China's clean energy investment totaled 625 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, accounting for one-third of the global market share, according to a report on China's energy ecology released on Saturday.
The report was unveiled at the 2025 Energy Industry Ecological Forum held in Beijing, showcasing a series of achievements in China's energy transition.
As the world's largest energy consumer and clean energy investor, China has maintained its position as the global leader in installed capacities of photovoltaic and wind power for the 10th consecutive year. This has significantly contributed to its global renewable energy share, which has risen from 18 percent in 2010 to 32 percent in 2024.
In terms of energy structure, the share of non-fossil energy consumption in China has increased from 9.4% in 2010 to 18.3% in 2024, with the proportion of coal-fired power generation capacity dropping below 40% for the first time.
In the area of industrial chain self-sufficiency, China's photovoltaic industry has achieved full domestic production on both polysilicon and modules.
The wind power industry now controls over 70 percent of the global market share in key components. In comparison, the production of new energy vehicles accounts for 60 percent of the world's total output.
In terms of technological innovation, China has reached international leadership in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, smart grids, and hydrogen storage and transportation technologies.
The installed capacity of new energy storage has increased fivefold since 2022, continuously injecting momentum into the acceleration of a new energy system.
China's clean energy investment in 2024 accounts for 1/3 of global share
