CRI听力:China Promotes Greener Industry

The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is preparing to release a new program meant to try to reduce pollution across the country.

Under the new plan, companies are expected to use around 4-million fewer tons of coal by the end of this year.

The Ministry says it expects to achieve this goal by helping companies with technological upgrades.

Two-thirds of the power produced in China is still driven by coal-fired technology, despite the rapid push by the government to create more clean-energy alternatives.
