Records of more than 40 degrees Celsius were recorded this week in some zones in northern and central China, according to state media and authorities.

Among the cities most affected by the heat wave, Chendzu, a 13 million -resident, Captain of Henan province (central China), recorded a 41 -degree Celsius today, Monday, Monday.

In Landsu, a little further north, mercury climbed up to the 43.2 degrees Celsiuswhile the small town of Scheha in the northern province of Hembay recorded 42.9 degrees Celsius, the National Weather Service said today.

These extreme temperatures are expected to be reduced by Friday, with a vertical drop in temperature that can drop to locations up to 15 degrees Celsius.

For some summers, extreme meteorological phenomena, heat and droughts have occurred in China, as well as torrential rains and floods.

The first country in the country in the gas emissions that cause the greenhouse effect, China also has a high production of renewable energy and hopes to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.

China has increased significantly in recent years its potential in solar and wind energy to reduce its dependence on its coal economy, a very polluting source of energy.

However, according to experts, the country is still delayed in one of its most important goals for 2030, ie the reduction of carbon tension (carbon dioxide emissions compared to GDP) by 65% ​​compared to 2005.

The increase in renewable energy sources in China has allowed a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the first trimester of 2025, despite a large increase in demand.

Thanks to its new potential in Aeolian, Solar and Nuclear Energy, the country reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 1.6% in a year, according to Lauri Milivirta, an analyst at the Crea Research and Crea Research Center.

China had announced last month that its capacity to produce wind and solar energy in the first trimester first surpassed production from thermoelectric installations, which is mainly derived from carbon power stations.

However, carbon remains essential in energy production in China.

Thus, despite the increase in renewable sources, China began in 2024 the construction of 94.5 gigavat electricity thermal stations and Chinese carbon production has been increasing in recent years, passing from 3.9 billion tonnes to 2020 to 4.8 billion tonnes to 2024.
