Cut in energy use

CHINA yesterday said it plans to cut energy consumption per 10,000 yuan (US$1,563) of gross domestic product by 16 percent in 2015 from the level of last year.

Energy use per 10,000 yuan of GDP will drop to 0.869 ton of coal equivalent by 2015, from 1.034 tons in 2010, the government said in a statement on its website.

By 2015, China will have saved 670 million tons of coal equivalent under the plan.

To meet the goal, the government will rein in excessive growth in high energy-consuming and high polluting industries and step up elimination of outdated industrial capacities during the period, the statement said.
