The region will need to change its industrial structure and energy mix to meet national carbon targets, requiring policy and financial support from central government. Energy authorities in Inner Mongolia are aiming to connect 50 gigawatts of renewable power to the grid by 2025. If it benefits, it has to help cut carbon.

There is talk that a global “hydrogen economy” can emerge to save the climate from carbon emissions. Hydrogen could power trucks, ships and planes and be used to produce everything from cement to steel and fertiliser. They have government backing too, with heavy spending on recharging networks.

Reducing carbon emissions is another significant benefit of avoiding the burning of fossil fuels with offshore wind. In fact, in some parts of the country, offshore wind may become the largest zero-carbon generation source for cutting power plant carbon emissions and achieving net-zero carbon emissions across the economy.
