The latest data, for the first quarter of 2025, shows that China’s CO2 emissions have now been stable or falling for more than a year, as shown in the figure below.

However, with emissions remaining just 1% below the recent peak, it remains possible that they could jump once again to a new record high.

Outside of the power sector, emissions increased 3.5%, with the largest rises in the use of coal in the metals and chemicals industries.

Sector-by-sector analysis suggests that, in addition to the power sector, emissions have likely also peaked in the building materials and steel sectors, as well as oil products consumption.

My energy provider in the Netherlands provides something kind of like this, if you install a compatible EV charger it can charge when it's cheapest (which I assume correlates).

Some places here also have time of use metering. However as far as I know it’s old style fixed schedule, like 11p-5am or something.

This is an opportunity to be a lot more dynamic to help the utility smooth the load better.

We had time of use metering where I grew up, but at the time the only intelligence we had was a timer. Now we have $50k+ vehicles with an ai computer - it better be capable of more
