China Energy

China is fueling its phenomenal economic growth with huge quantities of coal. The environmental consequences reach far beyond its borders—China is second only to the United States in greenhouse gas emissions.

Expanding its supply of other energy sources, like nuclear power and imported oil, raises trade and security issues. Soaring electricity demand necessitates the construction of over 40 GW of new capacity per year, creating sustained financing challenges.

While daunting, the challenge of meeting China's energy needs presents a wealth of opportunities, particularly in meeting demand through improved energy efficiency.

The China Energy Group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is committed to understanding those opportunities, and to exploring their implications for policy and business. We work collaboratively with energy researchers, suppliers, regulators, and consumers in China and elsewhere
