Die eerste windplase, soos ook windlaaiers op plase, had 'n "lattice"-tipe konstruksie.? 'n Probleem daar mee was dat voels neste daarin gemaak het, en dan tydens opstyg of land deur die lemme gekap is.? Die pyp-tipe toring skakel neste uit, maar is duurder.? Die beeld wys hier ook iets van 'n?"lattice"-tipe konstruksie, wat waarskynlik nodig is vir stewigheid en stabiliteit -- veral by 'n drywende stelsel.? So een toets sal wees of voels hulle nest daarin gaan bou!

China's Soaring CO2 Emissions Ending?

???

Its CO2 emissions may soon reach a plateau – but not peak.

"Last year alone, China??than the United States has in its entire history, and connected most of them to its electricity grid.

"Almost two-thirds of big wind and solar plants under construction globally are in China, according to a?. That is more than eight times the wind and solar capacity being planned in the United States."

Why the Era of China’s Soaring Carbon Emissions Might Be Ending

Analysts are seeing promising signs from the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases.

China, the world’s biggest source of planet-warming greenhouse gases for most of the past two decades, is seemingly on the verge of bending its emissions curve from years of steep growth into a flat plateau.

The implications for climate change could scarcely be greater. Since China’s emissions surpassed those of the United States in 2006, China’s global share has grown to almost a third — a huge number, even with population differences taken into account.

A recent spate of data from China’s government, as well as reports by energy analysts, have provided positive signs that while China’s emissions may not decrease significantly, they also may not grow. China’s president, Xi Jinping, had pledged to reach that turning point by 2030.

“The important thing to understand is that when China’s emissions stop growing, it likely follows that the world’s stop growing, too,” said Dave Jones, global insight director at Ember, an energy think tank.

The biggest factor in the shift is changes to how China produces its electricity. In short, renewable sources are replacing coal, the most polluting fossil fuel.

Last year alone, China??than the United States has in its entire history, and connected most of them to its electricity grid.

Almost two-thirds of big wind and solar plants under construction globally are in China, according to a?. That is more than eight times the wind and solar capacity being planned in the United States.

And in May, China generated 53 percent of its electricity from coal, its lowest share since its government began publishing energy data decades ago, while nearly all the rest of it came from non-fossil-fuel sources. “This indicated that China may have peaked” its emissions, said Belinda Sch?pe, a China analyst at the?.

ADVERTISEMENT

However, some observers caution that “peak” was perhaps the wrong word to describe the current trend in China.

“We’ve been talking about whether there’s been a peak for almost a decade,” said Li Shuo, the director of China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute. “Peaking assumes persistent emissions decline after it is passed. That’s not an assumption we can or should make.”

Mr. Li said it was more likely that China’s emissions would plateau. And he cautioned that while growth in renewable energy was responsible for replacing coal in electricity generation, other factors — such as China’s recent real estate crisis and sluggish post-pandemic economy — have led to less consumption of energy overall, which might skew the data downward, but only temporarily.

“If you look at China’s emissions profile of the past two decades, one particular source was hugely significant: real estate and construction, whose supply chain made up about a third of all emissions,” he said. “That’s cooling off.”

More reliable signs have come from recent policy shifts, he said. In particular, a new ban on permits for steel factories that would use coal to fire their blast furnaces could have far-reaching effects. A huge push toward electric-vehicle production has also dampened demand for oil.

ADVERTISEMENT

But, ultimately, China’s emissions trajectory will come down to how quickly renewables can displace coal from its electricity mix. While coal’s share has fallen, China is still investing in it as a power source.

China alone?. In 2023, new coal-plant construction hit an eight-year high in China. If China were to build all the others it has proposed, it would add the equivalent of one-third of its current operating fleet. Today, China accounts for around 60 percent of the world’s coal use.

Some of China’s coal build-out is meant to provide a fallback option for when wind and solar generation dips. But China is?. Pumped hydro is a way to store energy by pumping water uphill to a reservoir during times of low demand for electricity, then releasing it later to generate extra electricity if demand surges.

Those systems could help reduce the demand for coal power during peak times.

Oil and gas are also used in Chinese industry as power sources. But Mr. Li cautioned that while both China’s domestic production of petrochemicals was growing as well as its imports of them, the deciding factor in China’s emissions trajectory will be coal’s decline.

ADVERTISEMENT

In the coming months, China’s government is expected to unveil new commitments to reduce emissions ahead of November’s United Nations-sponsored climate summit, COP 29, in Azerbaijan.

