CHINA'S top economic planning body has confirmed the government will take concrete actions to develop a low-carbon economy after it pledged to substantially reduce carbon intensity at last year's Copenhagen Conference.
China will include the low-carbon targets in the 12th five-year plan for national economic development (2011-2015) to build an energy-saving, eco-friendly society, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a report to the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress.
The report said the government will launch a series of technological and fiscal support policies to promote non-fossil, renewable energies including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and nuclear power, aiming to increase their proportion of primary energy consumption to about 15 percent by 2020 from 9.9 percent at the end of last year.
China's installed wind-power capacity reached 15 million kilowatts, with 10 million kilowatts under construction at the end of June 2009, while nuclear power under construction, installed hydro-electric power capacity and solar heating collection areas were the highest in the world, it said.
The commission was also planning to compile an emissions inventory of greenhouse gases in an effort to build a monitoring and checking system to cut carbon emissions.
The economic planner decided to curb redundant construction and industries with surplus production capacities, such as steel, cement and electrolytic aluminum, to promote the energy efficiency and environmental protection.
