China to Cut Greenhouse Emissions by 950 Million Tons
Bloomberg reports China plans to use hydropower, nuclear energy, biomass and gas to cut 950 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions by 2010.
The country's greenhouse gas emissions reached 5.6 billion tons in 2004, of which 5.05 billion tons were carbon dioxide, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). NDRC chairman Kai Ma says "It baffles me to hear that people are putting the blame on China's emission of carbon dioxide when both our average and our elasticity were below the global average."
US emissions in 2004 reached 7.12 billion tons, according to the Department of Energy. |
