Global Carbon Project Report: About Half of Global Carbon Emissions Avoided Through Renewables and EVs in 2026 Achieved in China

On the evening of November 11, 2026, the international organization Global Carbon Project released the "Global Carbon Budget 2026" report, completed by an international team led by researchers from the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The report estimates that global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use will decrease by 0.4% year-on-year in 2026 to 38.2 billion tonnes. The expansion of solar and wind energy, combined with turbulence in global energy markets, jointly drove this decline. Among them, oil-related emissions are expected to fall by 1.9%, natural gas-related emissions are expected to fall by 0.3%, and coal-related emissions are expected to rise by 0.6%. The report notes that about half of the global carbon dioxide emissions avoided through renewable energy and electric vehicles were achieved in China, which also absorbed the most carbon through afforestation and reforestation. In addition, global carbon dioxide emissions from land-use change are expected to rise to 5.1 billion tonnes in 2026. Including this portion, total global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to rise from 42.8 billion tonnes in 2025 to 43.3 billion tonnes in 2026.
