💰 $USD 1,800,000,000,000 ($1.8T) is the estimated global investment for clean energy ⚡in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). ➕ This is a 40% increase since 2020. ➖ Only about 15% of the investment was from emerging economies. 🇨🇳 The near 85% was from advanced economies and China. From the IEA: "To get on track for limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, clean energy investment in emerging and developing economies outside China needs to increase more than sixfold, from $USD 270 billion today to $USD 1.6 trillion by the early 2030s." Meanwhile the cost per kilowatt of annual capacity has dramatically fallen with China leading the charge. Manufacturing ability, government support, abundant labor, overcapacity and competition are several factors listed. This includes the cost of Solar PV, Wind Energy, Electrolyzers, Heat pumps and #batteries 🔋 Image curtesy of the #wallstreetjournal Source article: https://lnkd.in/dmtDKCTh #iea #international #cleanenergy #investment #china #emergingeconomies #greentech #solar #pv #windenergy #electrolyzers #manufacturing

Congratulations China The best world with China isn't for the USA and China to be bomb building buddies. It is for the USA and China to use China's soon excess PV building capacity to supply countries that import Oil from countries including the USA and RUSSIA with a path to energy independence. A millennium of triumvirate strongman governance, energy supply and gun maker autocracy is ending because of BS killing AI and our atmosphere not being able absorb more combustion exhaust. #energytransition #energyindependence #peaceandprosperity

China has a habit of beating its targets. And often it doesn't just beat the target, it smashes it out of the park, like this one. In December 2020, Chinese president Xi Jinping made two significant climate announcements. He said China would be carbon neutral by 2060 and set a target for the country to have 1,200 GW of #wind and #solar installed by 2030. At the time, China had about 450 GW of wind and solar installed, split fairly evenly between the two. Over the previous few years, it had been averaging around 60 GW of new wind and solar capacity per year. And back then (just 3½ years ago!) 1,200 GW was an unimaginably large number. It wasn't far off how much wind and solar the entire world had ever installed. The acceleration since then has been remarkable. A record breaking 2023 saw China sail past 1,000 GW and it is expected to have around 1,310 GW of wind and solar installed by the end of this year. So the target will be met well before the end of this year. That's under 4 years to reach a 10-year target 👏 And it doesn't end there. A new report from GlobalData forecasts that China will exceed the target by a significant margin, reaching 2,400 GW by 2027 and 3,500 GW by 2030 - nearly triple the target. The impact of this surge in renewable energy is starting to show up in emissions data, with early signs emerging that China's emissions may have peaked last year. In March, China's CO2 emissions were down 3% and in May, thermal power output (mostly coal) was down 4.3% YoY. This is encouraging. Onwards and upwards! #energy #sustainability #renewables #energytransition

This is big news and has two big implications: 1. Every solar panel and wind turbine installed in China reduces the cost of them around the world as the learning curves work their magic. 2. Every GWh of renewable energy in China reduces the need for coal and, by extension, the LNG that some propose should replace it. Even as the West and China remain at odds on innumerable issues, the shifts in global energy markets that they are creating will be felt here at home - and, thankfully, often in good ways.

We se this transition in the LCA supply grid data. Australia and US have a long way to catch up given fracking and oil sands/shale extraction for fossil fuels have us/them dramatically backwards!

We're on a dangerous path. Governments need to stop dragging their feet and accelerate the transition away from #FossilFuel. Each of us have a role to play in calling for this change. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that we will miss the goal of tripling renewable electricity by 2030, crucial for moving away from fossil fuels. Despite agreements, current policies will only roughly double capacity, far short of the 11,000GW needed. Key Actions Needed: - Incorporate Renewable Targets: Governments must integrate ambitious renewable goals in their climate action plans (NDCs). - Upgrade Grids: Modernise electricity grids to handle more renewable energy. - Increase Climate Finance: Boost financial support for developing countries to enhance their renewable plans. There is some good news though... Last year, we saw a record 64% increase in renewable capacity, driven by cheaper solar and wind energy. China alone added more new capacity than the rest of the world combined. What about China, right? Imagine if all nations matched this pace! We have the technology. We have the capability. The only thing that's missing is the willpower. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #IEA #ClimateCrisis

