Abstract: As a key energy-intensive sector, the iron and steel sector play an important role of achieving China's national energy efficiency target. This paper reviewed China's energy management system and industrial energy saving policies. Since the 11th Five Year Plan (FYP), China have set explicit energy saving targets for major industrial enterprises by target responsibility system (TRS), while “the Top-1000 program” during the 11th FYP and “the Top-10,000 enterprises project” during the 12th FYP are the most important actions saving energy in industry sectors. Industrial enterprises mainly implement energy saving policies by closing outdated facilities, applying advanced energy efficiency technologies and improving product structure.
