As the largest source of climate-warming greenhouse gases, China has confirmed that a third of its electricity will come from renewables by 2025 in a bid to uphold its 30/60 carbon neutrality pledge. China’s efforts to develop its renewable energy industry has led to plans of building gigantic wind and solar energy bases to reach its climate goals, and renewables are now set to account for more than half of new energy consumption growth during the 14th 5YP Plan period (2021-25). Meanwhile more than half of the capacity of newly commissioned coal-fired power plants installed around the world in 2021 were in China, a surge which almost offsets coal plant retirements in the rest of the world last year. So far, China has managed to avoid any of the power shortages experienced nationwide in the summer and autumn of 2021, but the coal capacity surge in 2022 indicates worrying insufficient investment and planning in the renewable energy sector. Due to market volatility, the Ukraine war has left a shadow on China’s road to decarbonisation, which has accelerated the return to the use of coal for power generation. What is driving this renewed focus on coal and what does it mean for the long-term decarbonisation of China’s energy market? How can China balance its need for energy security with the green transition?
Join us for this seminar for a deep dive into:
- Opportunities and challenges for China’s renewable energy landscape under the 14th 5 Year Plan
- The main drivers assisting large-scale development of offshore wind power
- The implications of the Ukraine War on China’s energy security and ability to shift to renewable energy
- The key factors behind China’s coal capacity surge in 2022
- Challenges in the procurement of green electricity
