History of green lighting in China from 85 to 11th Five-Year

Since January 1991 the United States Environmental Protection Agency first proposed "green lighting (Green Lights)" concept and the implementation of the "green lighting project", has attracted much attention in many countries and response, set off the wave of green lighting, just unfolding like a raging fire in the world to. Since the "85" plan of our country began to contact with the implementation of green lighting, has been more than more than and 10 years, more and more people's attention and support. In 2002, CCTV has played a special program of "green lighting in China", and made a comprehensive exposition of the development of green lighting in china. At present the whole nation enforce energy-saving emission reduction climate, we overview of green lighting in China "glorious history", so as to enhance the understanding of green lighting, to further promote the development of green lighting in china.

"95": green lighting in China started

In 1993, the State Economic and Trade Commission began to organize the development of China's green lighting project, and in Shanghai, Guangdong, Beijing and other regions of the pilot implementation. In 1995, China Association for science and technology organization of the Chinese lighting society, the Chinese society of electrical engineering and the Chinese Academy of architecture experts on the four Beijing Matsushita Electric Company proposed China's proposal to promote green lighting project was demonstrated. In May 1996 the State Economic and Trade Commission announced the establishment of Chinese green lighting project leadership coordination group, in September issued a "China green lighting project implementation plan", held in October of the "national energy conservation week" activities, "China green lighting project started. Since 1998, China's energy conservation law, including lighting power. In 2000 the State Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of construction, State Bureau of quality and Technical Supervision jointly formulated and issued "on the" Chinese green lighting project "opinions" further, puts forward the concrete measures of green lighting project.

"Fifteen": the effectiveness of green lighting projects

September 2001, the State Economic and Trade Commission (SETC) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Global Fund (GEF) jointly organized the SETC/UNDP/GEF China green lighting project promotion project officially launched. This is the key project of our government for the global environment fund, the global environment fund for the project to provide $8 million 135 thousand in grants, Chinese government, international organizations, domestic enterprises to invest $18 million 65 thousand, the total investment of $26 million 200 thousand, the project implementation period of 4 years, to the end of 2005. China green lighting project promotion project office is responsible for the specific work of the project. At the beginning of 2002, the State Economic and Trade Commission, the State Planning Commission, Ministry of finance, Ministry of science and technology, the State Quality Inspection Administration and other departments to set up a China green lighting project coordination group, strengthen communication and coordination between departments to promote the implementation of the project.

The overall goal of the project is: (1) protect the environment by reducing the lighting electricity saving electric energy, to achieve energy-saving lighting, 2010 10%; (2) to promote and improve the overall level of domestic lighting products; (3) to enhance consumer awareness and the use of efficient lighting electrical products; (4) to build a sustained and conducive to the popularization and application of high efficiency lighting products market environment, the standard and certification. Ensuring the availability of energy efficiency in the use of lighting appliances.

According to the project plan, in May 2004, the national Ministry of construction began to implement the "energy conservation - city green lighting demonstration project" plan, the goal is to achieve the 2008 City Lighting Saving 15% of the target, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the city lighting quality, improve the living environment of city.

From 1996 to 2005, 10 years Chinese green lighting project implementation and achieved remarkable results: efficient electric light source products in the domestic sales of about 1 billion, an increase of 20 times; lighting products tends to optimize the structure, fluorescent lamp and incandescent lamp production ratio increased from 1:6.25 to 1:1.5; the product quality has been improved, the production of qualified compact fluorescent lamps the product rate increased to 95.1%, an increase of 1 times; efficient lighting products inventory total lighting products quantity ratio of more than 50%, a user penetration rate of over 80%. Experts estimate that ten years of China's green lighting project to achieve a total savings of 55 billion kWh, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide (carbon) emissions of 14 million 520 thousand T. In 2005, the International Conference on China's green lighting and the Sixth International Conference on efficient lighting show that the international community is sure of our country's green lighting project.

"11th Five-Year": promoting green lighting project

In 11th Five-Year, the Chinese government decided to continue to vigorously promote the green lighting project, and adopted a series of effective measures.

Prior to November 2004, the national development and Reform Commission issued the "energy saving and long-term planning" will be included in the key areas of energy-saving lighting appliances. In July 2006, the national development and Reform Commission, Ministry of science and technology, Ministry of finance, the Ministry of construction, the State Administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine, the State Environmental Protection Administration and other departments jointly organize the preparation of the "11th Five-Year" ten key energy-saving project implementation opinions "in the national energy conservation work conference. Green lighting project is one of the main contents are: the technological transformation of energy-saving lighting products production line; the promotion of energy-saving lighting products; the use of LED lighting products, transformation of city traffic signal system, carry out the application of LED in landscape lighting demonstration. Including supporting measures: improve and implement energy efficiency standards for lighting products, establish a market access system; strengthen energy-saving lighting products certification, the implementation of energy-saving lighting product quality commitment system; strengthen the publicity of green lighting, green lighting publicity to increase the government's investment, the establishment of green lighting publicity of government support mechanism
