Comparing China with Other Countries

China’s efforts towards net-zero carbon dioxide emissions are staggering compared to other countries.

• For example, China’s solar capacity spree in 2021 saw it build as much in one year as Germany has over its entire history.

• China’s onshore wind power added in 2021 alone exceeds what the UK, Spain and France have in total.

• Additionally, the 16.9 GW of offshore wind added trumped the UK’s capacity of 10 GW.

According to Muyi Yang, Senior Electricity Policy Analyst at Ember Climate Asia, a think tank, China’s actions signify its commitment to pursuing clean energy. He added that this enormous growth would spill over and present opportunities for Australia, Japan and South Korea to take their offshore wind potential more seriously.

However, when it comes to the share of renewables in total electricity generation, China still lags behind the European Union. But in terms of full capacity, no country can compete with China’s dominance.
