Climate Change and Renewable Energy News and Discussion

i compiled power generation #s for China in the first half based on what I can find online


And then in the follow up, I calculated carbon emissions to be up 3.7% YoY for Jan-May. I think this is not bad given that large parts of China was locked down in April/May last year. Ground transportation shows 8.5% higher emissions despite increased EV ownership. I think that is strictly due to people being locked down and unable to drive during lock down time. I do anticipate ground transportation emissions to collapse over the next fe years.

Similarly, a lot of new solar/wind project are probably not fully connected to the grid. So when they do get connected, I expect the power emissions to also come down

Mingyang got a pretty decent sized project with basf

first half wind data out of China


Really low cost right there across the board. Goldwind is dying imo. Sany is the rising star

In contrast, this is how well offshore wind is doing in America.


Chinese offshore wind project just has such a price advantage. Not only that, it's the entire ecosystem with the high voltage cables, the piles that you put the towers on. The equipment that ship the turbines out and install. The inspection and repairs equipment and vessels. For floating turbines, you have the things that keep them from floating away

How much sales are chinese wind turbine manufactures making on the global market? Are there any major American/European/Africa/SEA/South American buyers of chinese wind turbines?

of course, goldwind, envision & Mingyang all have export orders. Mngyang is exporting some of their 16MW offshore turbines to Europe. They are the market leader

Not only that, Chinese suppliers also supply underwater cables and offshore turbine piles

Solar panels from china is rescuing south Africa from constant blackouts. More than 1 gw installed in 2 months.

a lot of H2 capacity going up in Inner Mongolia right now


Growth is unbelievable
