China's Coal Consumption Reaches Record High in First Half of 2025 Despite Renewable Energy Growth

A recently published environmental research report has revealed that China combusted record levels of coal in the first half of 2025. The joint report found that even though the country's renewable energy capacity has expanded significantly, coal-fired power plants in China burned more coal in H1 2025 compared to any other six-month period since 2016.

This record coal consumption occurs despite China's position as home to some of the leading electric vehicle manufacturers that are competing with American rivals like Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI). The disparity between China's clean technology development and its increasing reliance on coal-fired power raises questions about the overall environmental impact of the country's energy transition. The continued dependence on coal undermines the potential climate benefits of electric vehicles and other clean technologies being developed within the country.

The findings highlight the complex challenge facing global climate efforts, particularly in nations undergoing rapid industrialization and economic growth. China's record coal consumption suggests that the transition to renewable energy sources, while progressing, is not happening quickly enough to offset growing energy demands. This has significant implications for global carbon emissions targets and climate change mitigation efforts worldwide.

The report's findings come at a critical time for global climate negotiations and energy policy discussions. As the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China's energy consumption patterns have far-reaching implications for international climate goals and the pace of global warming. The record coal usage indicates that despite progress in renewable energy deployment, fossil fuels continue to dominate the country's energy mix, presenting challenges for both domestic air quality and global carbon reduction targets.
