Pollution levels from China's mammoth power sector are set to climb to new highs in 2023 as Beijing's efforts to spur growth across the economy result in increased burning of fossil fuels.
The energy sector accounts for roughly 90% of emissions in the country, the world's top polluter, according to the International Energy Agency .
Those pollution totals look set to crank even higher in 2023 as efforts to restore economic momentum trigger coordinated climbs in manufacturing and heavy industry throughout the country. And much of that incremental climb in energy demand is likely to be coal-intensive, as smokestack plants run off their own coal boilers while higher levels of power use by factories will require utilities to raise overall coal-fed baseload energy levels.
And in the case of crude oil refining, the higher refined product output likely reflects targets for more fuel exports rather than real increases in domestic demand.
