China has taken another solid step toward realizing its ambitious climate targets by making public a concrete action plan on Tuesday for peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030.

The plan, unveiled by the State Council, the country's Cabinet, includes specific targets for different sectors as it forges ahead to phase out coal consumption and increase renewable energy in its energy mix.

To establish a preliminary clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system by the end of the decade, China aims to "bring the growth of coal consumption under rigid control" during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period and then gradually reduce its consumption in the next five years, according to the document.

To ensure the realization of the target of peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030, China will first increase the proportion of non-fossil energy in its energy consumption mix to around 20 percent by 2025 and then to about 25 percent five years later, it said.

The country aims to go carbon neutral before 2060.

Another priority in the action plan is to speed up the construction of a new power system with a gradual increase of new energies.

China will strictly restrict cross-regional transportation of coal-fired power, it said. At least half of the electricity transported via newly-built power transmission channels should be renewable.
