Will CHINA be able to overcome its COAL ADDICTION? - VisualPolitik EN

China is the most polluting country in the world and also the largest energy consumer. It’s precisely for this reason that the Asian giant plays a key role in meeting the Paris Agreement’s climate objectives. And in order to reach those objectives, decreasing its coal-based energy is fundamental.

However far from decreasing its dependence on coal, China continues to build new plants that are powered by this raw material. And that raises some questions: can China survive without coal? Are they doing anything about it? What alternatives do they have? In this video, we’ll tell you why China is addicted to coal and the Chinese government’s plans to overcome that situation.
