China Follows Through on its Climate Pledges 1114.rtf
According to its draft 2015-2020 Plan, coal will fall from 67% of energy in 2013 to 62% in 2020 - even as coal use rises from 3.75 to 4.2 billion tons a year, or 2% a year. 12 of China’s 34 provinces, with 44% of its coal use, have already implemented coal control measures. 10 of the 12 require a reduction in coal use - see map below.
Meanwhile the share of no-carbon “fuels" will rise from 9.8% in 2013 to 15% in 2020, aiming for the pledged 20% by 2030. From "Transforming China’s Grid… 0913,” below, China targets 260 GW of hydro, 104 of wind and 35 of solar, just by 2015. By 2020, China plans 500 GW (a 100 GW addition) of renewable electricity. That's almost half of the 1,060 GW in US total electric capacity. By 2030, China plans to add (from 2013) 800 to 1,000 GW of nuclear, wind, solar and other no-carbon generating capacity.
Wind and solar targets were revised significantly upward during the current (2010-2015) Plan.
