The Energy Policy Tracker has finished its first phase of tracking related to the Covid-19 recovery. Our dataset for 2020-2021 is complete. A new dataset on energy policies in the context of multiple crises will be launched in the coming year.

China

In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, China has committed at least USD 55.47 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:

  • At least USD 17.02 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 10 policies (6 quantified and 4 unquantified)
  • At least USD 2.64 billion for conditional fossil fuels through 3 policies (2 quantified and 1 unquantified)
  • Some public money committed for unconditional clean energy (2 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
  • At least USD 27.94 billion for conditional clean energy through 11 policies (6 quantified and 5 unquantified)
  • At least USD 7.87 billion for other energy through 1 policy (1 quantified)

By energy type, China committed at least USD 5.53 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 4.69 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 837.27 million to conditional oil and gas).

In addition, China committed at least USD 14.13 billion to coal (at least USD 12.33 billion to unconditional coal and at least USD 1.80 billion to conditional coal).

Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.

Finally, no public money commitments identified for multiple fossil fuels.

A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of China through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.

These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

This will incentivize them to improve efficiency. The emission trading scheme (ETS) will initially only cover the thermal power industry, which last year accounted for about 40% of China’s emissions. That sector in of itself is responsible for twice the emissions of the EU carbon market, until now the world’s biggest. The ETS scheme does not put a cap on carbon emissions though. Rather, it imposes carbon intensity limits for every unit of electricity a power plant generates. Operators whose plants are below the benchmark will be able to sell their carbon credits and those that go beyond the threshold will need to buy additional credits.

China National Clean conditional Investments in electric vehicle charging infrastructure Mobility Multiple energy types Budget or off-budget transfer ... 1449065352.8474 2020041010/04/2020 Energy use (all energy types, consumption in transport, household use, buildings etc) Government Primary: ease the burden of struggling automakers and reverse the downward trend in sales Secondary: step up efforts to maintain the country's global leadership in the EV adoption race 10000000000 This is a key stimulus measure to increase by 50 precent the electric vehicle charging network in China from its current level. This should enable 600,000 new charging points to be built in 2020. China is behind its original target of reaching 4.8 million charging points to accommodate 5 million EVs on the roads by 2020. Germany is also currently providing more subsidies to EVs than China in a bid to outrun it in the EV race. As part of its development plan for the new-energy vehicle industry, China also set the goal that by 2021 at least 80 per cent of all public sector vehicles – including buses, taxis and municipal trucks – operating in ecological pilot zones and areas with high levels of air pollution would be driven by clean energy.
