Plan calls for rise in non-fossil fuels use

China plans to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in its overall energy consumption to 10.7 percent this year in an effort to further improve its energy mix, the national energy authority said yesterday.

Raising energy efficiency, controlling consumption, optimizing the mix and guaranteeing supply are this year’s four major tasks listed by the National Energy Administration, according to a document posted on its website.

Non-fossil fuels took up 9.8 percent of China’s total energy use in 2013, up 0.4 percentage points year on year, it said.

The 12th Five-Year (2011-2015) Plan set a target of non-fossil fuels accounting for 11.4 percent of the country’s energy consumption by 2015.

The NEA plans to increase installed capacity of non-fossil fuels to 33 percent of total installed capacity this year. Doing so will reduce coal consumption to below 65 percent of total energy use.
