At the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, it was proposed to implement dual control of energy consumption. And the intensity of energy consumption and "double control" action, is promoting the construction of ecological civilization, solve resource constraints tightening of serious environmental pollution, an important measure, which can save energy resources, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the source, can also be reversed transmission transformation economic development way, improve the level of economic development in our country green.

Continuous improvement of energy efficiency will help reduce the dependence of economic and social development on energy and carbon emission growth. Reasonable control of total energy consumption is conducive to the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
