  • China's carbon dioxide emissions dropped 1 percent in the first half of 2025 from the same period last year, according to a study by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
  • Emissions from the power sector fell 3 percent, attributed to more renewable electricity from solar power plants, said Lauri Myllyvirta, the study's lead analyst.
  • Despite overall drops, emissions from China's chemicals industry are still rising, adding 3 percent to carbon emissions since 2020, the study noted.
  • China aims to peak emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2060, following its last reported annual decline in 2022 due to the Covid pandemic.
