China, the world's largest coal consumer, generated less than 50% of its electricity from fossil fuels in the six months to June, marking a significant shift in energy mix. The coal share was 49.7%, well below the 65.5% in 2016. This decline comes as China promotes the use of renewable energy, with a deadline for coal consumption to peak no later than 2030.
