-- China’s energy use per person surpassed Europe ’s for the first time last year as demand from technology and manufacturing industries continued to climb.‘I Live in Hell’: Anti-Growth Fervor Grips US South After Pandemic BoomThe country ramped up coal-fired generation, but also added more renewable capacity than the rest of the world combined, according to the Energy Institute’s annual Statistical Review. That means the carbon intensity of its energy is actually falling.
There’s mounting evidence that dependence on fossil fuels in major advanced economies may have peaked. In Europe last year, they accounted for less than 70% of primary energy for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, thanks to lower demand and renewables growth, according to EI.

For the first time, the country consumed more of the polluting fuel than Europe and North America combined, according to the statistical review.
