Clean energy technology new driver of growth

Editor's note: The Chinese government has taken measures to promote technological innovation, leading to breakthroughs in industries across the spectrum. Three experts share their views on the issue with China Daily.

An International Renewable Energy Agency report says renewable energy capacity increased by 585 gigawatts, or a record 15.1 percent, worldwide last year, with China being central to this increase, contributing nearly 63.8 percent of the capacity growth.

In fact, 2024 was a historic year for the Chinese economy and its sustainable development, because green technologies contributed an impressive 10.3 percent to China's economic growth, with sales and investments in this sector reaching an impressive 13.6 trillion yuan ($1.89 trillion).
