—Energy Structure and Utilization Efficiency（1）
As the rapid growth of China civil aviation industry in recent years, the aviation fuel consumption is growing at the rate of 12% annually.050000001000000015000000199519971999200120032005fuel demand

Due to the update of fleet, the fuel consumption every ton kilometer is reducing. 1995-2000, the average fuel consumption each ton kilometer reduced 2.5% annually, while from 2000 to 2005, 1.2% was reached.00.10.20.30.40.519951996199719981999200020012002200320042005fuel consumptionper TKM

According to the “aviation and global atmosphere special report”published in 1999 by IPCC, 13% of the total emission was causedby world civil aviation industry.One: Current Green Development Situation of China Civil Aviation Industry (cont.)—Civil Aviation Emission（1）Global CO2 Emission by TransportAviationOthersRoad Transport
•China civil aviation grows rapidly, so as the aviation emission.The emission of greenhouse gases increased from less 20 million ton in 2000 to about 30 million ton in 2005, about 15% increase annually.
•More than 40 airports in China have encountered noise problem. It is extremely urgent to solve noise pollution because of the increasing awareness of protecting public rights.
•After the introduction of scientific outlook on development, aviation emission control is not only an environmental issue, but also a task to keep aviation industry growing in a sustainable way.

Improve organization structure
Compose “Civil Aviation Industry Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Plan”
Build a solid foundation of work
Encourage application of new ATM technology
romote specific energy conservation and emission reduction workActively participate in ICAO missions of energy conservation and emission reduction
One: Current Green Development Situation of China Civil Aviation Industry (cont.)—Current Work on Energy Conservation & Emission Reduction
Awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction need to be improved
A weak foundation
System coordination and working mechanism need to be refined
Utilization of air space is low

Two: Situation and Tasks We Are Facing
—International Situation
ICAO has set up Group on International Aviation and Climate Change (GIACC）to study civil aviation emission reduction issues
European Union put forward a “Green Sky “plan, and has approved legislation procedures to make aviation part of EU Emission Trading System（EU ETS）
The Next Generation Aviation Transportation System （NextGen）in United States, aviation is about to join in the Broad Emission Trading System（Broad ETS）in Australia
All the facts show that ICAO and individual countries pay more attention to the negative effects aviation greenhouse gas emission bring to the environment
Resource saving and environmental protection are our basic national policies
Mandatory requirement of energy conservation and emission reduction has been raised in the national 11th “five year”plan
“Energy Conservation Law”requires transportation department to be responsible for energy saving monitoring and management in related areas and make up energy conservation plans
Specific requirements are raised to CAAC by national team which deals with climate changing and energy conservation and emission reduction
To build a resource saving and environment friendly civil aviation transportation system is a way to implement scientific outlook and fasten the growth of civil aviation industry. It is also an inevitable requirement of turning a giant China civil aviation industry into a powerful one
—Domestic Situation
By 2015, a relatively sound energy conservation and emission reduction system will be built based on the establishment of industry energy conservation and emission reduction criteria, policy, supervision technical supportNew progress is made regarding industry technology application and research in energy conservation and emission reductionIndustry energy conservation and emission reduction culture has filtered into people’s mindsA significant energy conservation and emission reductionresult is shown across the whole industryThree: Prospects of Future—Target（1）

Key Measures（1）
—Push Forward Industry Energy ConservationPush forward industry energy conservationPush conservation1.Fuel saving of airlines2. Energy Saving in ground handling3. Promote ATC Modernization4. Industry-wide Office energy saving
promote industry emission reductionreductionaviation emission controlairport noisemonitor & controlImprove aviation waste and airport sewage process
Key Measures（2）
—Push Forward Industry Emission Reduction
Combine industry characteristic and current situation to reinforce management and enhance operational efficiency
Study and set laws, regulations and operational procedures whichare helpful in energy conservation and emission reduction, clarify responsibilities
Strengthen the collaboration among airport, airline and ATC
All levels of administrative units will play an important role in setting up a sound system of collecting data, monitoring and evaluation of energy saving and emission reduction
Based on the principle of “trial before widely implementation”, “easy ones before hard ones, find emphasis to demonstrate”, specific energy conservation and emission reduction projects and demonstration work is carried out
Key Measures（3）
—Reinforce Management, Consolidate Foundation
Climate change is not only an environmental issue, but moreover,it is a development issue
Enjoy rights and fulfill duties in accordance with “UN climate changing framework agreement”and other international laws and regulations
romote international communication and learn advanced experience regarding climate changing, try to control the aviation greenhouse gas emission，enhance capability of dealing with climate changing and promote a sustainable growth in industry, economy, population, resource and environmentKey Measures（4）
—Promote International Communication and
Cooperation, Actively Deal With Climate Change
