Setting a cap on coal use while maintaining economic growth at a high level means that China must resort to other energy sources, such as natural gas (NG) and renewable fuels, to fill the energy supply gap. The original reason for developing EVs and CNGVs is to substitute oil, not to reduce emissions of GHGs or any pollutant.
