Coal Dominance Undermines Narrative of China's Clean Energy Victory

#China China’s climate strategy is more industrial than environmental China's climate strategy is not just about creating a greener world. The country also wants to own the industries that will power it https://daoinsights.com/opinions/chinas-climate-strategy-is-more-industrial-than-environmental/ #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

RE: https://social.marxist.network/@yogthos/116421081410663691 China uses/produces 8x more electricity than did in 2000 By far the largest portion of it is #Coal It has also become the largest producer of power from nuclear plants .. so spare us the "renewable" marketing and stick to the oil/gas dependency. With #Russia next door and in good relations with them, the last thing #China is worried about is a #Trump induced #OilShock #Europe is Trump's (#BigOil ) target @tromo

A decade of renewable build-out and electrification have materially reduced China’s exposure to energy shocks, with oil and gas now playing only a minor role in power mix. The oil shock will also force a reset in Asia, the biggest importer of Middle Eastern oil. Japan, Korea and India are now all likely to look for ways to diversify their energy mix, and the equipment needed to achieve that diversification will inevitably come from China. fortune.com/2026/04/09/deutsche-bank-says-china-is-energy-winner-in-age-of-war #china #cleanenergy #news

China will seek to double its supply of non-fossil fuel energy by 2035, in a plan that analysts see as a boost to Beijing's green targets. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/04/17/energy/china-clean-energy-targets/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #energy #emissions #climatechange #china

Much is made of China's accelerating green transition, and certainly the absolute levels of renewable energy acceleration have been impressive.... but, if we look at the overall picture, China remains a country were around half of all energy production remains coal-fired. While, especially in the current global situation this has put China in an enviable position as regards energy sovereignty, as far as emissions & environmental impact this is a grim picture! #emissions #climate #China
