China aims to have its CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.

Its output growth rates over the past two years far exceeded that of the three leading coal-producing regions of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia.

Power consumption data can reflect situations of enterprises' production and economic operation, and thus become a key barometer of economic activity, experts said.

China's raw coal output posted stable expansion in December 2022, official data showed.

The daily crude steel output stood at 1.93 million tonnes in early January, according to the China Iron and Steel Association.

Building such terminals is also to fulfill its commitment to carbon reduction and carbon neutrality, said Chu Bin, Party chief of the Tianjin Port Group.
