Low carbon strategies for industry energy plan of Heilongjiang Province

Heilongjiang Province, whose pillar industries are made up of petroleum and coal exploitation, chemicals fabrication and mechanical devices manufacture, is one of the most important industrial bases in China. The leading enterprises from the three pillar industries make up the 59.2% of the total quantity and contribute the 57.3% of the total GDP in Heilongjiang Province. But as a matter of fact, according to the latest statistics, unit GDP carbon emissions of these three industrials are as high as 4. They are the typical industries whose characteristics are high energy consumed and intense carbon emission. As a result, adopting new energy and switching the developmental pattern to a low carbon model are a crucial step in Heilongjiang Province. The authors study this research by the methods of calculating the relevant datum and comparative analysis, and put forward three low carbon energy strategies: making full use of the bio-energy with the leading representatives of Ethanol Alcohol Gasoline and Dimethyl Ether (DEM); increasing investment on wind power project, and utilizing the potential water resources. With the operation of these strategies, we can reduce the carbon emissions and lead the industry to a green and sustainable way.