“Diplomatic attention is fixated on the question: Has China peaked or not,” said Mr. Li. “You could imagine that if the answer is yes, so far ahead of schedule, it might give China more reason to be even more ambitious with its reduction targets.”

While I try not use this column to “talk shop”, but rather as a space to share, reflect and ruminate on the economic environment around us, it may be worth wading into what has by now become a messy, one-sided discussion on the appropriateness and envisaged effectiveness of the recently introducedas an enabling, while protective, measure for domestic players to acquire specific capabilities in the value chain.

While I am not in favour of autarky and argue that you do need a generous dollop of duty-free passage of particular imports (used in the production of exports, for instance), the decision on what to do ought to be driven by the balance of evidence rather than a monastic belief in the virtues of free trade. Absent of this evidence free traders forget the true costs of ascendancy and superiority in markets.

China subsidies

Behind every cheap tradable good lies a raft of taxpayer and consumer-funded support. So too lies the debris of those firms that could not compete. China subsidises the fossil-fuelled electricity (40% of the input cost) used by polysilicon foundries, and Europe subsidises agricultural value chains and protects its markets through a raft of technical (and at times non-scientific) barriers.

What then is meant by one commentator’s advice to the new trade minister to “always defer to free trade”, when this seems better placed in a dusty textbook than the cauldron of real economic competition? We are in the throes of a global subsidy race underwritten by both left- and right-wing governments the world over, and parts of the commentariat proffer advice akin to “just give up”??

Over two decades, at least since the White Paper on renewable energy in 2003, the democratic government has sought to pursue not only changes in firm and household consumption of fossil-fuelled energy, but also to marry such shifts to the commercialisation of research into renewables and industrial activities in component assembly and manufacturing for wind, solar, hydro and biofuels.

A tariff in such a policy context, informed by these considerations and the typical trade case (infancy, substantive price disadvantages and low-capacity utilisation) is appropriate. To what degree it may be effective is something else altogether.

The acknowledgment by electricity & energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa that the scale of public demand for renewables is critical to unlock the industrial, technological and skill upgrading opportunities associated with the transition, reflects an understanding of how we can best navigate this transition in a way that recognises we are not inanimate hostages of history.

There are a few likely or expected behavioural responses from key solar exporters arising from the Biden administration’s tariffs, Brussels’ subsidy probe and other measures in key markets that will make access to Chinese solar exports difficult.

Experience shows us that in such a context, along with the declining domestic demand and property crisis in China, it is likely that rising inventories in these sectors and in upstream raw material inputs and precursors may find an outlet in open markets such as SA. For where else, absent relative tariff and other protection, would they send these goods, and at what price??

To avoid protective measures in the developed world Chinese and other investors with sufficient intellectual and industrial capability in renewables may develop joint partnerships and production facilities at different levels of the value chain in countries that are nonaligned and have existing preferential access to developed market economies.

If both behavioural scenarios are likely it is the mark of a placid straw man argument to suggest that tariffs alone would make the second option materialise, while without tariffs the scale and severity of the first option is concerningly likely.

Unfortunately, we cannot be wedded to a monastic faith in free trade, when the counterparties with which we trade have never burdened themselves with the same credo in practice.

But surely, the importation and installation of?5.5 GW* of low-cost solar PV panels has already played an important role in?reducing load shedding, load reduction and the so expensive use of diesel for gas turbines. And is thereby assisting in?mining;?and in the production of?automobiles, other?manufactured goods, and?agricultural produce?– all of which are crucial export commodities or products earning much-needed foreign exchange.

Fruit farmers already use very substantial amounts of solar power for cooling?premium quality fruit for export.

And further such imports at competitive prices will further greatly?stimulate our economy?and exports!

Hy het daar/hier met die PEU skandaal baie miljarde skade berokken, waarvan ons stadsraad na jare se beter (DA) bestuur nog steeds nie herstel het nie.? Maar dit is soos reeds gese^ maar bloot nietige skade vergeleke met wat sy volgens A de Ruyter saboterende voorganger vermag het!

Vergeleke met hernubare son- en windkrag, is en bly kernkrag 'n muggie. Die wereld het reeds sowat 2 TW aan sonkrag opwekkingsvermoe, maar minder as 400 GW (= 0.4 TW) aan kernkragvermoe.? En terwyl kernkrag na dekades nog steeds duurder word, en sowat vyfkeersoveel kos as sonkrag in die VSA, China, Indie, die Emirate ..., word son- en? windkrag steeds goedkoper.? Selfs as stoorkoste bygevoeg word, troef dit steenkool- en kernkrag in SA.
