To quadruple its per capita value of the 2000 GDP by 2020, China must develop a sustainable energy system as soon as possible.
The report by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) that has set out a strategic plan for the development of China's energy industry until 2050 is not only farsighted but also urgently needed.
The new report argued that, to ensure the stable transition from the current fossil fuel-based energy system to a sustainable energy system, there should be no more than 50 percent increase in the total consumption of fossil fuels by 2050 as compared to that in 2005.
