Clean technology strategy passed

By 2020, all new energy-intensive industry projects possibly causing serious pollution to the environment shall have to meet criteria for clean technology.

This is part of the newly-approved strategy to use clean technology by 2020 with a vision to 2030.

Under the strategy, 60-70% of the current energy-intensive industry facilities shall have to finalize  and implement roadmaps for  the use of clean technology. 

The strategy aims to encourage application of clean and environmentally-friendly technologies; improve efficiency of energy and natural resource usage in the industrial sector in order to promote green development, mitigate impacts of climate change and better living standards.

Specifically, technical standards will be designed and applied in industries which consume a lot of energy and cause heavy pollution such as weaving and dying, production of fertilizers and pesticide, metallurgy, exploitation and manufacturing of minerals; thermo-electricity; paper making, cement and sugarcane.
