China Peak Carbon Timeline Must Consider Coal Supply Shortages: Premier Li

China must study the timeline and roadmap for the stages of achieving peak carbon goal to incorporate the situations of power and coal supply shortages, Premier Li Keqiang told a cabinet meeting, according to Xinhua News Agency. Local authorities should be realistic and rectify the cookie-cutter way of limiting electricity usage, production or competitive carbon reduction, so as to ensure people's heating needs, stable logistical supply and steady economic growth, Li said according to Xinhua. China must develop more natural, shale and coal gases, and boost coal gas reserves, while steadily retire inefficient coal, Li said.
