China plans to strengthen controls in industries such as steel and aluminium which involve high energy use and produce high emissions, in an effort to promote low-carbon developments, the environment ministry said on Monday.

After several decades of breakneck industrial expansion China has now vowed to start cutting carbon emissions before 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060. In pursuit of that goal it has already urged some regions to tighten energy efficiency controls.

"New and expanded petrochemical, chemical, coking nonferrous ... projects should be located in the industrial parks in accordance with laws and regulations," the MEE said. For oil refining, ethylene, steel, coking, aluminium and other projects that have high environmental impacts or risks, authorities should not lower approval requirements "in the name of reform pilots", the guidelines, without giving any further details.

The MEE also encouraged steel mills in key areas to be transformed into electric arc furnaces from long steelmaking processes that use blast furnaces and converters, said the statement. It asked each provincial environment regulator to coordinate and manage local high energy intensity and high emission projects, reporting findings to the MEE by the end of October and updating every six months.Subscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.

For Biden, the White House is 'a Monday-through-Friday kind of place''Joe Biden has always been the guy who goes home to Delaware,' said someone who has worked with the President. 'The White House isn't going to change that.' All MSM is setting the bar low. What is good for the goose will also be good for the gander. Keep placating. I'm a Biden fan, but I have to call out the hypocrisy. You crucify Trump for all his vacations, but cover this as a good story. (Truth be told, I don't care if he leaves on weekends, just want less hypocrisy in the media, both from left wing (MSNBC/CNN) and right wing (Fox, etc.) Ah, Biden hasn't left the basement of he's house. He's is really a joke of a president. Trump is going to easily win in 2024
