China remains the world’s largest energy consumer and CO₂ emitter, with industry driving roughly two-thirds of final energy use and about 70% of energy-related emissions. While non-fossil capacity and NEV adoption are scaling quickly, high oil and gas import dependence and continued fossil power additions create persistent energy-security and carbon lock-in risks.
Kazakhstan is moving toward building three to four nuclear power plants by 2050 to support its 2060 carbon-neutrality goal, relying heavily on external partners for financing and technical delivery. The source suggests water scarcity—amid declining river flows and rising industrial demand—may become the binding constraint shaping feasibility, costs, and regional dynamics.
