China’s coal power consumption to halt growth by 2025

Non-fossil fuel sources will dominate the country’s power mix by around 2045.

The consumption of electricity generated from coal-fired power plants in China is expected to stop increasing by around 2025, with oil demand expected to peak before 2027, according to the China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec).

Sinopec presented the findings of its reports about China’s energy, hydrogen, and chemical industry outlook at a press conference in Saudi Arabia.

During the presentation, Sinopec also stated that natural gas use is expected to increase and peak by 2040, with non-fossil energy seen to dominate that country’s total energy supply by around 2045.

Meanwhile, the country’s hydrogen energy consumption is expected to reach nearly 86 million tonnes by 2060, bringing the industry’s worth to (RMB4.6t).

The share of non-fossil fuel use for hydrogen production is also expected to reach 93% during the same period, led by solar and wind which will contribute two-thirds of the production.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
