Since 2019 China’s energy system seems to be undergoing significant shifts.

"Despite the significant progress achieved under the REPowerEU Plan and via sanctions since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in 2024 the EU saw a rebound in Russian gas imports," the EC said. "More coordinated actions are therefore needed, as the EU's overdependency on Russian energy imports is a security threat."

Стороны обсудили энергетическое сотрудничество во всех отраслях топливно-энергетического комплекса. Ключевой темой встречи стали перспективы расширения поставок российских энергоресурсов в КНР. Были отмечены достигнутые результаты по поставкам природного газа из России в Китай.

As of end- 2024, coal-fired power represented 37% of China’s installed capacity but 60% of its power generation.

The Trump administration has argued coal is a vital part of the mix to ensure sufficient energy supply to meet booming demand for AI data centers. The carve-out, which begins in July 2027, lasts until July 2029, according to the proclamation.

Despite a strong start to the solar season in Europe, and record amounts of cheap new renewable capacity in Germany since the energy crisis, it’s natural gas that will increasingly decide how much households and factories in Europe’s biggest economy pay for electricity.

The IEA projects power demand from data centers to double by 2030. While renewable energy capacity is also set to increase, especially in Europe, the intermittent supplies provided by wind and solar won’t be sufficient.

Одной из основных задач Программы является сохранение объемов экспорта угольной продукции и привлечение в отрасль инвестиций, необходимых для обеспечения добычи угля.

India’s energy landscape is a study in contrasts. On one hand, the country is a global leader in renewable energy adoption, with ambitious targets for solar and wind power. On the other, coal remains the backbone of its energy mix, accounting for 55% of the national energy supply and over 74% of power generation.

In the global race to achieve net-zero emissions, India stands at the threshold of a transformative clean energy revolution. Green hydrogen, a fuel produced through water electrolysis using renewable sources, has captured attention for its immense potential to cut carbon emissions and drive economic growth.

Основной темой встречи стало сотрудничество в нефтяной, газовой, угольной, электроэнергетической и атомной отраслях. Было отмечено, что взаимодействие в энергетической сфере является стратегическим направлением сотрудничества между Россией и Турцией.

Глава Минэнерго России отметил перспективы создания газового хаба в Турции. В свою очередь, турецкая сторона выразила заинтересованность в привлечении российских компаний к реализации проектов в области газовой и угольной энергетики.

China remains the biggest buyer of Russian coal but Moscow has said India may overtake it by the start of the next decade as Beijing plans cutbacks on coal usage for power generation.

Electricity being the key driver for rapid economic growth and poverty alleviation sets the target of providing access to all households.

Russia ranks third globally in coal reserves (182 billion tons) and is the sixth-largest coal producer in the world (accounting for 4.5% of global coal production). Russia’s coking coal is typically used in metallurgy production such as steel manufacturing.
