\r\n

\r\nChina plans to invest 2.3 trillion yuan ($375 billion) in energy\r\nsaving and emission-reduction projects in the five years through\r\n2015 to clean up its environment, the China Daily newspaper reported\r\non Wednesday, citing a senior government official.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe plan, which has been approved by the State Council, is on top of\r\na 1.85 trillion yuan investment in the renewable energy sector,\r\nunderscoring the government’s concerns about addressing a key source\r\nof social discontent.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nChina has set a target of reducing its carbon emissions per unit of\r\nGDP by 40-45 percent by 2020 from the 2005 level, and raising\r\nnon-fossil energy consumption to 15 percent of its energy mix, Xie\r\nZhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform\r\nCommission (NDRC), was quoted as saying.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nThe article continues about tiered power pricing for energy intensive\r\nindustries and carbon trading markets.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nGiven that most of the world’s increase in energy usage comes from one country,\r\nChina,\r\n\r\naccording to OECD figures<\/a>,\r\nanything China can do to slow that increase is good.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
