Energy production in China is pitting renewables and coal against each other, while holding back advances in energy production, said a new analysis from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and Global Energy Monitor (GEM). China is both the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide and the largest renewable energy producer in […]
Nearly half of climate experts — 44 percent — believe China’s carbon dioxide emissions may have already peaked, or will peak in 2025 at the latest, according to a new report from think tank Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).

China’s CRRC Corporation Limited (CRRC) has developed the “most powerful” floating offshore wind turbine in the world, according to state news agency Xinhua. The turbine was produced in Yancheng city in Jiangsu Province and has a 20-megawatt (MW) generating capacity. The massive turbine has the ability to generate 62 million kilowatt hours of power annually, […]
Chinese scientists have developed a transpiration energy generator capable of creating electricity using lotus leaves. The generator could turn nearly all leaves on the planet into a continuous and sustainable source of energy. The researchers said their discovery of the leaf transpiration’s hydrovoltaic effect provided “fresh perspective for advancing green energy technologies,” as the South […]
China’s financial hub of Shanghai was hit by Typhoon Bebinca on Monday morning as it made landfall as a Category 1 tropical cyclone. It was the most powerful storm to make a direct hit on the city in over seven decades. The storm packed top wind speeds of 94 miles per hour, the strongest to […]
