CERDS Report Says China’s Clean Energy System Tops the Globe

A recent report from the China Enterprise Reform & Development Society (CERDS) has revealed that China now hosts the largest clean energy system in the world. After spending over 2 decades as the world’s largest polluter, China turned it around with major policy support and substantial investments in renewable energy and green tech. The result is a monopoly in green energy and technology production and adoption.

For the past few years, China has consistently added more new green energy capacity than the rest of the world combined. It has monopolized most of the rare-earth metals supply chain and produces most of the world’s solar panels and wind turbines, putting it in the perfect position to adopt renewables and electrification at a cost and pace that most countries simply cannot match.

According to the report, even though fossil-fuels still produce most of the world’s carbon emissions, 2025 represented the least annual increase in carbon dioxide emissions since 2021. In China, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions dropped by 0.5% compared to an increase of 2.4% in the U.S., making the United States the world’s most dominant contributor to increased greenhouse gas emissions.

While the American federal government has gone to extreme lengths to prop up fossil fuels at the expense of renewables, Chinese leaders have spent the past two decades pursuing sustainability with a passion. The Asian nation has invested hundreds of billions of dollars into building out sustainable infrastructure, from solar panels and wind turbines to battery electric cars, while coal’s share of China’s electricity generation fell to 49.7% in H1 of 2026.

CERDS president Peng Huagang says coal is transforming from a primary energy source to a supplementary one that enhances energy security and boosts grid flexibility. By January 2026, global renewable energy capacity had hit 5,149 gigawatts compared to 2.337 billion kilowatts in China, where green energy made up 60.10% of its total installed capacity.

Furthermore, 63% of worldwide clean energy additions came from China, a clear signal of the influence China has on the global energy landscape.

The data shows that China’s clean energy system is significantly superior to the global system. It controls the supply chain that provides critical raw materials, produces most renewable energy infrastructure, has built out the largest network of renewables on the globe, and builds more renewable energy capacity than every other country annually.

The U.S. has an extremely long way to go before it catches up with China, let alone surpass it. For-profit enterprises like American Fusion Inc. (OTCQB: AMFN) are working as best they can to increase clean energy capacity in the country, but in the absence of deliberate policy support, these efforts are just a drop in the ocean of what is required to accelerate the energy transition.
