13th Five-Year comprehensive energy-saving and emission reduction work plan.

This Plan is a cross-sectoral policy document at national level for the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020). The Plan aims to promote energy efficiency and improve the quality of the ecological environment, and emphasizes the supply side reform and innovation. The Plan sets up the main objectives and targets for energy conservation and emission reduction. By 2020, The national energy consumption per 10,000 RMB yuan of GDP will be 15% lower than that of 2015, and the total energy consumption will be controlled within 5 billion tons of standard coal. National chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide emissions will be controlled within 20.01 million tons, 2.07 million tons, 15.80 million tons, 15.74 million tons respectively, and decrease respectively by 10%, 10%, 15% 15% compared to that of 2015.The Plan indicates the actions in particular for structural reform, industrial upgrading, pollution emission reduction in industries, agriculture and other fields, circular economy development, energy-saving service and emission reduction service system development, financial supports improvement, etc. The Plan seeks to promote energy saving in agriculture and rural areas, and the actions include: accelerating the elimination of old agricultural machinery and promoting agricultural energy-saving machinery, equipment and fishing boats; Developing energy-saving agricultural greenhouses; Promoting the construction of energy-saving and green rural houses; improving the cleanliness of rural energy use; encouraging the use of biomass renewable energy sources and popularize liquefied petroleum gas. Strengthening emission reduction of major pollutants is one of priorities of the actions. The Plan requests to take actions on the control and prevent agricultural pollution and discharge, including: promoting the collection and disposal and utilization of feces in livestock and poultry farms; building organic waste disposal facilities; carrying out the recycling of agricultural film, by 2020, the recovery rate of agricultural film will reach over 80%; promoting the application of soil testing and fertilizer technology, the application of organic manure; carrying out the green control and prevention of crop pests and diseases, promoting the use of high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue pesticides. By 2020, and there will be zero growth in the use of fertilizers and pesticides for major crops; establishing a post evaluation system for the environmental impact of pesticide use and promoting the recycling of pesticide packaging waste; etc.
