NEW in China Carbon market The environment ministry just released a notice on work plan related to national ETS in 2025: setting key dates for data MRV, submission and compliance, for both the power sector and the newly included three industry sectors

China's power generation from coal&gas fell 2% on year in March, as growth in solar, wind and nuclear power generation more than covered all demand growth. Increase in hydropower generation, which is more related to seasonal variation, came on top and helped push fossils down.

JUST IN: President Trump lists what constitutes non-tariff cheating

Xi Jinping told other world leaders in a closed-door meeting that they must "enable the free flow" of cleantech "so all countries, especially...developing countries, can access them" He also confirmed 🇨🇳 NDC will cover all GHGs and come out before COP30 news.cctv.com/2021/04/22/ART…

❗🇨🇳 prohibits building new coal-fired power plants that "do not comply with national regulations" (AKA "low-carbon coal" plants would still be OK) Also banned: 1️⃣ New coal-fired heating in areas with district heating 2️⃣ Captive coal plants news.bjx.com.cn/html/20250424/…

🇨🇳 issued a plan to manage HFCs, a GHG 12000x stronger than CO2. Will it bring down emissions? Plus 📣 Xi doubles down on climate 📈 Renewables top fossil fuels 🌊 China slams Trump's deep-sea mining EO Read more in my @carbonbrief China Briefing⬇️ carbonbrief.org/china-briefing…

China's push to build a Great Green Wall has spurred more hay fever cases. Here's what its governments are doing to combat this. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

From me and Giuliana A. Viglione, PhD: China's farm equipment emissions have risen 7x since 1985, and could make it hard for the country to meet its carbon targets, according to a new study

NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell ~1.6% in the first quarter and have now been flat or down for more than a year. This is the first time on record that emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand.

What do people in Shanxi, the coal heartland of China, think about climate change? I spoke with Tom Wang about his survey of 10,000 Shanxi residents about whether they supported, and were prepared for, the energy transition Read our conversation here ⬇️ carbonbrief.org/interview-what…

NEW - In my latest @carbonbrief China Briefing, I spoke with Tom Wang about how China's coal heartlands view the energy transition Plus: 📉 China's CO2 emissions fall due to clean energy 🌅 Drought hits China's wheatfields 🌎 China-CELAC climate diplomacy carbonbrief.org/china-briefing…

📍1 June 2025 marks the beginning of a NEW chapter in China's Solar and Wind policy: The market-oriented electricity pricing will apply to new projects via a mechanism similar to Contract for Differences 3 provinces issued draft implementation rules and 'mechanisms tariffs'

In 2024, China🇨🇳's total renewable generation grew TWICE as much as it every had done before. It added 494TWh - that's the total electricity demand of Germany🤯

Battery swapping is now infrastructure. In China, fleets swap in 3 mins, cut costs, and keep moving. CATL sees swapping as more than EV power—it could reshape the energy grid. The real question: who controls the system? substack.com/@techbuzzchina…

Wow ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ 🇨🇳 198 GW new solar capacity was added in China from January to May 2025 +93 GW alone in the month of May as developers rushed before the new RE pricing policy kicks in

Guizhou Rongjiang suffered a severe flood and the shopping mall was submerged

Many months of newbuilds that originally would have been distributed over the second half of the year all got jammed into May before the big deadline on June 1. Now in June, we get to see how much solar PV developers will still want to build with the feed-in-tariff gone...
