From the AFR:
China’s coal use will be permitted to grow by only 5 per cent over the next seven years after the world’s biggest polluter unveiled a cap on coal consumption for the first time.
The State Council – China’s Cabinet – said the country’s annual coal use would be halted at 4.2 billion tonnes by 2020.
Last year, China burned 4 billion tonnes of coal, with around 9 per cent being imported, according to the state-run China Daily.
That’s that, then.
