China clean tech exports to cut global emissions by Brazil-sized amount in 2026
CREA said 450 million metric tons of carbon dioxide will be avoided this year as Chinese solar, wind and battery exports expand abroad.
- On Thursday, the Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air reported that China's 2026 clean-tech exports will avert 450 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, roughly equivalent to Brazil's yearly fossil fuel emissions.
- The energy crisis from the Iran war is driving surging demand for renewables, prompting countries in the Global South to increase imports of Chinese clean energy equipment and decarbonize fossil-heavy grids.
- Electric vehicle exports surged 61% in 2026, with the total value hitting $72.8 billion, up from $39.7 billion last year, according to research firm Atlas Public Policy; wind turbine and solar shipments also grew significantly.
- Over their lifetime, these exports will avert 8,400 million metric tons of CO2, representing about 24% of annual global emissions. Lauri Myllyvirta of CREA called this a "pivot point for the outlook of global energy."
- Ahead of next month's COP31 climate summit, Southeast Asia nations are increasingly adopting clean energy policies. Zero Carbon Analytics researcher Sun Chin described this trend as a "paradigm shift" in limiting regional temperature rises.
