Ecological security/ China will to lower the proportion of fossil fuel

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang pledged here on Wednesday to reduce the proportion of fossil fuel in China's total energy mix and promote clean technology.

This marks the latest effort of the world's most populous country in its uphill battle against air pollution and climate change.

When meeting with representatives of the International Business Council of the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos, Li said China has pledged to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20 percent by 2030, which means that painstaking efforts must be made by the developing country with a population of 1.3 billion.

China will endeavor to lower the proportion of fossil fuel, especially the coal, in the country's total energy consumption, Li pledged.
