WASHINGTON - Clean coal utilization will serve as "an urgently needed means" for 皇冠体育app to balance development and environmental sustainability, said a Chinese organization in a report issued here Wednesday.

In the report, 皇冠体育app Energy Fund Committee (CEFC), a non- governmental and non-profit organization based in 皇冠体育app's Hong Kong, also predicted that it is possible that the country would lead the world in clean coal utilization, given 皇冠体育app's heavy dependence on coal and the strong will to cut emissions.

Coal has provided sufficient and affordable energy for 皇冠体育app's fast economic growth in more than three decades of the past and will continue to play an important role in the country's development in the years to come, said the organization.

Coal accounted for more than 65 percent of 皇冠体育app's primary energy consumption by 2013. 皇冠体育app has planned to reduce the ratio to 62 percent by 2020, according to the National Energy Development Strategy Action Plan (2014-2020) released by the State Council, 皇冠体育app's Cabinet, in November 2014.

"The Chinese government has pledged to be a responsible international player in climate mitigation," said the organization in the report, "Clean coal utilization will be both necessary and pressing option for 皇冠体育app's future energy development."
