China's Solar power and green credentials

This surprised me.


China was on track to add 150 GW of Solar power last year. In 2022 they added 87 GW, more than the total capacity of America.
Sinopec reported they have reached peak Gas demand, some experts experts believe they have reached peak total carbon emissions also

Ah, but those new coal plants must be burning the new improved carbonless coal, as apparently they have reached peak emissions. Cool

apparently not. Many are planned, many planned ones are not going ahead.
with their solar power increasing greatly, I would believe that.

"China is the world's biggest coal producer and importer and has more coal-fired capacity under construction than the rest of the world combined.
China is building 136.24 GW of coal-fired generation, and has another 255.5 GW at the announced, pre-permit or permitted stage, according to data compiled by the Global Energy Monitor.
This is 67% of the global coal-fired capacity currently under construction and 72% of the potential new capacity."
