China's first energy law officially came into force on November 8, 2024. The law aims to ensure national energy security and promote a green and low-carbon transition in the country, which is the world's largest energy producer and consumer. It consists of nine chapters covering various aspects of energy planning, development, market systems, reserves, and legal responsibilities. The law sets goals for advancing carbon peak and carbon neutrality, introduces regulations for measuring carbon emissions, and includes hydrogen energy in national legislation for the first time. It also encourages the use of renewable energy, supports technology innovation, and addresses evolving energy challenges. The law strengthens China's energy security capacity and green low-carbon development level. In 2025, the National Energy Administration plans to promote wind and solar power development and increase renewable energy consumption. Overall, the law provides a clear roadmap for energy security and transition while balancing traditional and new energy sources to meet current and future energy needs.
