China’s solar capacity and exports continue historic surge. “China’s solar sector is set to break records in the coming years. When installed capacity crosses the 500 gigawatts (GW) mark by the end of 2023, it will have taken 13 years to reach that milestone. That total, however, will be doubled to 1 terawatt (TW) in just three additional years. Rystad Energy modeling shows total installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in China […]
World Geothermal Congress adopts world-first, China-based geothermal standard at Beijing meeting.

The release of the Standard and Beijing Declaration is defining the principles and adding momentum to the sustainable, high-quality development of global geothermal industry, which will bring the […]
In major news for China’s electricity system and emissions – and for the world, on 17 July, China’s National Bureau of Statistics announced that despite overall electricity generation growing 3.8% year-on-year, hydropower output fell by nearly 23% in the first half of 2023 – the largest drop among all electricity sources. Hydro is China’s largest source of renewable power, accounting for 15% of electricity in 2022. The scale of the […]
China’s emission intensity falls 35% in 10 years. On September 22, the “2023 Global Carbon Neutrality Annual Progress Report,” backed by Tsinghua University’s Institute for Carbon Neutrality, School of Environment, and various experts, was unveiled at Tsinghua University. The report, exploring perspectives of goals, policies, actions, and effects, offers an analysis of the commitments to carbon neutrality, low-carbon technology, climate finance, and international climate cooperation across 197 countries worldwide. Liu […]
Chinese Researchers Develop Carbon Observation Network to Measure Anthropogenic Carbon Emissions In 2021, global anthropogenic CO2 emissions reached a staggering 40.0±2.9 billion tons. Managing anthropogenic emissions, especially from major industries, is crucial for addressing global warming and promoting sustainable growth. However, existing emission records lack transparency and accuracy due to limited knowledge of CO2 emissions from cities and key sectors, leading to uncertainty in the global carbon budget. Recently, a […]
Obstruction of UK nuclear deal widely seen as US influenced. Under a 2015 nuclear cooperation deal between China and the UK government, the state-owned energy corporation China General Nuclear (CGN) has been involved it the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant project in Essex, England. This was to be the UK’s first new-generation nuclear power station in three decades. The project was given regulatory permission in February 2022, after a […]
China’s first set of floating devices that can turn ocean thermal energy into electricity has successfully completed sea trials in recent weeks, marking a significant step forward in the country’s utilization of renewable energy sources. Ocean thermal energy conversion is a process that can generate electricity by making use of the temperature differences between the sea surface and deep ocean. China is endowed with plentiful of ocean thermal energy conversion […]
The ties between China and Türkiye can be dated back to the ancient Silk Road. Now as the Belt and Road Initiative marks its tenth anniversary, the two sides continue to deepen their relations in the new era. Türkiye has strong economic relations with China and is one of the very early partners of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In November 2015, China and Türkiye signed a Memorandum of […]
The Western focus on China as “the world’s worst polluter” is devious and dishonest – and racist. The purpose of this article is to present the facts on CO2 emissions. China is of course the world’s most populous nation, although India was predicted to surpass China by mid-2023. This is very convenient for Western anti-China rhetoric, as it makes it easy to setup a “straw-man” comparison to the USA or […]
China’s energy storage sector is experiencing rapid growth due to an accelerated uptake of renewables in the country’s energy mix. But the energy industry also faces some significant challenges. The following article from Caixin Global looks at five issues for China’s energy storage industry. China’s energy storage sector is growing rapidly, with planned capacity based on newly published tenders of projects topping 19 gigawatts (GW) for the first five months […]
