China Aims for Carbon Neutrality by 2060 with Renewable Energy Expansion, Including Offshore Wind and Desert Energy Bases

China, the world's largest producer of planet-warming gases, aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Renewable energy projects will be the primary means to achieve this goal. Key initiatives include: * **Offshore Wind Farms:** Expansion of offshore wind energy capacity. * **Desert Energy Bases:** Construction of "new energy bases" in desert regions. Despite these renewable energy efforts, concerns remain regarding China's continued reliance on coal, with plans to increase coal production even during the transition to cleaner energy. A proposed hydropower facility on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet has also raised concerns about potential impacts on downstream water flows.
