   @leonoverweel we should electrify what we can, but this isn’t possible for all the things. We’ll need efuels for example for flying long distances or shipping or several industries.

     @collectifission agreed but not very relevant to my point I think: China is electrifying, not electrolyzing.

     @collectifission luckily this graph is primary energy, so ~2/3rds of it doesn’t need to be replaced at all because it’s just lost due to the inefficiency of burning fossil fuels :)

     @leonoverweel Don't get me started on the inefficiencies in producing and burning hydrogen 😅

     50,000 TWh is around 1/4 of all energy we use as a species on this planet. It's on another scale, hard to imagine.

     Yes, China had 359 GW of utility scale solar in 2024 and was installing another 277. That's ~1100 TWh annually.

     Yes, China is building 150 new gigawatt scale nuclear power plants until 2035, that's another ~1200 TWh.

     Yes, China has 521 GW of installed wind turbines, this amounts to another ~1400 TWh.

     It all dwarves Western efforts, but amounts to less than 10% of China's energy hunger. So much more is still needed. And this is a moving target as energy consumption is still going up!
