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.

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.
