Low-carbon road map for China


| Sourced From Newscientist.com |

IT’S a road map that will only allow green cars. By 2050, all new power sources in China will be either renewable or nuclear – and this change to a low-carbon future can take place while boosting economic growth.

China’s low-carbon road map, presented to the Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development in Beijing last week, claims that the global shift towards low-carbon technology “will allow China to capitalise on new growth opportunities as a supplier to satisfy increasing global demand” for such technologies.

To achieve a low-carbon economy by 2050, the report says the country must cut back its mining industry, introduce energy efficiency measures, construct compact eco-cities, invest in public transport and renewable energy, and install carbon capture and storage facilities.
