2030 carbon target likely to be lax despite growing pressure

摘要

Businesses and NGOs are calling on the government to set a target to decarbonise electricity supply in the Energy Bill. But any set are likely to have loopholes.

But there are also fears the growing debate on the target has distracted from more important issues in the bill.
