China will seek to double its supply of non-fossil fuel energy by 2035, in a plan that analysts see as a boost to Beijing’s green targets.

The country will “significantly increase” the supply of non-fossil energy by 2030 and double it by 2035 compared with 2025 levels, Wang Changlin, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a briefingBloomberg Terminal on Friday. A massive hydropower project in Tibet and desert-based renewable hubs will help propel clean-energy generation, he said.
