China is turbocharging its shift to clean energy, slashing coal use and smashing renewable energy records like a climate superhero 🦸♂️. New data reveals coal’s share in energy consumption fell from 56.8% in 2020 to 53.2% this year, while clean energy sources now power nearly 20% of the country!
⚡ The stats are electrifying: By June 2024, China’s installed renewable capacity hit 2.16 billion kilowatts – that’s enough to charge 300 billion smartphones daily (if anyone even counts those anymore 📱). Renewables now make up 59.2% of total energy capacity, keeping China’s crown as the global green energy leader.
🌍 Analysts say this acceleration puts China on track to meet its 2030 carbon goals early, potentially reshaping global climate efforts. For young professionals and eco-conscious travelers, it’s a sign that Asia’s green revolution is charging full-speed ahead!
