China to speed up the elimination of incandescent lamps by levying excise tax

Industry insiders said in Thursday, China is expected to introduce a timetable for the elimination of incandescent lamps and incandescent products levied excise tax to speed up the pace of elimination, while the energy-saving lamp industry to give policy support to achieve energy-saving emission reduction policy objectives. According to Reuters, China identified the first of the strategic emerging industries in the energy conservation and environmental protection industry, the choice of the elimination of incandescent light is a breakthrough. Sources said that the National People's Congress of Law Enforcement Inspection of energy-saving report has clearly recommended the State Council to introduce the timetable for the elimination of incandescent bulbs, the relevant departments are actively cooperating.　　The elimination of power is no less than the previous announcement of the heavy elimination of energy-consuming industries behind. According to Statistics, 2009, China's incandescent lamp production of 3.76 billion, accounting for about One-third of global production. The current national incandescent lamp consumption of up to 1.4 billion. At present, China's lighting electricity consumption accounted for about 12% of the total electricity consumption, more than 430 billion kwh.　　If you replace all the incandescent bulbs with energy-saving lamps, you can save 48 billion-kilowatt a year, equivalent to 48 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Earlier this year, the European Union announced that it would spend four years phasing out high-energy lighting, such as incandescent bulbs, and replacing incandescent bulbs with energy-saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lights as the main lights for European residents.　　July, energy-saving lighting enterprise NVC lighting in the industry first announced the elimination of incandescent lamps. Energy-saving emission reduction has always been a focus of the Chinese government, all over the completion of indicators, and even the race staged power rationing farce. November 24, the National Development and Reform Commission deputy director Xie Zhenhua said, "Eleven-Five" period of energy-saving emission reduction targets have been determined can be completed.
