Carbon Brief · United Kingdom · China's 15th Five-Year Plan sets 30% clean-power target and opens industrial decarbonization drive
Carbon Brief's China briefing notes the 15th FYP adopted June 25 lifts the mandatory renewable share in the power mix from 22% to 30% by 2030 and launches a 2026-2028 'intensive campaign for energy conservation and carbon reduction upgrades' targeting steel, cement, aluminium and petrochemicals. The briefing also flags fresh critical-mineral export-control tensions with the West and the concurrent Bangladesh PM visit.
“China's 15th five-year plan targets clean energy at 30% of power generation by 2030, up from 22%, alongside a 2026-2028 intensive campaign on industrial decarbonisation.”
