China' s energy efficiency improvement, e. g. , the reduction of energy consumption per unit gross domestic product, has been substantial since the central government implemented a series of policy measures in recent years. However, these policy measures have neither eliminated thoroughly the energy dissipation during the process of socioeconomic development, nor found a comprehensive solution to the threat of overloaded energy consumption in China in the long run. The key reason is a lack of systematic understanding of the essence of China' s energy conservation, which makes it difficult to develop a comprehensive strategy for energy conservation. This study summarizes the essence of China' s energy conservation based on the discussion of the general concept of energy conservation itself and an analysis of the dynamic growth of energy consumption and its mechanisms in China. This study points out that saving energy from the dynamic socioeconomic development process is the essential connotation of China' s energy conservation, while the fundamental purpose of China' s energy conservation is to reduce the country' s aggregate energy consumption for achieving its modernization ( e. g. , urbanization and industrialization). This paper deepens our understanding of energy conservation in the Chinese context, and provides fundamental references to help decision ?makers to scientifically formulate and implement China' s energy conservatioh policies and strategies.%近年来,尽管我国政府围绕一些阶段性的能源效率改进指标(例如:降低我国单位国内生产总值的能源消耗)实施了一系列政策措施,并且就此已经取得了显著的成效,但这并未从根本上消除我国当前经济社会发展过程中存在的能源浪费和不合理使用现象,以及从长远来看我国经济社会发展趋向和依赖高能耗经济社会发展路径的隐患.究其原因,关键是对符合我国现实国情的节能内涵欠缺充分的认识,从而难以制定具有前瞻性和全局性的节能发展战略.在此背景下,本文在辨析节能基本概念的基础上,结合对我国当前能源消耗动态增长特征及其形成机理的剖析,进一步归纳出我国节能的本质内涵,指出“动态节能”是我国节能的本质内涵,而我国“动态节能”的根本目的在于减少我国实现现代化(例如城镇化和工业化等)整体过程中的“集总能源消耗”.本文开展的以上定性分析工作加深了对我国节能内涵的认识,为相关决策者制定更加全面的节能政策提供必要的决策参考依据.
