A greater demand for clean energy in China to support the industrial sector

The demand for electricity in China has become a major pivotal point in the global battle against climate change, as Chinese demand for clean energy increases at a noticeable pace, but more is needed, according to the American Bloomberg Network.

Reducing emissions in China

As the world’s largest polluting country in the world, China has a significant impact on the issue of whether emissions can be reduced quickly to avoid the worst effects of global global warlords.
China’s adoption of clean energy technology has created hope that it will reach its climax and begins to reduce the emissions of gases that cause global global warming before the date set in 2030.

But this has not yet happened, and this is significantly due to the country’s energy demand grows at an unprecedented speed, which requires burning more coal.

The demand for electricity in China

The use of electricity grew by 6.8 % in the past year, exceeding the total economic growth at the highest pace in at least 15 years.
While China faces a slowdown in the economy and trade tensions that are likely to exacerbate the new US President Donald Trump, the future of energy demand growth remains a huge question mark in China’s efforts to remove carbon.
“The demand for energy and the demand for electricity are the two main factors that influence emissions,” said Lauri Milvesa

Chinese recovery declined

Beijing relied on manufacturing to lead the economic recovery after the end of the Kofid-19 pandemic, as the use of electricity increased faster than the nominal GDP growth in the past three of the past five years after it was late throughout the previous decade.

Carbon removal from the Chinese energy sector

The increasing demand for energy hinders efforts to remove carbon from the energy sector, which represents nearly half of the greenhouse gas emissions in the country.
Even after the standard additions to wind turbine and solar panels, clean energy generation was not sufficient to meet all the increasing demand last year, forcing the thermal power plants to burn more coal and generate about 1.5 % of energy more than it was in 2023.

The future of Chinese industry

The industrial sector was the largest driver of this increased energy demand, as it represents about two -thirds of the use of electricity in China.
This comes despite the low production of steel and cement due to the collapse of real estate. The production of materials such as copper, aluminum and petrochemicals reached high levels of high levels last year using increasing amounts of energy.

The needs of the Chinese economy for electricity

“All of this” makes the economy more intense in using electricity, “said Moy Yang, chief Chinese analyst at the Embber Climate and Energy Research Group.
Other factors also contribute to the growth of energy demand, as the economy has turned into a steady dependence on electricity in recent decades, as electricity or clean gas replaced the coal ovens that were nourishing factories and the warmth of homes.
This is now happening in the transportation sector, as sales of electric vehicles are flourished after the demand for charging electric vehicles jumped by 38% in the past year, representing about 1.1% of the total energy consumption.

The peak Chinese demand for oil

The Chinese National Petroleum Company recently said it expects the demand for oil to reach its climax this year, half a decade before its previous expectations.
Artificial intelligence also has a negative impact, and it is expected that data centers will make up 5% of the total energy consumption by 2030 from about 1.6% in 2023, according to the analysts of the Goldman Sachs group.
