China to use renewable energy for heating

Will do so before the end of the year.

The National Energy Administration will promote solar, geothermal and biomass heating.

A draft of the program said 50 million tons of coal equivalent or TCE will be replaced by renewable energy by 2015 to generate electricity, up from the current 30 million tons. The total is to rise to 100 million tons by 2020.

China set a target to keep total energy consumption below 4 billion tons of TCE by 2015, with electricity consumption below 6.15 trillion kilowatt hours.
