China Working Toward Green Energy Solutions
Peter Simpson | Beijing 03 August 2010

The International Energy Agency recently said China has become the world＇s biggest energy consumer - surpassing the United States.  While Beijing disputes the IEA findings, claiming its calculations are misleading, China says it is leading the world in green energy investment and production.

The huge turbines at the Guanting Wind Farm are popular backdrops for photos of newly married couples who find the 60-meter-tall structures a symbol of modernity; an endearing addition to the distant mountains, corn fields and lake a few dozen kilometers outside bustling Beijing.

The hum of the spinning blades is the sound of China going green as it seeks to address the growing energy demands of its rapidly modernizing consumer society and fast-paced industrialization.

China was angered when the International Energy Agency recently named the country the world＇s biggest energy user and emitter of carbon dioxide.

Biased report?

A leading researcher at China＇s National Development and Reform Commission Energy Research Institute, Hu Xiulian says the IEA＇s statistics are unreliable and biased.

Hu says Chinese statistics prove China is not yet the world＇s largest energy user.  She cites oil consumption figures as an example that contradict the IEA＇s findings.  

But International Energy Agency Chief Economist, Fatih Birol, denies bias in the agency＇s calculations.

"We included the same data for all countries; we follow the U.N. agreed conventions and definitions," Birol explained.  "This is data under primary energy sources of all the countries.  We have no problem whatsoever with any country arguing about the numbers."
