rapid rebound in economic activities and fossil fuel consumption after the end of zero-COVID policies. However, thanks to the rapid rollout of renewables and a significant reduction in new coal power projects, the most recent projections suggest that China's emissions will peak before 2025, potentially more than five years ahead of its 2030 target, albeit at a higher level. While there are early signs in 2024 that emissions may be starting to decline from the 2023 peak, it remains uncertain how the rest of the year will unfold.</b></p><p data-block-key="dlels"><b>China has surpassed its NDC target for wind and solar capacity six years ahead of schedule, reaching 1,206 GW in July 2024, with forecasts predicting 1,310 GW by year-end. The country's non-fossil power generation capacity now exceeds that of fossil fuels. However, coal remains China’s primary energy source and the largest emissions source.</b></p><p data-block-key="fa7fg"><b>Although coal power permits dropped by 83% in the first half of 2024, new coal plant construction remains high due to the surge in approvals of over 100 GW during 2022-2023. Despite this expansion, coal plant utilisation rates are declining, with coal's share of electricity generation falling to 53% in May 2024 from 60% in May 2023, as renewable energy and hydropower recover.</b></p><p data-block-key="eeav5"><b>The CAT’s overall rating for China’s policies and targets remains “Highly insufficient”.</b></p><p data-block-key="8juan">We estimate China’s 2023 emissions rose 3% to 14.9 GtCO₂e (excl. LULUCF) compared to 2022, driven by increased coal and oil consumption after the economic rebound from its zero-COVID policy, and further compounded by weak hydropower production due to scarce rainfall.</p><p data-block-key="977va">We expect absolute 2030 emission levels to be up by 0.5-1.6%, compared with our previous assessment, reaching 13.8 to 14.6 GtCO<sub>2</sub>e (excl. LULUCF). Our conservative scenario expects China’s emissions to peak before 2025, followed by a slight annual decline of 0.5% for the rest of the decade. An optimistic scenario, with accelerated renewable deployment and coal phase-down, suggests CO<sub>2</sub> emissions could peak as early as 2023, with a steeper annual decline of 1%, resulting in an additional 5% emission reduction, or 750 MtCO<sub>2</sub>, by 2030.</p><p data-block-key="83i45">In both our optimistic and conservative projections, China’s climate and energy policies are currently not expected to be strong enough to drive down emissions in a substantial manner this decade. For a chance to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, it is critically important for China as the world’s largest emitter to rapidly decarbonise in the short-term by implementing more ambitious decarbonisation policies in its next five-year plan (2026-2030).</p><p data-block-key="bovk8">As in previous years, our analysis shows emission levels under domestic policies to be lower than China’s energy-related<a href="https://www4.unfccc.int/sites/ndcstaging/PublishedDocuments/China%20First/China%E2%80%99s%20Achievements,%20New%20Goals%20and%20New%20Measures%20for%20Nationally%20Determined%20Contributions.pdf"> NDC targets</a>. We project China to comfortably overachieve its non-fossil energy share and renewable capacity targets without substantially increasing its mitigation efforts, despite an increased emissions trajectory. China’s wind and solar power capacity has been growing at a record pace, averaging 27% annually over the past five years, surpassing its 1,200 GW target six years ahead of schedule. If China manages to keep up this extraordinary momentum, renewables could meet all its generation capacity demand by 2030, though it would be an enormous challenge.</p><p data-block-key="df3v4">Given China's continued reliance on fossil fuels, even with an average economic growth of 5% per year in 2024-25, the country may still miss its carbon intensity target—a reduction of 18% by 2025 from 2020 levels—because emissions have not been dropping as expected. This risk is compounded by significant economic losses from extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change, exemplified by the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-weather-authority-warns-high-summer-temperatures-2024-07-04/">severe flooding</a> in Guangdong, Henan, and Hunan provinces during the summer of 2024.</p><p data-block-key="992ru">To strengthen its climate policy and to keep emissions in line with its 2060 carbon neutrality target, China could:</p><ul><li data-block-key="4tdo7"><b>Control and reduce fossil fuel dependence,</b> as energy consumption is projected to rise almost 9% from now to 2030. While record rates of renewable deployment are on the verge of meeting growing energy demand, this is not yet able to meaningfully cut fossil fuel consumption and bring down emissions in the medium-term. High-level political signals, including President Xi Jinping’s speech at the 20th CPC National Congress and the <a href="https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202403/13/content_WS65f0dfccc6d0868f4e8e5079.html">2024 Government Work Report</a> from the “Two Sessions” (annual plenary sessions of two of China’s major political bodies), emphasise energy security with coal as a key solution.
