The Department of Hi-tech Development and Industrialization convened a meeting of general expert panel on industrial energy conservation and emissions reduction lately. The meeting reviewed the work of the panel and gave full recognition to efforts and achievements by the experts. The panel agreed that priorities at the next stage should be granted to specific projects in four major engineering fields, namely cutting energy use and emissions in energy-intensive industries, low industrial wastewater discharge, new energy-efficient materials and equipment, and alternative energy.
