The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has set out a strategic plan for
the development of China's energy industry until 2050.
The plan proposes three steps. The first is to develop energy-saving
technology and master techniques in the collection, storage and
utilization of carbon dioxide by 2020.
From 2021 to 2030, the focus will be on promoting nuclear energy and
other renewable energies so they become main resources and maximizing the
efficiency of solar energy.
Over the following 20 years, the academy advocates the reduction of
fossil energies (coal, petroleum, natural gas) to less than 60 percent of
total energy consumption.
"Drawing up a strategic plan for energy science and technology
development is a significant guarantee to build a Chinese energy
sustainable development system," said Lu Yongxiang, CAS president.
"China should establish a renewable energy system by 2050 with which the
amount of energy produced could generally meet the domestic demands of
economic development," he added.
Last week, China's Minister of Science and Technology?Wan Gang announced
plans to establish a batch of international laboratories and research
centers to strengthen cooperation in research and energy exploitation
between governments and non-governmental organizations around the world.