Global Energy Investment Trends 2024: Surge In Fossil Fuels, Rising Commitments To Clean Energy Investment in fossil fuels is expected to continue rising in 2024, with commitments to low-emission fuels growing rapidly but still from a very low base. Despite significant shifts in power sector investment toward energy transitions, fuel supply investment remains predominantly focused on fossil fuels, driven by a robust demand as the world recovers from disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Investors are faced with multiple potential energy futures, each impacting fuel supply projects differently. Upstream oil and gas spending is projected to increase by around 7% in 2024, reaching USD 570 billion.

China's state economic planning body has unveiled a plan to retrofit existing coal-fired power generation units and construct new ones with advanced emission control technology from 2024 to 2027 as part of the country's ongoing efforts to curb carbon emissions and achieve its net zero target. By end-2027, with more advanced technologies introduced, the carbon emissions per kWh of power generation from the relevant projects are expected to be about 50% lower than the average level of similar coal power units in 2023 and approaching the carbon emission levels of natural gas power units, NDRC said.

This week marks a pivotal moment in the global energy landscape as analysis suggests that China’s CO2 emissions may have peaked in 2023, with projections indicating a decline in 2024. With economic superpowers like China taking decisive steps toward achieving #NetZero, we could be on the brink of a significant shift in global #Decarbonisation efforts. China has reached record levels of low-carbon energy installations, embracing wind, solar, and a resurgence in hydroelectric power, positioning the nation for a sustained decline in emissions beginning in 2024. This not only underscores China’s ongoing commitment to clean energy investment but also signals a significant economic transition in the global effort towards achieving net zero. As the world's largest emitter, China's falling emissions paired with their renewed investment in #RenewableEnergy solutions sets an example for other nations; investing in #CleanTech is a secure economic strategy. The decline in China's emissions alongside its increasing #GreenInvestment signifies a huge economic shift towards a decarbonised future.

China's energy trajectory will have a pivotal global impact, according to this RMI analysis, when China's fossil fuel demand peaks, it will signal a peak for the rest of the world. The OECD (some of the world's largest economies) countries have already passed their peak and are on a path of accelerating decline. China, drove two-thirds of fossil fuel demand growth in the past decade and is projected to reach its peak soon and then experience a rapid decline. China plays a critical in the global energy transition. Its ability to effectively manage its energy mix and promote cleaner alternatives will have far-reaching implications for the rest of the world. A concerted effort by China to accelerate its transition to renewable energy sources could catalyze a significant global shift towards a more sustainable energy landscape. #Cleanenergy #Fossilfuel #Renewables #climatefinance

Solar PV Evangelist. I help individuals to make sense of solar PV and confirm if it is the right fit for their business.
"What about China?" they say. Yes, what about China... I cannot count the times that I have seen this red herring when there is a discussion on LinkedIn (or elsewhere) about the need to reduce emissions in North America. It almost always comes back to how small we are (globally, forget emission intensity where we rule them all!) and that China is a laggard and this is reason enough to embrace a "do-nothing" approach. BUT, what if they were all wrong (surprise)? Per Ian Palmer via Forbes, "It seemed as if China was dragging its feet. But now this is all changing, and its changing fast. China is starting to do a backflip. China’s designs for the energy transition have been analyzed in 2024 by DNV (Ref 1). For example, DNV state that China’s electrical power will grow from 30% renewables now to 55% by 2035, and 88% by 2050. In 2022 about 40% of global solar and wind capacity, separately, were installed by China. And DNV predict that this will continue through 2050." "From 2030 to 2050, solar and wind will increase from 7% to 41%, a multiple of 7 times. At the same time, fossil fuels will fall by half, from 83% to 44%." So, what about China? Let's stop with the logical fallacies and get after it. There are positive sum solutions to be had, this is not a zero sum game. How about we stop pretending that it is/must be. https://lnkd.in/ddu3-ve5 Danielle Smith Brian Jean Rebecca Schulz Nathan Neudorf
