China to see greater development of renewable energy

China will see a greater development and use of renewable energy in the years to come as the country has adopted policies to encourage greater efforts in this regard.

The Renewable Energy Law of China, which came into effect on Jan. 1 this year, stipulates that development and use of renewables such as solar energy are an area of priority for future energy development.

With 75 million square meters of solar energy heaters, China is saved from burning 110 million tons of standard coal annually.

It is estimated that the Chinese market demand for solar panel heaters will rise to 300 million square meters by the year 2020.
