Overcoming the Challenges of China’s Clean Energy Transition

While the world debates the pace of energy transitions, China is becoming the world’s clean energy leader. It has taken a demonstrable lead in the shift to renewables, replacing many sources of fossil fuels with cleaner power amidst increasing energy demand. In fact, China’s clean energy industry has become a key driver of the national economy. It accounts for more than 11% of the country’s GDP, with renewables like solar, hydro and wind power significantly outpacing global averages.
