BEIJING, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China.

C919 JETLINER

The C919, China's first homegrown large jetliner, has obtained the type certificate, a milestone step on its journey to market operation.

The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, the C919's developer, got the certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on Thursday. It indicates that the C919's design meets airworthiness standards and environmental requirements.

SKY SURVEY TELESCOPE

A sky survey telescope installed on a mountaintop to the north of Beijing to scan celestial bodies in our Galaxy and beyond has had increasing global scientific influence over a decade after going into operation.

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is an ingeniously-designed instrument capable of seeing the sky wider and deeper at once. It produced the world's largest databank of stellar spectra, serving as a starry "dictionary" that global astronomers can refer to when starting a cosmic investigation.

CLEAN HYDROGEN

Chinese scientists and their American counterparts recently published an assessment of China's future use of clean hydrogen in its heavy industry and heavy-duty transport, noting that clean hydrogen can significantly reduce carbon emissions.

According to the study published in the journal Nature Energy, clean hydrogen can be both a major energy carrier and feedstock that can significantly reduce carbon emissions of heavy industry. Enditem
