China has reached a major milestone in the development of its new energy system with the launch of a large-scale integrated green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol project by China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (Energy China). The first phase of the Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park in Jilin Province has officially entered operation, reinforcing China’s position at the forefront of clean energy industrialization. The project is designed to produce 45,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually, together with 200,000 tons of green ammonia and green methanol. Energy China stated that the first phase is expected to save approximately 600,000 tons ...

China achieved a historic breakthrough in 2024 by installing an unprecedented volume of renewable energy capacity—equivalent to the entire national power grid of Germany in just one year. This milestone highlights the extraordinary speed, scale, and precision of China’s clean energy transformation and further strengthens its position as the global center of renewable energy development. Despite a significant rise in national electricity demand last year, China expanded its clean energy system at record pace. Total electricity consumption increased by roughly 7%, adding around 550 terawatt-hours of new demand. Yet instead of turning back to traditional energy sources, China accelerated its ...

China’s new energy storage capacity has officially surpassed 100 million kilowatts, marking a major milestone in the country’s transition toward a modern, green, and technology-driven energy system. This achievement reflects the nation’s rapid progress in renewable energy innovation and the strengthening of its industrial and technological ecosystem. The announcement was made at the sub-forum on high-quality development of new energy storage, held during the Eighth Hongqiao International Economic Forum in Shanghai on November 5. Building the World’s Most Comprehensive New Energy System According to Song Hongkun, deputy director of the National Energy Administration (NEA), China has successfully built the largest ...

China’s clean energy revolution is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, positioning the nation at the forefront of global green transformation while fueling its own high-quality economic and technological development. According to data from the global energy think tank Ember, China met all of its power demand growth in the first half of 2025 through clean electricity generation — achieving a major milestone in sustainable energy development while cutting fossil fuel usage and emissions. Driving Global Growth in Solar and Wind Power China remains the world’s strongest driving force in renewable energy expansion. In the first half of 2025 alone, the ...

China’s scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking solar technology that could transform the way cities harness renewable energy, a transparent solar window coating capable of powering household devices. This innovation reflects China’s growing leadership in sustainable materials science and its continued drive to integrate clean energy solutions into the fabric of modern life. Developed by researchers at Nanjing University, the new technique uses a colorless liquid crystal coating that captures ambient sunlight and directs it to the edge of the glass, where it can be efficiently converted into electricity. Published in the journal PhotoniX, the study demonstrates how ordinary building windows ...

China’s EVE Energy is taking a major step forward in strengthening China-Europe cooperation in the new energy sector, demonstrating how Chinese innovation is setting benchmarks in the global electric vehicle (EV) battery market. At the 2nd Europe-China New Energy Vehicle Technology Conference held in Munich on September 11–12, 2025, Dr. Richard Zhang, Managing Director of EVE Germany, shared the company’s vision of “Rooted in Europe, Symbiosis and Growth.” His keynote highlighted how China’s technological leadership and sustainability practices are now driving Europe’s transition toward green mobility. As one of China’s leading lithium battery manufacturers, EVE Energy has become a global ...

China is not just participating in the global energy transition, it is leading it. A new report by London-based think tank Ember confirms that China’s manufacturing strength, strategic investments, and long-term vision have made it the driving force behind the world’s clean energy shift, accelerating decarbonization worldwide. China’s government recognized early that the fossil fuel-centered growth model had reached its limits. In response, it committed to building an “ecological civilisation”, a concept enshrined in the Constitution since 2018, that aims to balance economic growth with social and environmental progress. This strategic vision has transformed not just China’s energy landscape but ...

China’s Central New Energy Holding Group has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with EGN, a data centre operator, to jointly advance solar power projects in Oman and explore the possibility of establishing local photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing. Under the agreement, EGN will take the lead in developing an integrated “generation-grid-load-storage” project that places green energy at the centre of operations. This initiative will also incorporate data centres, including infrastructure designed to support artificial intelligence (AI). Central New Energy, meanwhile, will contribute investment, construction, and operation of PV plants, alongside providing integrated energy management services. The two companies highlighted that ...

In the windswept steppes of Uzbekistan, Central Asia’s largest wind power project has quietly gone live, and it is more than just a milestone in renewable energy. The 1 GW Bash-Dzhankeldy wind farm, constructed by China Energy Engineering Group (CEEC), financed through European loans, and developed in partnership with Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power, marks a new stage in the Belt and Road Initiative’s (BRI) evolution. Rather than the debt-heavy, China-financed megaprojects of the BRI’s early years, this development exemplifies a more diversified, multilateral model. European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) loans, backed by French and German state funds, provided ...

China has taken a significant step in aligning its industrial heavyweights with national climate goals by setting renewable power usage mandates for the first time across core sectors, including steel, cement, polysilicon, and data centers. The new directives, released Friday by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), mark a substantial broadening of Beijing’s Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) system. Until now, RPS compliance was primarily limited to firms engaged in power trading and the electrolytic aluminum industry. But under the expanded policy, some of China’s most energy-intensive industries are now required to source a fixed proportion of their electricity from ...
