Li Keqiang Emphasizes Nuclear Power

Chinese premier Li commits to 2030 CO2 peaking goal

In remarks reported on a government website, Li Keqiang said China would peak emissions by 2030 and “strive” to do this earlier.

China would increase energy saving measures and programmes to cut the level of CO2 per unit of GDP, he said.

Boosting the share of renewables in the national energy mix and increasing forest cover were also priorities, Li added.

On Monday, he said the country would develop large-scale nuclear projects and partner with France to export nuclear power.
