简报文件 5——能源效率

The document analyzes energy efficiency as a 'first fuel' for decarbonization, detailing the historical decline in energy intensity for both the US and China. It outlines specific national targets, such as China's goal to reduce energy intensity by 13.5% by 2025 and the US goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, it reviews the history of US-China bilateral cooperation, including the Energy Efficiency Action Plan and the US-China Clean Energy Research Center, noting a recent agreement in November 2023 to restart the US-China Energy Efficiency Forum.

• The United States has seen a steady decline in energy intensity since 1950, with the average annual rate of decline increasing from 1.6% (1950-2022) to 2% (1970-2022), reaching approximately half of 1985 levels by 2022.
• China experienced significant energy efficiency improvements of nearly 5% annually between 1980 and 2000, followed by a reversal from 2000 to 2005 where energy intensity grew by 2.2% annually due to WTO accession and industrial expansion. Efficiency improved by 4% annually from 2005 to 2015, but the growth rate slowed to 2% annually between 2015 and 2023.
• US-China energy efficiency cooperation was formalized under the 2008 Ten-Year Framework, leading to the Energy Efficiency Action Plan and the US-China Energy Efficiency Forum (held annually from 2010 to 2017). In November 2023, both nations agreed to restart the forum to exchange policies on energy saving and carbon reduction in industry, buildings, transport, and equipment manufacturing.
