China has included two more sectors- ferroalloy and coke - into its energy saving and emission reduction program in 2009. Under the new plan, the country will remove six million tons of coke, 700,000 tons of ferroalloy, 15 million kilowatts of coal-fired electricity, 10 million tons of pig iron, six million tons of steel, 50 million tons of cement and 500,000 tons of papermaking capacity this year. During the first three years of the 11th Five-year Plan (2016-10), the country’s energy consumption of the unit GDP reduced by 10.1 percent; sulfur dioxide and Chemical Oxygen Demand emissions dropped by 8.95 percent and 6.61 percent respectively, all lagging behind the first planned schedule. 20 more gas desulfurization units should be added to sintering machines in steel manufacturing in 2009.
