Abstract

China’s energy system is demonstrably greening at the margins. This is revealed through analysis of the relative proportions between renewable energy sources and fossil fuels as well as nuclear power. The industrial dynamics of the overall transition to a clean energy system are driven by concerns to reduce pollution levels and enhance energy security. In China’s energy revolution, the scale of production drives down costs and expands the market, in a process of circular and cumulative causation. China’s distinctive approach lies in its promoting its energy revolution through industrial strategy and five year plans, with well-formulated targets and their shaping of investment strategies. China’s energy revolution not only involves building new renewable industries but also tackling the challenge of reducing energy consumption in key energy-intensive industries.
