You supposedly think that China is not working as a clean energy producer due to its major problems with smog by continuously depending on coal power to generate energy, but you should reconsider your views after reading the following section. The National Energy Administration of the country has announced that its production from solar energy had become more than double in the year 2016 by hitting 77.42 Giga-watts by the end of the year. So, in the term of capacity, China would become the biggest solar energy producer in the world. It shouldn’t be compared according to the population because Germany, Japan and the United States have the capability to beat it easily.
For the time being, solar energy has been considered as a drop in the bucket of China because it is presenting only 1 percent of the entire energy output in the country. Moreover, the NEA has planned to add more than 110 Giga-watts by the end of 2020. It would provide much greater role to the technology within a couple of years. It will also support China in increasing its usage of non-fossil fuel power from 11 percent up to 20 percent at the end of 2030. It is important that every country doesn’t have the ability to compete with these advancements. Even if you compare according to the population benefit, China has large regions that are friendlier regarding to the solar energy farms. So, China is putting a pressure on the world regarding this technology.
