China’s emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such as oil and gas are forecast to stall this year as the nation installs more clean energy capacity to tackle climate change.
Emissions tied directly to burning fossil fuels, the biggest source of carbon emissions, may rise only 0.24 percent in 2015 from a year earlier, the slowest pace in at least 15 years, according to a Bloomberg New Energy Finance preliminary estimate based on coal consumption data drawn from government customs reports, company production filings and port inventories.
