Exploring Pathways to the Green Transition: The China Market and Corporate Transition
Despite the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 and the resulting economic fluctuations over the past two years, the new energy sector has continued to see staggering growth, including electric vehicles, which set new records in Chinese sales in the past year. The rapid growth of offshore wind energy and solar PV in recent years has breathed hope into global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Whether it be at COP26 or in China’s 14th FYP, one message always rings clear: the new energy sector is key to tackling climate change and reaching carbon neutrality, and its growth is only the beginning of the global shift towards sustainable practices.
Understanding the growth of renewable energy in the past gives us reason to be more optimistic about how fast it can ramp up to meet carbon neutrality goals in the future. The European Chamber of Commerce in China were delighted to invite Mr. Guozheng Zhang, Director of Investment Promotion Bureau of Qidong Economic Development Zone, Simon Lemin,
Director Industry Services Division Great China, TUV SUD, and Juan Ignacio Garcia de Motiloa, Vice Chair of Energy Working Group to present the challenges and outlook on the Green Transition in China.
