China will boost cooperation with Germany in harnessing renewable resources to meet its ultimate goal - making non-fossil energy 15% of China’s total energy consumption by 2020, according to China’s Vice Agriculture Minister Zhang Taolin. “The period for the Five Year Plan is key to developing biomass energy and reaching the target, while biogas will be a strategic focus,” he says at a seminar jointly organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Germany’s Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection in Beijing. Before signing a Memorandum of Understanding of Biogas Cooperation between China and Germany next year, the two countries will first set up a biogas research centre and take on biogas demonstration projects.
