LONDON — China continues to lead the world in renewable energy generation and clean technologies, said several recent reports released by the global energy think tank Ember.
China met all of its power demand growth in the first half of 2025 through clean electricity generation, while cutting fossil fuel generation and emissions, according to Ember’s Global Electricity Mid-Year Insights.
Remaining the clear frontrunner in global clean energy growth, China accounted for 55 percent of the global rise in solar generation and an 82 percent rise in wind generation, said the report.
