Non-fossil fuel energy sources such as wind, nuclear, solar and hydropower may make up half of China's total power generation capacity by the end of 2022, for the first time ever, the country's electricity council has forecast.
China, the world's biggest greenhouse gases emitter and coal consumer, is expected to add 180 gigawatts of new power generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources during 2022, driving total non-fossil fuel capacity to 1,300 GW, according to a report issued by the China Electricity Council late on Thursday.
The CEC earlier this month said that China's power industry, which causes about 41% of the country's total carbon emissions, could aim to cap its carbon emissions by 2028.
