Renewable energies offer the way ahead

China taking bold steps to replace fossil fuels with clean resources, especially wind and solar power

As fossil fuels are finite resources and the world's current energy mix is harmful to the environment, countries worldwide are making efforts to increase the use of renewable and clean energies, with each nation adopting a different approach.

For China, which relies heavily on coal-fueled power, whether the country will be able to replace coal with renewable energy as its top energy source is vital for the country's transition to a more efficient and lower-carbon energy mix, experts said.
