In the prairies of China's vast Inner Mongolia region, panels for PV modules and turbines for wind farms jostle for space and attention in what was once a barren land. Electricity is generated continuously from the sun and the wind in the region for onward transmission across the country, marking another feather in China's ongoing efforts to cut carbon emissions. Ten years ago, renewable energy accounted for just 2.7% of the total electricity output. However, by the end of 2021, the same had risen to 18.5%. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, total renewable energy installation capacity in the country exceeded 11,000 GW by the end of last year, with China the clear global leader in hydro, wind, PV and biomass power generation.
