BEIJING (Reuters) -- China aims for non-fossil fuels to account for about 20% of total energy consumption by 2030, increasing to more than half of demand by 2050, its state planner said on Tuesday, as Beijing continues its years-long shift away from coal power.
In a policy document, the National Development and Reform Commission said carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will peak by 2030 and total energy demand will be capped at 6 Bt of standard coal equivalent by 2030.
