Energy efficiency is made top priority

The low-carbon economy has served as the engine for growth of the Huangjinshan New Industrial District, administered by the Huangshi Economic and Technical Development Zone, in the past years and will grow even stronger in the future, a senior official said.

"We will never pursue economic interests at the cost of environmental degradation in developing the Huangjinshan New Industrial District," said Hu Chao, a member of the Huangshi CPC Standing Committee, and director of the Huangshi Economic and Technical Development Zone administration.

"We have declined a project with environmental hazard though it will bring us an investment of more than 2 billion yuan."
