        newly increased geothermal power installed capacity 500 MW;

         
        Reaching the cumulative number of:

        By 2020, total geothermal heating (cooling) area is expected to reach 1.6 billion square meters, and geothermal power generation installed capacity to reach about 530MW.
        By 2020, the annual utilization volume of geothermal energy should reach to 70 million tons of standard coal, and annual utilization volume of geothermal heating should reach to 40 million tons of standard coal.
        Annual geothermal energy utilization in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region should reach about 20 million tons of standard coal.

        …building area shall decrease by 11% and 10% respectively. Energy and resource conservation activities are mostly focused on the following three areas:
         

        Green actions



        green building operations
        green office operations
        green travel actions
        green canteen operations
        green information actions
        green cultural actions


        2. Implementation of energy-saving projects


        upgrading of coal-fired boilers
        applications of renewable energy
        land-saving and water-saving projects
        projects to improve data and statistics of energy savings
        pilot demonstration projects
        projects to improve management capacity


        3. Improve safeguard measures


        strengthen organisational leadership
        improve institutional standards
        strengthen supervision and assessment
        implement fund guarantee
        strengthen technical support

        India-Brazil-South Africa Declaration on Clean Energy

        …India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) summit was held in October 2007. At this summit, the three countries reached agreement to work together in the promotion of nuclear energy, clean energy technologies and other renewable energies and in the endorsement of climate change mitigation. In a presidential declaration, the countries noted agreement to pool resources to ensure a secure supply of safe, sustainable and non-polluting energy to meet global demand, particularly in developing countries. The declaration indicated that cooperation would include clean coal technologies and renewable energies such as biomass and innovative ways to transfer, develop and commercialise clean energy.

        Medium and Long-term Plan of Energy Conservation: 10 Energy Conservation Programmes

        Launched in 2004, the Medium and Long-term Plan of Energy Conservation covers the 2005-10 and the 2010-20 period. It details energy conservation aims and implementation plans to be undertaken during the 11th five year period (2006-10) and beyond. The Plan puts forward ten key energy conservation programmes.These include programmes to upgrade coal-burning kilns and electric motor systems, improve district co-generation, and undertake fuel switching and conservation activities (see separate entries). The other six programmes are:Residual heat and pressure useIron and steel enterprises are to apply coke dry quenching and recover waste energy…

        …2020, the green buildings will account for at least 50% of new buildings in the urban region. The heat market will undertake a transition to a consumption-based billing system in an accelerated pace.3. Industry: The expansion of high-pollution and high energy-intensive industries is heavily restricted, alongside the phase-out of obsolete technologies and excess capacity. The focus is on coal-red industrial boiler (kiln) retro; district cogeneration and waste heat and pressure utilisation.4. Transport: the focus is on development of electric car industry and energy efficient transportation, including subway trains and high speed railway system.
