Lauri Myllyvirta, Senior Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute and Lead Analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), spoke to CGTN Europe, discussing the recent decline in China’s CO₂ emissions from the power sector due to the growth of solar and wind energy and the electrification of transportation. He emphasized, however, that global carbon neutrality is still necessary to halt the rise in atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. China has committed to peaking its CO₂ emissions before 2030, and the next few years will be crucial.br According to Myllyvirta, the clean energy boom has reached a scale where it can both meet China’s growing electricity demand and reduce fossil fuel consumption. This progress is significant, China’s emissions are stabilizing even as energy use continues to grow, but further advances are still needed in other parts of the world, such as India.
