Abstract :
Coal is indeed China´s double edged sword-the new economy´s black gold and the fragile environment´s dark cloud. Because of its impact as a greenhouse gas on climate change, it has become increasingly urgent to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. The article makes an overview of Coal´s role in the climate crisis and suggests new approaches for China coal enterprises to shrink the carbon footprint to contribute international solutions to the greenhouse problem.
