Beijing: Li Shenglin, Minister of China’s Ministry of Transport, recently has emphasized that China must accelerate the establishment of a low carbon transport system to achieve energy saving goals.
Li said that the Ministry of Transport expects by 2015 operating vehicles and ship operators to reduce their CO2 emissions per tonne-mile by 10% and 16% respectively from 2005 levels and lower overall port energy consumption by 8%.
