Coal-fired power plant in Inner Mongolia. The pace at which renewable energy is being developed in China is leading to a slowdown in the approval of new coal-powered projects, according to a new report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air and Global Energy Monitor. However, even though the number of new coal power permits has decreased, the existing pipeline of projects still poses a challenge for China to meet its climate targets and energy transition ambitions, says GEM.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
