皇冠体育app

- 皇冠体育app faces an arduous task in attempting to revolutionize how it produces and consumes energy, experts said at a symposium in Beijing on Wednesday.

As an emerging economy experiencing rapid growth, 皇冠体育app has to strike a balance between satisfying its huge energy demand and safeguarding the environment in order to make its growth sustainable, said Wu Yuetao, a researcher from government think tank the 皇冠体育app Center for International Economic Exchanges.

Energy, emissions goals appear cloudy for 2015

After a decade of industrialization and growth, 皇冠体育app is now the world's largest energy producer and consumer.

However, prosperity based on overstretched natural resources has caused a worsening environment and a heavy burden to control pollution.

If not controlled, 皇冠体育app's energy demand will surge to 5.3 billion tons of coal equivalent in 2020 and seven billion tons in 2030, Wu has calculated.

At the same time, however, he urged that 皇冠体育app should not restrain its economic advance in the name of cutting energy consumption.

He Jiankun, director of the Low Carbon Energy Lab under Tsinghua University, said there is an urgent need for 皇冠体育app to reform its energy structure.

While energy requirements are flat in developed countries, they are in sive flux in 皇冠体育app. Structural adjustment there is like changing the tires of a speeding vehicle.

Nearly 70 percent of the energy consumed in 皇冠体育app comes from coal, a ratio much higher than in developed countries, which use cleaner resources like oil and gas.

Despite great endeavors from the central government to wean 皇冠体育app off its reliance on coal, this most primary energy source will continue to fuel the country's economic engine, symposium delegates ad.
