International environmental organizations called on China to phase out incandescent timetable for introduction

International environmental group Greenpeace has called on the Chinese Government promulgated the early phasing out the incandescent lamp, a timetable, at the same time advocate for public use of more environmentally friendly energy-saving lamps.
In the eve of the Lantern Festival, Greenpeace in Beijing on the 8th, a shopping plaza to the public display of the speech "old" welcome "new" lantern, constitute the main energy-saving lamps from a Bulls image contrast incandescent mice made to express speech welcoming the Year of the Ox Year of the Rat meaning. The organization would like to take this opportunity to appeal to government policies, so that as soon as possible incandescent history.
"A few days ago, China's relevant departments are planning a timetable for phasing out the incandescent lamp, we will be very supportive of the energy-saving emission reduction work, and hoped that relevant policies introduced in 2009 will be included in a comprehensive phase-out incandescent twelfth Five-Year Plan . "Greenpeace climate and energy project director, said Li.


2007, China's output of incandescent 4,440,000,000, representing the world's production of 1 / 3, export 2,980,000,000. It is understood that the traditional incandescent lamp when in use has 95% of the energy is wasted in heating, it is necessary to achieve the same lighting effects, energy-saving incandescent lamp required only 20% of energy requirements, and energy-saving lamps can achieve the life of incandescent 10 times.
China is now the world's largest producers of energy-saving lamps, but the utilization rate of energy-saving lamps is still very low. Li said that a very important reason is that the price of energy-saving lamps are very expensive in general between 15-20 million, while the price of ordinary incandescent only one million, this resulted in a lot of underdeveloped areas are not the promotion of energy-saving lamps, hope that the Government in the promotion of energy-saving lamps regard efforts to increase financial subsidies to reduce the price of energy-saving lamps.
"If the government in phasing out the incandescent lamp can be determined, not only is the world's emission reduction will be one of the needle arm, but also demonstrated China's emission reduction commitment and courage responsible." Li said.
Greenpeace is a global environmental organizations in the world, more than 40 national and regional branches.
