Beijing authorities have released a plan for energy development from 2021 to 2025. Beijing will strengthen the control of the amount and intensity of energy and carbon emissions and continue to promote clean energy use in rural areas. By 2025, the city will achieve a coal-free heat supply.

北京市政府近日印发《北京市“十四五”时期能源发展规划》。“十四五”时期北京将强化能源、碳排放的总量和强度双控，并继续推动农村清洁能源替代，到2025年基本实现全市供热“无煤化”。

Beijing will improve its natural gas supply capacity and form emergency reserves of about 1.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas by 2025.

根据规划，“十四五”时期北京将提高天然气供应保障能力，形成14亿立方米左右的天然气应急储备能力。
