Moment istoric pentru China: energia solară a depășit cărbunele la capacitate instalată. Cum stă Europa?

China has surpassed coal in installed solar energy capacity for the first time, marking a significant milestone in its energy transition. As of July 2026, solar capacity reached 1,286 GW, slightly exceeding coal's 1,285 GW. Despite this, coal remains a major electricity source, although its production has decreased by nearly 2% in 2025. China's rapid expansion of renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, contrasts sharply with Europe, where installations lag significantly. The country aims to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2060, indicating a shift in its energy landscape, even as it remains the largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
