BEIJING, May 21 (Xinhua) -- From the clear deployment in this year's government work report on accelerating the comprehensive green transition to the rigid target set in the "15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030)" outline of reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 17 percent, and from the full shift to dual control over the total amount and intensity of carbon emissions to promoting the transformation of green industries, China is making green and low-carbon transition a new engine for high-quality development.

Driven by years of technological innovation and investment, China has emerged as a global leader in the green energy industry, with green energy becoming an increasingly important force in the country's green and low-carbon transition.

SOLAR POWER

Large-scale solar power bases and distributed photovoltaic projects across China are rapidly expanding, providing massive clean electricity for residential and industrial use while significantly slashing carbon emissions.

WIND POWER

With vast onshore wind farms across its northern and western regions and rapidly expanding offshore projects along the eastern coastline, China's wind energy not only provides clean electricity to millions of households but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions.

HYDROPOWER

China ranks first globally in both the number of reservoirs and dams and installed hydropower capacity. As an important source of clean energy, hydropower provides a flexible supply of electricity in western China. Building on this foundation, China is making active yet prudent efforts to construct critical hydropower projects on major rivers in the southwest to support the country's green and low-carbon transition.

BIOMASS POWER

Biomass energy is derived from agricultural and forestry waste, livestock manure and organic refuse. China produces about 3.5 billion tonnes of agricultural, forestry and household biomass resources annually. With the rise of clean energy technologies and increasing environmental awareness, China is viewing these materials as a vital part of its energy transition.

GREEN ENERGY IN EVERYDAY LIFE

From aquavoltaic and agrivoltaic projects to rooftop PV systems and public charging piles, green energy is increasingly embedded in the daily lives of Chinese people, bringing the benefits of low-carbon transition directly to communities and households. As green energy access becomes universal in daily scenarios, China's low-carbon transition continues to deliver inclusive and sustainable growth for the long term.
