Coal news and updates

China’s aluminium and cement industries are under mounting pressure to enhance their energy efficiency, switch to cleaner fuels, reduce output and boost recycling to help China realise its goal of reaching peak carbon emissions by 2030.

 

The latest pressure comes from the environment watchdog, which recently unveiled a plan to raise the bar for approval of new emission-intensive industrial projects.

 

Companies seeking the green light for projects involving coal-fired power, petrochemicals, coal-derived chemicals, steel, cement and non-ferrous metals will need to include carbon-emission reduction plans in their environmental impact assessment for the first time.
