Chinese heg solves the case

Q4: What would it mean for the global climate if China achieved this 80% clean electricity target?
China’s power sector alone accounts for 14% of global energy-related emissions. So, cleaning up China’s power grid would be a giant step toward meeting its carbon neutral goal before 2060. With a clean power system, electrification of buildings, transport, and industry could achieve even more reductions.
China’s achievement would also transform global energy market by reducing the cost of clean energy technologies (clean tech competition) even further. China’s actions at home are likely to inspire other countries to join the race to a clean energy future, further accelerating the global energy transition.
