"Low carbon economy" of the birth to the green lighting two promotion problem

Please imagine such a picture: in a supermarket in the city, marked on each item is not only the price, material composition, origin, also marked the carbon dioxide emissions caused by the production of this product. What kind of products would you consider to buy? Lower carbon consumption or better taste?

As more people how much carbon dioxide emissions will be considered as the main factors is a consumer buy, maybe our earth will be following a scene: no tall chimneys, the night sky is clear; no dragging tail gas ran through the streets of the car, the morning sky particularly refreshing...

This is not a description of the story of science fiction, but a kind of "zero carbon future" which can be expected to be realized by human endeavor". In the case of global warming and pollution, the most difficult problem to achieve "zero carbon future" is how to reduce energy consumption and waste while developing the global economy

In July 27th, held in Washington in the first round of Sino US strategic and economic dialogue, the United States President Obama gives the answer: he suggested the two countries through the "low carbon economy" economic recovery program, taking into account the global environment and climate issues at the same time effectively driven economy. Low carbon economy has become a hot word, was highly concerned about the outside world.

What is "low carbon economy"? How difficult is it to realize the "low carbon economy"? In the opinion of the chief executive of PHILPS lighting China Mr. Lin Liangqi, the government and the whole society, the implementation of "low carbon economy" is one of the most effective ways to promote "green city lighting", the use of high-tech means to achieve the purpose of saving energy and protect the environment.

In fact, green lighting in our country is not a new word. Recent local cities in the new urban planning program invariably mentioned the use of more environmentally friendly "green lighting" decorate the city. News from the national development and Reform Commission revealed that before the end of this year, China's eastern, central and western cities in the western region of the road, public places lighting will be eliminated all kinds of inefficient lighting products such as incandescent. This means that China's green city lighting plan is advancing into the climax.

However, the green city lighting construction plan now is still facing some challenges: talking about green city lighting, people tend to think of the city lighting is used in the new scheme, but ignored the incandescent lamp energy a huge existing; and in the city green lighting concept popularization still exist many gaps.

"Low carbon" gave birth to the green lighting

With the promotion of "low carbon economy", urban green lighting has become the focus of heated debate. Experts agreed that the construction of low-carbon economy, the development of urban lighting to take the green line is inevitable.

The so-called "low carbon economy", refers to the development of emissions of greenhouse gases, at the same time, the largest output of society as a whole. The future, human beings can be more use of renewable energy, to the underground storage of carbon dioxide and other ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also does not affect the citizen's social welfare and quality of life, without sacrificing the development of society and economy. Therefore, low carbon economy is considered to be following the industrial revolution, the information revolution, the fifth wave of revolution in the world economy, and low oil consumption will become the mainstream of future life model.

The charm of the "low carbon economy" is that it can not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create a natural environment suitable for human habitation, but it is also a powerful driving force for global economic recovery. July 27th, the first round of the U.S. - China strategic and Economic Dialogue held in Washington, U.S. President Obama suggested that China and the United States through the "low carbon economy" to stimulate economic recovery plan. The Chinese government is also aware of the problem. In 2008, the 4 trillion economic incentive plan put forward by the Chinese government, taking the environmental infrastructure construction, the development of new energy sources and energy efficiency as the key areas accounted for the total of 18%.

If we can seize the opportunity to develop a 'low carbon economy', you can change China's development model to promote economic growth, and ultimately to achieve low-carbon prosperity. "Mr. Lin Liangqi of PHILPS says.

It is understood that the Chinese government began to organize the implementation of the green lighting project in 1996, will be included in the "95", "fifteen" key areas of energy saving and "11th Five-Year" 10 key energy saving projects. In order to overcome the obstacle to the promotion of energy-saving lamp market, the government introduced by the way of financial subsidies to promote energy-saving lamps to residential users, bulk users were given 50% and 30% of the subsidies last year in the nationwide promotion of energy-saving lamps 62 million. This year's promotion task is 120 million, the current work is organized around the implementation.

In July 24th, the national development and Reform Commission and the United Nations Development Programme, the global environment fund cooperation "Chinese phasing out incandescent lamps and energy saving lamps promotion project signing ceremony was held in Beijing, marking the Chinese green lighting international cooperation has entered a new stage. The project execution period from 2009 to 2012, GEF grants $14 million. The main contents of the project is to study the elimination of incandescent lamps in China, the promotion of energy-saving lamps roadmap and special planning, accelerate the transformation of China's incandescent lamp production enterprises to promote the popularization of energy-saving lamps. The overall effect of the project is in the 10 years after the completion of the project, to achieve a total saving of electricity from 1600 to 216 billion kwh, reducing carbon dioxide emissions from 1.75 to 100 million tons.

The two problems to be solved

It must be admitted that, in recent years, China has been exploring
