Climate, energy experts more confident about China peaking carbon emissions earlier, CREA survey finds - SCMP

Quick Summary:

Experts are more confident about China’s carbon reduction progress and outlook than last year, according to a joint survey published on Tuesday by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air and the International Society for Energy Transition Studies.

This is especially driven by the increased uncertainty about China’s coal consumption peaking, as Beijing has rapidly expanded coal power production over the past year, citing energy security concerns.“Essentially, all of China’s carbon-dioxide emissions growth has come from the power sector in the past years,” said Lauri Myllyvirta, the lead analyst at CREA.“When emissions from their electricity use are excluded, emissions from industry and buildings have fallen faster than emissions from transport have increased.“This means that the most important way to peak emissions, or at least limit emissions increases, is to maintain the impressive growth in clean electricity generation.
