CHINA will push for the use of clean power and energy-saving technologies in its massive urbanization drive over the next five years, a senior energy official said yesterday.
Qian Zhimin, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, told a low-carbon forum, sponsored by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, in the northern Tianjin City that by 2015 China will establish 100 model cities, 200 model counties, 1,000 model districts, and 10,000 model towns of green and new energy.
The nation plans to raise urbanization to 52 percent by 2015 and 65 percent by 2030.
Technologies such as smart grids, solar power utilities, and clean energy-powered vehicles will be promoted in city planning, Qian said, adding that public transport will be given priority.
Qian said cities should steadily increase the ratio of clean energy, including solar, hydro-electric and nuclear power, in the energy consumption mix while improving the efficiency in the use of traditional fossil fuel energy.
China has become a major energy consumer over the past five years.
Its per-capita consumption averaged 2.38 tons of coal in 2010, a rise of 32 percent over 2005, and the per-capita natural gas consumption was 88 cubic meters, 2.4 times more than in 2005.
Coal remains the mainstay of China's energy supply, and in 2010 its raw coal output topped 3.2 billion tons, about 45 percent of the world's total.
