Underutilisation of renewables is spurring China to switch its focus from rapidly building renewable plants to making sure more of their power gets into the grid

While many challenges remain for both countries to sustain their pivot to cleaner energy, the decline in coal-power use marks a 'historic moment', researchers say

The world’s biggest carbon emitter, China, has seen its emissions fall by 1% in the first half of this year, but the news is not as great elsewhere

The jump in wind and solar additions comes after a prolonged slowdown that led India to miss its 2022 renewable energy target

Renewable power generation provided a record 32% of global electricity last year

Researchers say that even a complete overhaul of existing energy systems in favour of renewables would be far less expensive than deploying carbon capture tech

But the world’s second-largest economy still needs to navigate major challenges to meet its overall climate goals — the biggest being a booming demand for power

Experts say Adani's indictment in the US for bribery and fraud is bound to make risk managers at big banks 'nervous' while increasing scrutiny on Indian renewable energy projects

China’s announcement last week on ending export tax rebate means exporters of affecting products — ranging from aluminium to used cooking oil — will look to pass on the resulting extra costs

The International Energy Agency says wind and solar plants are now the cheapest forms of new power in nearly every large country

Chinese companies have pumped in more than $100bn into foreign clean tech projects since 2023, research group says
