What would it take for China to reach carbon neutrality by 2060?
Report summary
Achieving carbon neutrality means offsetting any CO2 emissions produced in the economy. A colossal task for a country using 90% hydrocarbon in its energy mix and annually producing more than 10 billion tonnes of CO2-e, 28% of world total. Wood Mackenzie’s Accelerated Energy Transition scenario (AET-2) shows that China is on a pathway to become carbon neutral by 2060. The analysis envisages complete transformation of how energy is produced and delivered in China by deploying cutting-edge technologies and with strong policy support. Read this insight to find out: - Electrification of energy supply and the share of renewables in power output - China’s emissions trajectory to 2050 and the role of carbon removal projects - Impact on demand for hydrocarbons
