Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- China, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, plans to more than double its spending on environmental protection in the five years through 2015, the Shanghai Securities News reported.
The Asian nation may invest 3.1 trillion yuan ($454 billion) during the period, compared with 1.4 trillion yuan allocated for the five years between 2006 and 2010, the Chinese-language newspaper said today, citing an unidentified official from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
China, pressed by the U.S. to set emission targets for the Copenhagen global-warming summit next month, said in September it will lower emissions per unit of economic growth through 2020. Greenhouse gases increased to record concentrations last year, the United Nations said yesterday.
“The doubling of the budget is beyond our expectations,” Yan Biao, an analyst with Century Securities Co. said by phone from the southern city of Shenzhen. “The increase in spending will benefit equipment manufacturers in water treatment, air pollution control, and also developers in the renewable energy sector.”
