US EditionChina’s Green Push May Cut Global Fossil Use by 2030, Says Ember
China's investment of US$625 billion in clean energy in 2024 is accelerating global fossil fuel decline and proving economic growth can align with green goals, Ember says.
- On Tuesday, Ember warned the world's fossil fuel demand is likely in structural decline by 2030, driven by China's rapid renewable rollout and electrification, which shape global decarbonisation.
- Last year, China poured $625 billion into clean energy, nearly 31% of the global total, with its clean energy industries adding $1.9 trillion to national output through combined deployment and export policies.
- In the first half of 2025, China's solar and wind generation exceeded power demand growth, cutting fossil generation by 2%, while energy storage tripled to 2024 and grid investments hit a record $85bn.
- Emerging countries now benefit from cheap Chinese clean-tech, enabling them to leapfrog the United States on electrification and bypass fossil fuels, while governments reliant on coal, oil and gas face mounting risks as demand declines.
- Dr Muyi Yang said, `China is now the main engine of the global clean energy transition` as Sam Butler-Sloss noted its fossil fuel demand peaks, shifting global trends.
