BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- China will work to control coal consumption this year in the face of strained coal supplies, the country's energy chief said Saturday.
"Putting a cap on total coal consumption will help to hasten industrial restructuring and promote the transformation 1 of China's economic growth model," Liu Tienan, head of the National Energy Administration, said at a national energy conference.
China aims to cap its total energy consumption at 4 billion metric tonnes of coal equivalent by 2015, an annual increase of 4.24 percent.
Liu urged efforts to ensure a stable coal market, increase efficiency, raise the sector 2's valued-added output, strengthen coal mine safety, improve miners' livelihoods 3 and deepen international cooperation in the sector.
The country's coal output rose 8.7 percent year-on-year to reach 3.52 billion metric tonnes in 2011, according to data from the Ministry 4 of Industry and Information Technology.
Coal is the primary source for about 80 percent of China's generated power. The country has established a goal of deriving 5 15 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.
