Taiyuan expo shows green development has many takers

TAIYUAN - At a recent international energy industry expo in Taiyuan, capital of North China's Shanxi province, local resident surnamed Jiang looked for building materials like decorations for his new apartment.

At the expo, which opened in September, Jiang was interested in marble-like tiles, made from a waste-recycling product generated from coal-burning for electric power.

An oddly-shaped, fist-sized black ball displayed at a nearby stand also grabbed Jiang's attention. It was solid fuel made of household waste, used for boiler heating and thermal power generation.
