China's renewables target

China's renewable energy strategy up to 2050 envisions renewable energy making up one-third of its energy consumption by then the China Daily has reported. Coal-dependent China the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter said it would cut the amount of carbon dioxide produced for each yuan of national income by 40-45% by 2020 compared to 2005 levels.Depending on economic growth projections total emissions will still rise. By 2020 renewable energy should account for 15% of national primary energy consumption supplying the equivalent of 600 million tonnes of coal the China Daily said.By 2030 renewable energy's share should rise to 20% of the national energy mix displacing one billion tonnes of coal and by 2050 it would supply one-third of China's energy displacing two billion tonnes of coal the paper said.China's installed wind power capacity is now 12.17 million kilowatts up from 350000 kw in 2000 and large-scale solar energy facilities are planned the paper said. China is focusing on non-grain bioethanol and biodiesel to avoid diverting grains from food and feed supply.
