Chief energy official: New energy 'a must' for ChinaBy (Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-03-07 17:23 Development of new energy should be established as an important strategy for China to address energy shortage and environmental woes, Zhang Guobao, head of the National Energy Administration, said Saturday.
"If we fail to address the development of new energy from a higher horizon, we will regret to find ourselves falling behind others within 10 years," said Zhang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). In China, coal makes up about 70 percent of its total energy consumption, 40 percentage points higher than the world average. The country is seeking the development of other energy sources than coal to shift its heavy reliance on coal and reduce pollution. Premier Wen Jiabao said in the government work report delivered to lawmakers Thursday that the country will "energetically develop a circular economy and clean energy." The country would promote R&D on technologies in new energy sources and develop clean energy such as nuclear, wind, and solar power this year, according to Wen's report.
