding, Wuhan and Wuxi
n Piloting tasks:
Ø Establishing low carbon transport infrastructure
Ø Application and dissemination of low carbon equipment
Ø Optimizing transport organization mode and operation
approach
Ø Constructing smart traffic engineering
Ø Perfecting transport related public information service
Ø Establishing and perfecting transport carbon emission
management system

8. Sustainable Urbanization Initiatives in China
• Comprehensive Demonstration on Financial Policies of
Energy-saving and Pollution Reduction
n Initiated by NDRC and Ministry of Finance in June 2011
n 8 pilot cities: Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Hangzhou,
Changsha, Guiyang, Jilin and Xinyu (in Jiangxi Province)
n Piloting tasks focus on:
Ø industrial de-carbonization to increase efforts to adjust
industrial structure
Ø clean transport to transform urban transport system
Ø promote energy-saving in building sectors
Ø intensification to speed up service industry
Ø main pollutants reduction to improve urban environmental
quality
Ø enlarging scale of renewable energy to optimize urban energy
consumption mix

9. Next Steps
Five major tasks:
1. Develop low carbon development roadmap 2030-2050
2. Further improve the policy system for pilot provinces and
cities, covering industry, finance and taxation, investment,
technology, consumption, tec.
3. Establish specifications and standards for construction of low
carbon cities, zones, communities and business.
4. Establish national carbon market in 2016. The market will cap
carbon dioxide emissions from sources such as electricity
generators and manufacturers. Those that emit above their
cap must buy permits in the market. When fully functional, it
would dwarf the European emissions trading system, which
is currently the world's biggest.
5. Enhance capacity building, establish MRV system, including
inventory, accounting, and reporting, etc.

12. In industrial construction, investment in
plant engineering projects accounts for
more than 50% of new construction
projects, and 70% of technology innovation
projects. All these projects are of high
technical level and high quality demand.
Moreover, industrial projects impose much
greater influence on economic,
environmental, social and ecological
sectors.
Why Plant Engineering Projects

13. • 1. Scientific based on existing research on SD, and featured on specialty and
precision of plant engineering projects.
• 2. Comprehensive life-cycle analysis, including all important factors
influencing sustainability
• 3. Operational both qualitative and quantitative indicators are operational
• 4. Dynamic dynamic adjustment on the established indicators and standards
with development of projects and change of new knowledge
• 5. Integrative integration of users, investors environment impact, present and
long-term economic efficient
• 6. Harmonious harmonized with international standards, providing dialogue
platform for multinational cooperation

14. In establishment of assessment system for
sustainability of plant engineering projects, apart from
considering social, economic and environment
factors, such indicators as technology, management,
processing and manufacturing, production and
operation should also be considered, due to the
special features of strong professionalism, high unit
price, highly systematic, high precision demand, etc.
Two stages pre-project assessment and post-
project assessment
Establishment

15. It is mainly used in the planning stage of a
plant engineering project, providing reference
for investment decision.
Divided into two levels, subject level and indicator
level 5 subjects including economic, social ,
environment, technology and management. Several
indicators are selected to support each subject, 18
indicators in total.
Pre-project Assessment

16. It is mainly used in the planning stage of a
plant engineering project, providing reference
