China has made significant progress in improving air quality since the 'airpocalypse' era, but a recent surge in coal power usage during wartime conditions has led to increased emissions. An FT analysis highlights both the extensive clean-up efforts and the latest rise in pollution levels.

Australia is rapidly adopting renewable energy, becoming the third-largest importer of Chinese batteries. In March, it accounted for nearly 10% of new global battery capacity, with 2,000 home batteries installed daily. The shift is driven by unreliable coal power and poor state connectivity, requiring batteries to stabilize solar energy supply.

A study warns that El Niño could lead to an increase in coal power usage in India. The phenomenon may exacerbate energy demands, potentially resulting in a surge of coal-based electricity generation.

China’s power-sector emissions fell in 2025 for the first time in a decade, but coal-fired generation rebounded in early 2026, raising doubts about the sustainability of the decline despite record renewable energy growth.
