The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis estimates that the share of coal-generated electricity in China will decline from 72.5% in 2014 to 60% in 2020. While last year’s drop in coal use may have been a technical blip, Chinese coal consumption is expected to peak very soon – probably next year.
好消息是去年中国煤炭使用量略有下降——预计这一趋势将会持续。能源经济学和金融分析研究所（Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis）估算，中国煤电比例将从2014年的72.5%下降到2020年的60%。去年的煤炭使用量下降也许只是技术上的波动，但预计中国煤炭消费量很快就会见顶——有可能就在明年。
