China’s Ordos region plans energy transition

BEIJING: As the race to achieve net-zero carbon emissions is redefining the world’s energy outlay, the city of Ordos in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region aims to grab a piece of the pie through energy transition.

With proven coal reserves of the Ordos Plateau standing at 210.2 billion tonnes, accounting for about one-sixth of the country’s coal supply, Ordos has consistently been an important energy supply base in the country over the past few decades.
