On January 21, Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China made public the progression of air pollution control. It is worthwhile to pay attention to a series of energy data.
The work of capacity reduction was carried out smoothly in steel, coal and coal power industries. Only Hebei province reduced over 12 million tons of steel capacity and 14 million tons of coal capacity.
As regards energy structure, thanks to the restriction on coal use in key areas, the consumption of coal accounted for less than 60% of the total energy consumption in 2018. The use of non-fossil energy and natural gas saw an obvious increase.
