China, India may miss emission goals despite green energy push


Wood Mackenzie says Asia behind Europe in climate targets but EV adoption rising

SINGAPORE -- China and India may miss their national greenhouse gas emission goals by the end of the current decade, even as both are set to contribute heavily to Asia's green energy push in areas like hydrogen, a report released on Wednesday said. The report by Wood Mackenzie, an energy and natural resources consultancy, projected that China's emission intensity is on track to fall 63% between 2005 and 2030, below the government target of 65%, while India's will drop 30% in this period -- lower than its target of 45%.
