CHINA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPS RAPIDLY
Asia Pulse, September 18, 2008 Thursday 8:02 PM EST
China’s renewable energy industrial sector develops rapidly with the government support.
The sector started to enjoy favorable policy in 2006, and received investment topping $12US billion for its projects in 2007. The amount of renewable energy utilized equaled to about 220 million tons of standard coal in 2007, accounting for 8.5 per cent of total primary energy consumption, which is expected to reach 10 per cent in 2010.
According to the statistics, small hydropower generating units outgrew large ones in newly added installed capacity in 2006. China’s hydropower installed capacity reached 145 million kW in 2007.
China has promoted development of wind power via franchise bid. In 2006, China’s wind power installed capacity reached 1.33 million kW, more than the total amount in the past twenty years. In 2007, the installed capacity of wind power increased by about 3.40 million kW to 6 million kW.
Meanwhile, the power output of biomass energy reached 2 million kW in 2007. The solar photovoltaic output has grown rapidly in recent years, and amounted to over 2,000 megawatt in 2006. The renewable energy is key for China to maintain sustainable economic development, said Shi Dinghuan, chairman of the Chinese Renewable Energy Society.
By 2020, China’s renewable energy is expected to take up 15 per cent of the total primary energy consumption. That means the installed capacity of hydropower and wind power has to reach 300 million kW and 30 million kW respectively.
According to the current development pace, China’s actual installed capacity of wind power will far exceed 30 million kW by 2020, and installed capacity of biomass energy and solar energy will reach 30 million kW and 1.8 million kW respectively. The amount of China’s renewable energy utilized is expected to equal to 600 million tons of standard coal by 2020, which is significant for greenhouse gas reduction and ecological protection.
The Chinese government will further strengthen international exchange and cooperation in renewable energy development.
It has formulated plan to promote technology cooperation with foreign government and enterprises, said the source.
