According to Xie, “1” means the overall guideline for carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, while “N” refers to policies addressing sectors and regions. Xie Zhenhua, China’s special envoy for climate change, said in July that the plan, also known as “1+N,” will be an answer to questions over China’s official timetable to achieve its climate goals. It’s also just days before the start of a vital round of the United Nations-backed climate talks in Glasgow, where nations will need to boost their ambitions in order to keep to the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to 1.5✬ from pre-industrial levels within reach. It follows by a few weeks President Xi Jinping’s announcement that the country will stop building overseas coal power plants. The plan doesn’t alter any of the top-line targets that China has been pursuing, but offers several new details on sectors ranging from hydropower to construction and oil refining. But the focus quickly shifted to how that can be achieved and the details released on Tuesday fill in some of the gaps in the road map to reaching that ambitious goal. China drew international praise for its announcement last year that it intends to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. The plan from the State Council, China’s cabinet, was promised in March by Premier Li Keqiang. (Bloomberg) - China has released its official road map for capping carbon emissions before 2030, delivering details on the country’s climate push that have been eagerly awaited by environmentalists and captains of industry alike. , Photographer: Kevin Frayer/Getty Images AsiaPac China's government has officially committed to development of renewable energies to ease the country's dependence on coal and other fossil fuels, though its strategic investments in the solar panel have created intense global competition. Greenpeace estimates that by 2030, renewable energy could replace fossil fuels as China's primary source of power, a significant change in a country considered the world's biggest polluter. Still, the country now buys half of the world's new solar panels which convert sunlight into energy, and are being installed on rooftops in cities and across sprawling fields in rural areas. China is now home to two-thirds of the world's solar production, though capacity and consumption remain low relative to its population.
Capacity in China hit 77 gigawatts in 2016 which helped a 50% jump in solar power growth worldwide. China consumes more electricity than any other nation, but it is also the world's biggest producer of solar energy.
