SUPPORT FOR CLEAN ENERGY

China Development Bank has boosted its financial support for energy development in the first three quarters of this year.

The policy bank issued 406.9 billion yuan (about 57.2 billion U.S. dollars) of loans in the energy sector between January and September to support clean energy development, energy supply guarantee, and clean and efficient coal use.

Raised funds will go towards green projects, including the urban environmental infrastructure and the construction and operation of the urban and rural public transportation system.

It is estimated that these projects could help cut carbon dioxide emissions by around 59,200 tonnes and reduce standard coal consumption by 29,500 tonnes per year.
