China curbs CO2 emissions through industrial restructuring (5)

(Xinhua)

08:31, November 22, 2012

In strengthening agricultural carbon sinks, the area cultivated using conservation farming techniques increased by more than 1.27 million hectare in 2011, bringing the national total to 5.67 million hectare and amounting to an annual reduction of more than 3 million tons of CO2.

Xie Zhenhua, deputy head of the NDRC, noted that the country has to vigorously develop low-carbon technologies and industries, as its economy-fueling resources are limited in per capita terms and its environment is fragile.

Xie added that developing low-carbon technologies and industries has also provided enterprises with opportunities to transform their development mode and restructure their product mix, and this is more true for export enterprises.

"Some countries levy carbon tax on import commodities, which is an act of unilateral green protectionism, but we could cope with that by adopting low-carbon technologies and offering low-carbon products," Xie said.
