China expected to reach green goal a year earlier

Updated: 2009-03-18 15:30 China is likely to realize its target of sulfur dioxide emission reduction in 2009, one year ahead of time, a senior official from the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) said.
"It is very likely that China will realize this target in 2009, a year ahead of schedule," Wang said. China vowed to reduce its emissions of sulfur dioxide, a major cause of air pollution, by 10 percent during the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2006-10). But Wang said China is still the world's largest emitter of sulfur dioxide, with annual emissions totaling about 22 million tons. The country will continue to slash its sulfur dioxide emissions during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-15), and the detailed target is still being discussed, Wang said.
