About this event
China’s energy transition is entering a decisive new phase. As the world's largest emitter and a key driver of renewable energy deployment, the country made notable progress during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) towards its dual goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
Yet the transition still faces complex structural challenges. Emissions are shifting towards new industrial sectors, efficiency gains are slowing and system bottlenecks – from renewable integration to limited just transition frameworks – are increasingly shaping the pace of change.
At this event, Agora Energy China and Agora Energiewende presented a new data-driven analysis of developments in 2025-2026 and the outlook for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). We heard leading experts discussing key trends shaping China’s energy transition, including the expected peak in fossil fuel consumption, the shift from rapid renewable expansion to system integration and the growing role of carbon-based climate governance and regulation.
