From 2000 to 2010, China’s energy use grew 130%, up from a growth of 50% the previous decade. China’s share of global energy-related CO 2 emissions has increased in just eight years from 14% in 2000 to 22% in 2008. Eighty percent of those emissions came from coal, making China the consumer of about half the world’s coal.
