The People’s Republic of China is currently the world’s largest market for renewable energy, although it remains the world’s largest consumer of coal and, consequently, the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide. The nation still relies heavily on oil and gas exports for its industrial needs. Therefore, expanding low-carbon energy supply sources and capacities must be a priority in the short term to consolidate its socio-economic development by 2050. The Asian giant’s challenges will be closely linked to boosting its energy security. Thus, its sustained economic growth will be associated with increasing its endogenous capacities in the field of clean and sustainable energy.

目前，中国是全球最大的可再生能源市场，但同时仍然是最大的煤炭消费国，因此也是全球最大的二氧化碳排放国。该国仍然在很大程度上依赖于石油和天然气出口来满足其工业需求。因此，从短期来看，扩大低碳排放的能源供应来源和能力应该作为一个前提，以确保其在2050年之前实现社会经济发展。中国的挑战和问题与增强其能源安全密切相关。因此，其经济持续增长与其在清洁可持续能源领域的内生能力增强密切相关。
