		</div><p>Hainan island in the South China Sea has said it will become the first region in China to ban sales of petrol- and diesel-powered cars to curb climate-changing carbon emissions.</p>
<p>Sales of fossil fuel-powered cars will be banned by 2030 and electric vehicles promoted with tax breaks and by expanding the charging network, the Hainan provincial government said in a Carbon Peak Implementation Plan.</p>
<p>The announcement comes as China struggles through its hottest, driest summer in decades, which has wilted crops and shrunk rivers and reservoirs used for generating hydropower.</p>
<p>“By 2030, the whole province will ban sales of fuelled vehicles,” according to the plan.</p>
<p>A deputy Chinese industry minister said in September 2017 that Beijing was working on a plan to stop making and selling petrol- and diesel-powered cars, but the government has yet to release details.</p>
<p>Hainan aims to have electric vehicles account for 45 per cent of its vehicles by 2030, the plan said. It said cities will develop “zero-emissions zones” where fossil fuel-powered vehicles will be banned.</p>
<p>The ruling Communist Party is promoting electric cars to help clean up China’s smog-choked cities and gain an early lead in a growing industry. China accounted for more than half of last year’s global electric car sales.</p>
