As nations scramble for oil amidst the Iran war, predictions of a downturn in China's clean technology exports have proven incorrect. In March 2024, China's solar exports surged to 68 gigawatts, doubling from previous figures. Demand has soared particularly in countries like India and the Philippines, which are seeking alternatives to fossil fuels. Exports of batteries and electric vehicles also increased by 38%. This trend highlights China's dominance in clean technology production, with significant market shares in solar (80%), wind (70%), and batteries (80%). The ongoing oil crisis is prompting countries to secure more reliable energy sources, leading to a consistent rise in clean tech exports. As the International Energy Agency notes, this shift could further reduce reliance on fossil fuels, as solar energy becomes a more viable alternative to coal and gas. With the global energy transition accelerating, China's export boom signals a pivotal shift in the energy landscape.
