 A recent study by Carbon Brief and the Centre for Research on Energy and Renewable Air (CREA) shows that China's clean energy industry has hit a major milestone, contributing more than 10 percent to the GDP in 2024. This comes to around $1.9 trillion (13.6 trillion Yuan) in green investments and sales, therefore establishing clean energy as a prominent player in the national economy. This industry has exceeded important sectors like real estate and agriculture as of 2025, therefore underlining China's increasing commitment to a sustainable future.

Driven mostly by the electric vehicle (EV) and battery industries, which alone accounted for over $736 billion in 2024 alone, clean energy's explosive spread in 2025, with an amazing 20 percent annual increase, the industry highlights China's supremacy in EV manufacture and battery technologies. Furthermore, the combined worth of wind and solar power sectors was $508 billion, therefore supporting China's leadership in the world acceptance of clean energy. Another foundation of clean energy infrastructure, rail travel brought in $256 billion, therefore confirming the country's move to a low-carbon economy.

Supported by significant government subsidies, research programs, and foreign partnerships, China's clean energy policies keep accelerating industrial development in 2025. With lofty goals set for reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, the nation's clean energy capability already makes up almost half of its power output. China's exports have also been driven by the worldwide demand for EVs, solar panels, and wind turbines, thereby transforming clean energy into a major engine of economic development. Clean energy has thus become a sustainable industry that will draw investment and increase jobs in 2025.

Now a pillar of China's economic plan, clean energy is driving innovation and sustainability, which will be especially important in 2025. The industry is projected to interact with global markets as it grows progressively, therefore reinforcing China's leadership in the clean energy revolution.
