China aims for 15% of energy from renewable sources
Amid rising energy prices Chinese president Hu Jintao today pledged at the internation conference on renewable energy at the Great Hall that his county aims to generate 15% of its energy from renewable resources.
Aproximately 1,200 delegates from 80 countries joined Chinese leaders in Beijing to discuss alternative energy derived from solar, wind and hydropower instead of coal and oil.
The government claims China uses renewable energy to meet 7% of its total needs and plans to increase that amount to 15% by 2020.
