We conduct public interest financial analysis on the most profound economic transformation since the industrial revolution: the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.

For developing economies navigating simultaneous development and decarbonization challenges, China’s green technology cooperation enables potential leapfrogging of traditional high-carbon industrialization. Over the past three years, Chinese companies have committed over $180 billion to overseas clean-energy manufacturing and infrastructure, according to the Climate Energy Finance. And China has signed 55 memorandums of understanding on South-South climate cooperation with 43 countries, including programs such as low-carbon demonstration zones. Read more

“South Australia is a world leader in terms of its renewable energy transition and with that comes risks, but now it is showcasing its successes,” says Tim Buckley, an independent energy analyst at Climate Energy Finance, an Australian think-tank based in Sydney. “South Australian consumers are starting to really benefit from sustained, lower power prices.” South Australia generated 84 per cent of its electricity from solar and wind energy in the final quarter of 2025, the highest proportion of any major grid in the world. The state plans to reach 100 per cent by the end of next year. Read more

On LinkedIn, clean energy finance specialist Tim Buckley says the IEA’s analysis points the way from electrification to energy independence and decarbonization. With 448 gigawatts of new renewables capacity installed in 2025 alone, he adds, the data also underline China’s massive lead in deployment. “China leads the world in all cleantech sectors, the zero-emissions growth industries of the future,” Buckley writes. “China leads in research and development, domestic manufacturing, domestic deployments, exports, and outbound foreign direct investment (OFDI) in cleantech. Dominates the world. China speed, China scale is amazing to watch.” Read more
